O lendário coreógrafo Bob Anderson faleceu na manhã de ontem, 1º de janeiro, aos 89 anos. O anúncio foi feito pela Academia Britânica de Esgrima, que lamentou a perda.

Anderson se especializou em realizar coreografias de lutas de espadas e ficou marcado pelo trabalho em filmes como Barry Lyndon, Highlander, A Máscara do Zorro, O Senhor dos Anéis, 007 - Um Novo Dia Para Morrer e Piratas do Caribe.

Também desenvolveu a coreografia na trilogia Guerra nas Estrelas, tendo sido o responsável por interpretar o vilão Darth Vader nas cenas de luta com sabres de luz.

A participação de Anderson em Star Wars foi mantida em segredo por alguns anos, mas o ator Mark Hamill quebrou o silêncio em 1983: "Bob Anderson foi o homem que interpretou Vader lutando. Isto era para ser um segredo, mas falei com George Lucas que não considerava justo. Bob trabalhou pesado e merecia um reconhecimento". Até então, pensava-se que o ator David Prowse havia feito as sequências com brigas de Vader.

Mesmo já contando com 89 anos, o profissional ainda não estava disposto a se aposentar. Atualmente, ele trabalhava como consultor em O Hobbit: Uma Jornada Inesperada.

Biography

As a competitive fencer, he represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games in 1952,[2] and the World Championships in 1950 and 1953 in the sabre event.[3] He finished tied for fifth in the team sabre event at Helsinki in 1952. After his retirement from fencing competition, he became the British National Coach, eventually emigrating to Canada, where he went on to become technical director of the Canadian Fencing Association.[4] During the 1960s and 1970s he was also the president of the British Academy of Fencing.[5]

Anderson's cinema career began in 1953 when he choreographed fights for and coached Errol Flynn in The Master of Ballantrae. During rehearsal for a scene he accidentally slashed Flynn on his thigh, leading to notoriety in Hollywood as "the man who stabbed Errol Flynn".[1] He went on to work as a stunt performer and/or fight choreographer in films such as The Guns of Navarone and the Bond films From Russia With Love and Casino Royale. His stature in Hollywood was cemented when he was selected by Stanley Kubrick in 1974 to act as the sword master for Barry Lyndon.

Anderson subsequently went on to be involved in all three of the original Star Wars films. Anderson did not receive much recognition for his work for years after their initial release, in part because David Prowse was so lauded for his portrayal that director George Lucas did not want to detract from the boost it gave the actor's career. In a 1983 interview, however, Mark Hamill paid homage to Anderson's contribution, saying: "Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader's fighting. It was always supposed to be a secret, but I finally told George I didn't think it was fair any more. Bob worked so bloody hard that he deserves some recognition. It's ridiculous to preserve the myth that it's all done by one man."[4]

Anderson continued to work in cinema for the next thirty years, and was responsible for the sword work in many films, including Highlander, The Princess Bride, The Three Musketeers, The Mask of Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Shortly before his death he was working on The Hobbit. He had a reputation for being a perfectionist, with director Martin Campbell giving him the nickname "Grumpy Bob".[1] Anderson was interviewed at length for the 2009 documentary on cinematic sword-fighting, Reclaiming the Blade where he commented, "I never took up the sword, I think the sword took me up."[6]
Anderson died on New Year's Day 2012 in a West Sussex hospital. He was 89.[7]
