SPY REPORT: New Episode II Character Name? Posted By Joshua on July 21, 2000
A source who doesn't wish to be named chimes in with this interesting tidbit. The name of a character in Episode II. The informant believes that the name is that of Christopher Lee's character in the prequel-sequel better known as Episode II.
What we know so far is that LFL has called his character a "charismatic separatist" but does not give the name or exactly detail how large of a role he is playing. While we still aren't aware of the size of his part, TFN has learned according to sources that his character is named Count Durko.
Now, needless to say Lee has played in movies with characters like Count Dracula and Count Drago, so this immediately sends off warning lights. With that having been said, this source has provided us with other tidbits that have been totally accurate.
So is this legit? Is it a fake name for a character to throw people off the trail? Is this only his nickname for the role around the production? Only time will tell ... feel free to write us with comments, or if you know more send us a note.
