De dood van Nicholas Roeg liet Hollywood niet onbewogen. Onder meer Edgar Wright, Guillermo del Toro en Brad Bird brachten hulde aan de Britse regisseur van onder andere Performance, Walkabout en Don’t Look Now.

Regisseur Duncan Jones (Moon) deelde een foto van Roeg, David Bowie en zichzelf. Bowie, Jones’ vader, vertolkte de hoofdrol in Roegs The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Just heard another great storyteller, the inimitable Nicolas Roeg left us today. What an incredible body of work he’s left us with!
All my love to his family.
Thank you for making so many brave choices, & giving this strange little lad in pajamas an ongoing love of filmmaking. pic.twitter.com/QVg2znq3Rs

Farewell to the extraordinary cinematic talent, director Nicolas Roeg. His films hypnotized me for years and still continue to intrigue. Along with classics like Performance & Walkabout, I could watch Don't Look Now on a loop & never tire of its intricacies. A master of the art. pic.twitter.com/fXB7GPwOL9

Of his infinite talent and multiple achievements, if I was forced to choose one Roeg film (it would be hard)I would choose "Don't Look Now" as it stands full of secrets and sadness and terror and beauty above all. A moebius strip of life and death, love and destruction. pic.twitter.com/XFIzLCfbQh

Nicholas Roeg, first as a Cinematographer, then as a Director, saw cinema through a very unique pair of eyes. WALKABOUT, DON’T LOOK NOW, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, INSIGNIFICANCE, THE WITCHES. May the work live on. And the man…
Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/aa36jHGqLW

My friend and mentor #NicholasRoeg has died, which is odd because I thought he was indestructible. #Badtiming was his curse, #Eureka his bastard child, #DontLookNow, #Walkabout & #TheManWhoFellToEarth, the greatest unbroken run in film history. https://t.co/9XOkRsykdS
