Mar 18, 08 - 3:33 PM The World will miss my friend Anthony Minghella....

I found out this morning when my friends in London woke me up with this very tragic news :-( Ant was the name he was called on the set... and I had a wonderful time working with Anthony Minghella on Cold Mountain. His sudden death is a shock to everyone who had the pleasure of working with this great talent.

He was a gentle spirit with an outstanding mind and intellect and I am proud to have had the opportunity to have worked with him on the Oscar winning film Cold Mountain...
I extent my condolences to all his family... his wife and his son Max and I will pray for his journey home... Ant was a great man and this is a great loss for the World for he was truly a master story teller....

May you rest in peace my friend...

With all my heart
Jay Tavare...

His last movie was “Breaking and Entering.” His other credits include “Cold Mountain,” “The Talented Mr Ripley” and “Truly Madly Deeply.”

How sad that such a young creative person could leave this earth. I have Cold Mountain in my dvd collection. It was an amazing film and I'm sure we would have seen more of his wonderful works in the future.
