Sci-fi legend Dan O’Bannon has died at the age of 63 after a 30-year battle with Crohn’s disease.  He is survived by his wife,  Diane, and his son, Adam. He also leaves behind some amazing work.  He wrote Total Recall, Lifeforce, and the first draft of the script that later became Alien.  He wrote and directed Return Of The Living Dead, did some of the computer effects on Star Wars, and was co-writer, visual effects supervisor, and actor on John Carpenter’s Dark Star (clip below, and yes, that alien is tickling him).

I hope Roy Brocksmith shows up soon to tell me none of this is real.
