Sean Bean Dies Again

In Black Death, a middling flick set in Medieval England.

I don't think I have ever seen him make it to the credits.  Dude must have a searing hatred of sequels and ensured he will never star in one.

Is that why there's no sequel to Ronin - because he survived?

He's reprising his role as Zeus in the Percy Jackson sequel.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Ha!  One movie he did survive.  Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, but he was told to go away and never come back upon pain of death.  That should preclude him appearing in a sequel to Ronin if such a beast were to exist.

More work in Hollywood for heels than heros.

I think that he survived that dumb airplane movie with Jodie Foster ...  =|
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

He had his head removed from his shoulders in Game of Thrones.  I don't think he'll be back in that series.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Remember, though, he made it all the way through the conquest of India, the Napoleonic wars and beyond as Richard Sharpe. Scratchy costumes, rugged location shooting, and the lingering taste of pyrotechnics may have left him unexcited at the prospect of repetition.
