German producer Bernd Eichinger died of heart attack

Hey folks,

just saw in the news that Bernd Eichinger died at age 61.

He produced a lot of hits over the last decades, and was one of the last movie tycoons.

Bernd Eichinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A few of my friends worked on movies that he had produced, and their impressions were all over the board, from gentleman to maniac.

"Neverending story","The Name of the Rose", "The Perfume" and a lot of genre movies like "Resident Evil", "Fantastic Four" and a few others.

A real visionary has left us, because he always believed in the German film.

But apparently you are the only one besides me :lol Or he did not have any significance in the rest of the world, at least not among geeks.

I rather enjoyed "The Name of the Rose"

Ooops! He brought a little Hollywood into the longwinding boring story telling of german movies.

That's sad. I'm a big Resident Evil fan, so I appreciated his work.
