John Carpenter has released a statement on the passing of Sam Neill: "I'm heartbroken to hear about Sam. We made two movies together, and every day on set was better because he was there.  "He was one of the finest actors I've ever worked with and brought intelligence, wit, and absolute commitment to every scene, making every moment feel real.  "Beyond the talent, he was a true gentleman. Over the years, I was lucky to call him a friend and I always admired his generosity, curiosity, and quiet sense of humor. "The world has lost a remarkable actor, father, farmer, and friend.  Thank you, Sam, for your extraordinary work, kindness, and the memories.  "Keep laughing at the madness of it for all for us, wherever you are."
