    If John Hurt flat out told me he's a wizard, I'd honestly believe him.
    I mean, look at him! Don't you get the impression that he's a wizard? :D

    I went to a school where his brother was the cook! I also had a signed photo of him. It got so creased and damaged (thankyou shitty family for destroying yet another thing of mine like those arseholes, the other pupils, at the school in Wales where John Hurt's brother, a truly wonderful, loving, man was the cook) I ended up having to throw it away. I'd love to find out if John can cook anywhere near as superbly as his brother……..

    The scene that Hurt describes with the alien not poking through is available on the 2-DVD set in the production documentary – you can see the rushes. What really impressed me was his concentration, staying in character while people were yelling, "We can't see it yet! It hasn't poked through yet!" etc. The whole cast was really professional.

    @fatg1t I'll bet that if you wrote to Hurt and told this story he would send you another photograph. Both he and his brother seem to be very kind.

    LOL the Alien didn't burst from his stomach, it bursted from his CHEST. Hence the name, "chestburster"…
