Topic: Richard Marquand


  
  Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marquand's other work, such as Eye of the Needle is, like much of Return of the Jedi more concerned with traditional midshot/dialogue/reaction shot sequences and rarely ventures into the very wide angles one associates with Lucas.
Marquand also uses a more straightforward 'moving camera' style, whereas Lucas alternates between large, classical and abstract tableau compositions (often involving vertical lines) and a cinema verite approach to film, using hand-held cameras during action sequences.
The working relationship between George Lucas and Marquand was said to be bad, and that the main camera operator left the project because he felt Lucas was mistreating Marquand.

The view of Managing Director Richard Marquand on disposing of vegetable peelings / waste at F G Marquand and Son, the vegetable growers and processors of Callington, in Cornwall.
Until recently, all the onion skins and other waste (sometimes including whole onions that did not meet Marqand’s and Ginster’s high standards) were dropped into a bin at the end of the inspection conveyor and then taken manually to a large skip.
This procedure was indeed time consuming and messy and, due to the shape of onion skins, the skip could only hold 6-7 tonnes before it was full and had to be taken away by outside contractors.

Marquand incorporated many of his finely-honed documentary techniques in his dramatized 1979 TV movie The Birth of the Beatles.
On the strength of his direction of the 1981 feature Eye of the Needle, Marquand was hired by George Lucas to direct Return of the Jedi (1983).

 OMNI Magazine - Richard Marquand
Richard Marquand sat on the knee, if not in the lap, of American luxury and professed his astonishment at being part of "all this." Catamarans drifted across the man-made lagoon whose waters splashed upon the redwood deck of his rented San Francisco Bay Area villa.
Marquand, by contrast, is relatively unknown, inexperienced as a director of feature films, and British.
Marquand confessed, "I always had the feeling that possibly I'd find myself in a situation where I was a horse dragging this thing (....) and that George would hold the reins, and I would just be a cipher sitting there."

Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges were set to star with Richard Marquand as director.
Richard intuited my emotional state without outwardly speaking of it.
He later told me the situation was perfect, as he felt I was so naturally nice, and the character was such a cold bitch, he wanted me to be organically closer to the nature of the character.

The film's director was the late Richard Marquand, who passed away in 1987 of a heart ailment, but reports have suggested that George Lucas was still heavily involved in the shooting of Return of the Jedi and likely directed some of the second unit work personally when shooting threatened to go over schedule.
Some have noted the differences between Richard Marquand's direction style and Lucas' direction style and say that they're dissimilar.
However, reports have suggested that Marquand's involvement in the creative process was minimal, and George Lucas effectively took over the making of the film.

Instead it is a look at the three directors who made them -- Lucas, Kershner, and Marquand (the latter two in collaboration with Lucas, a controlling creative producer) -- and where these films fit in their careers.
Although Richard Marquand had directed both features and TV movies, he first attracted our attention with Eye of the Needle (1980), a stylish Hitchcockian thriller.
There was trepidation when the news came that Lucas had picked Marquand to direct Return.

Elliott, naturally, is a bit upset by the news and takes steps to end this nonsense.
This was the feature film debut of director Marquand, who would go on to make such notable pictures as EYE OF THE NEEDLE; RETURN OF THE JEDI; and JAGGED EDGE.
Unfortunately, he demonstrates little of that talent in this film, which is dry, dull, and terribly predictable.

The fact that Close's character falls for him is more convenient than plausible, but it is a necessary emotional bridge for Eszterhas and the late director Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle) to build toward a powerful finale.
For his part, Bridges is Ok, but doesn't have the needed range to handle the duality of his character on a consistant level throughout the movie...The late Richard Marquand proves that you can direct a mega sci-fi epic, like Return Of The Jedi, and then take on a thriller like this.
Clearly, he was going for a film that oozes the Hitchcock style, as a homage and not a mere rip off.

The late British director Richard Marquand had his share of hits (Eye of the Needle, Return of the Jedi, Jagged Edge), but when he was off his game (Hearts of Fire, The Legacy), he was truly off.
The 1984 Until September is one of Marquand's misfires, though it is hardly an embarrassment.
A love story about two strong-willed individuals, the film stars Karen Allen as Mo, an American tourist (from that other "Mo," Missouri) stranded in Paris for a few weeks.

It all depends on what the writer wants the audience to think at a given moment.
Fortunately, director Richard Marquand and his actors are up to the challenge of transforming a mediocre script into an entertaining film.
Bridges does a fine job reconciling the conflicting elements of Jack's character.

With the billions he raked in from the "Star Wars" films ("Star Wars" was the highest grossing films of all time until the release of "E.T."), George Lucas started the state-of-the-art special effects company Industrial Light & Magic, which produces the effects for numerous films and TV shows, including "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
Though directed by Richard Marquand, the director of the television epic "Search for the Nile," George Lucas was constantly present on the set during the making of "Return of the Jedi." Marquand said it was "like directing 'King Lear' with Shakespeare in the next room."
Working titles for the film were "Star Wars: Episode 6: Return of the Jedi" and "Star Wars: Episode 6: Revenge of the Jedi."

In this razor-sharp thriller about crime, punishment and passion, JEFF BRIDGES stars as the prime suspect in a grisly murder case and GLENN CLOSE is the attorney who puts her life in danger when she falls for her client.
Co-starring PETER COYOTE (from ERIN BROCKOVICH), LANCE HENRIKSEN (from ALIENS) and ROBERT LOGGIA (in his 1986 Oscar nominated role), JAGGED EDGE is a masterpiece of suspense and top-class moviemaking from Joe Eszterhas (writer of hits like BASIC INSTINCT and SLIVER) and RICHARD MARQUNAD (director of RETURN OF THE JEDI).
