Courtesy cnet.com:  Actor Sir John Hurt, who appeared in over 200 films and TV shows, died Friday, January 27, 2017, at the age of 77, his agent John McDonald confirmed to the Washington Post. The actor revealed in 2015 that he was battling pancreatic cancer.
Hurt's 60-year career earned him two Oscar nominations. He played such memorable roles as the War Doctor in "Doctor Who," the wand maker Ollivander in three of the Harry Potter films; the deformed Joseph Merrick in "The Elephant Man;" Winston Smith in "Nineteen Eighty-Four" (1984) based on the George Orwell book; the Dragon in the "Merlin" TV series; and Professor Broom in the "Hellboy" films, to name a few.
In Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi thriller "Alien," Hurt plays a character named Kane whose stomach explodes with an alien he unknowingly became a host to in one of the most graphic, memorable scenes in the movie. He would repeat a similar scene in Mel Brooks's 1987 film "Spaceballs."
Hurt most recently played the Catholic priest Father Richard McSorley alongside actor Natalie Portman in the film "Jackie."

Deadline reports that Screenwriters David S. Goyer & Justin Rhodes have begun working on a script for a Green Lantern Corps movie, slated to be released in 2020.
Goyer will be producing the movie as well as co-writing the screenplay, with WB honchos Geoff Johns and Jon Berg as executive producers. The take is referred to as “Lethal Weapon in space” and will feature both Hal Jordan and John Stewart, the human Lanterns who’ve been the face of the Green Lantern property in previous movies and TV shows.
No word on who would be cast, but the Sci Fi Journal crew would like to see Nathan Fillion (Firefly/Castle) cast as Hal, and perhaps actor Idris Elba (Luthor/Star Trek:Beyond) play John Stewart. Stay tuned!
