    My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

    #nowwatching Event Horizon (1997) Oh f🌌k yeah, time for some scifi horror. This movie rules. Seen it so many times. Sam Neill is my top "Guy I Love to See(tm)" in movies. Eye trauma, space trauma, and an amazing set piece with the spinning blades and rotating core. Who else loves this one?

    Watching Event Horizon and two things stand out. First is that the movie has aged remarkably well. The other is that as an engineer and scientist, when your technological wonder ship is powered by arcane panels and torture rings in a sphere filled with spikes, you may have made some design errors.

    When I was a kid I taped tons of stuff off the TV. Imagine my surprise when I popped in one of my many tapes labeled “Space Ghost” and watched a few episodes when suddenly it switches to a movie I had no recollection of recording. Anyway that’s how I first saw Event Horizon, RIP Sam Neill.

    The Sam Neill tributes will rightly focus on his achievements in Jurassic Park, The Piano, Hunt For the Wilderpeople etc. But he also gave what I think are three of the greatest horror movie performances of all time: Possession (1981), In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) and Event Horizon (1997) .

    Actor Sam Neill had that idea when he played an Australian astronaut in the film "Event Horizon" (1997) set in 2047. He asked for that design, saying he thought by 2047 Australia would celebrate its Indigenous history. #InvasionDay

    Sam Neill truly was a legend. One of my favourite movie details is the patch on his sleeve in Event Horizon which he requested because he was a supporter of Aboriginal rights.

    Okay, so this is crazy. 🤯 In Event Horizon, a film from 1997, Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform be replaced with a photo of Lionel Messi bathing the baby Lamine Yamal, the way he thought it should look in 2047! 👏👏👏

    About Event Horizon (1997) Sam Neill: "It's funny how often that film comes up of all the films I've made. And it's not that it did particularly well. But people seem to have seen it and it just sort of sears itself into their imagination or something."

    Beloved actor Sam Neill (1947-2026) has died. Adored him in so many films, esp. "Jurassic Park", "The Dish", "Hunt for the Wilderpeople". In "Event Horizon" set in 2047, he asked for this 👇 Australian flag design, saying he thought by then Australia would celebrate its Indigenous history.

If at 21 after watching Event Horizon opening night & thinking ‘Now that’s my shit’ I’d known I’d be official involved with film 28 years layer I’d have lost my mind. Lots of gratitude and joy to have this life.
