Gigi Bannister Shares Behind the Scenes ‘Phantasm’ Photos in Memory of Angus Scrimm
One year ago yesterday, we lost Angus Scrimm.
The Phantasm franchise came to a fitting end last year with Phantasm: Ravager, which featured one of Angus Scrimm’s final performances. Scrimm, who is most known for playing the terrifying Tall Man in the Phantasm series, passed away last January, and in memory of the great horror icon, Gigi Bannister just shared some behind the scenes shots we thought you’d like to see.
Gigi, the longtime wife of Phantasm star Reggie Bannister, was a co-producer of Phantasm: Ravager and she also worked in the special effects departments for both Oblivion and Ravager. She was a close personal friend of Scrimm’s, and she paid touching tribute on Facebook yesterday. Bannister wrote:
On this day, we’re feeling melancholy. So photos we took on set behind the scenes of Phantasm 4 and Phantasm 5 are here. Reggie and I are missing Angus (Rory) Scrimm on this day – the first year of his passing. It is also the 3rd year my daughter Autumn Cerenil-Lee has been missing without word. So, let’s enjoy these moments and happy memories.
The photos take you behind the scenes of the films as well as an Oblivion wrap party and even personal hangouts. Head over to Gigi Bannister’s Facebook for captions and more photos.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
