      Anton Furst had separated from his wife and begun taking Halcion, a sleeping drug that had been banned in Britain due to its possible side effects of amnesia, paranoia and depression. His drinking also became more of a problem. He was scheduled to check into rehab in 1992. On the night of November 24, 1991, he told his friends he was going to the car to fetch his cigarettes. Instead, he jumped off an eight-storey parking deck.

    Anton Furst's Gotham City was (and is), by and large, the single greatest interpretation - He would have killed it with Batman Returns, had he lived to work on it. Bo Welch's designs were far too stagey IMO and the German Expressionistic "Dr. Caligari" influence was misplaced. Then again, lots of shit was misplaced in Batman Returns... lol!

    • @StevieStitches
      @StevieStitches 5 років тому +3

      Misplaced? Nonsense. Batman Archives vol. 1 (1990) introduction by Rick Marschall, "Once again, the touch of Kane and Finger. Strange props (a favorite device of Finger), failing shadows - was reminiscent of the Surrealist German movie The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari...and could be just as nightmarish. The City - that backdrop which was sometimes a mood setting frieze, sometimes an enveloping or even choking atmosphere that mirrored the twisted preoccupations of the villains."

    Fun Fact: Mel Gibson was actually offered the role of Batman for Batman 1989 but sadly he was too busy with Lethal Weapon. I like Michael Keaton but I can’t help but think how much better Mel would have been as Batman especially since he is basically exactly what comic Bruce Wayne looks like. And Mad Max is already very similar to Batman.

    Fun fact: Anton Furst was under contract with Columbia, and wanted to find a way to work on Batman Returns. And Burton just sort of unceremoniously cut this guy off, just stopped taking his calls, and this was where he was doing a lot of work for personal friends, and professional relationships. He was just cutting ties with people sort of inexplicably. And unfortunately, he had substance abuse problems. He was supposed to go into rehab and was going to check himself in. And then one night, he just decided… to jump off a roof instead. He committed suicide. It was a month and a half after realizing “Oh, so they don't want me for this next Batman movie.” He and Burton had never had a chance to reconcile. Burton just stopped speaking to him. Furst had no idea what happened, he spiraled into this depression and that's how it ended.
    (Obviously, I'm not saying he died because of what Burton did to him, Furst was a very troubled guy. I guess it's just because Burton is famously a guy who avoids conflict. Like he had the producer of Batman Returns fire his agents for him so that he can sign on with a different agency. Like he just doesn't want to have those conversations. I think Burton had probably already decided “I just made Edward Scissorhands, I want the designer to reimagine everything because I don't want to make the same movie again.” And rather than trying to let Anton Furst down, gently, it was just like “Or I could not talk to him at all and then eventually he'll figure it out.”)
