The life of Grigori Rasputin has been the subject of a variety of media since his death. ==Films== * Within nine months of Rasputin's murder, two low budget silent films about Rasputin were released in September 1917. Producer-director Herbert Brenon released ''The Fall of the Romanovs'', while producer William A. Brady released ''Rasputin, the Black Monk''. Rasputin was played by Edward Connelly in the former and Montagu Love in the latter. * Conrad Veidt played Rasputin in the 1932 German production ''Rasputin, Dämon der Frauen''. * Lionel Barrymore played Rasputin in the 1932 MGM production ''Rasputin and the Empress''. The film co-starred his siblings John Barrymore and Ethel Barrymore. * Christopher Lee played Rasputin in the 1966 Hammer production ''Rasputin: The Mad Monk''. * Gert Fröbe played Rasputin in ''J'ai tué Raspoutine'' (I Killed Rasputin) (1967), featuring an interview with the real Prince Felix Yussupov. * Tom Baker played Rasputin in the 1971 epic ''Nicholas and Alexandra''. * The 1980 Australian film ''Harlequin'' rehashes Rasputin's story in a contemporary setting; Robert Powell played the Rasputin character, a mysterious faith healer called Gregory Wolfe. The characters corresponding to Nicholas II and Alexandra Fyodorovna were called Nick and Sandra Rast ('Rast' being 'Tsar' backwards). * Alan Rickman played Rasputin in a film produced by and first aired by HBO in 1996. ''Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny'' also starred Ian McKellen and Greta Scacchi as the Tsar and Tsarina. Rickman and Scacchi each won an Emmy for their performance, and Rickman and McKellen each won a Golden Globe.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC_5ROBX3H0〕 * Christopher Lloyd voiced Rasputin, while Jim Cummings performed his singing voice, in the 1997 animated film ''Anastasia'', in which the sorcerer is the primary antagonist, after he sold his soul for his powers. In this role, Rasputin had brought himself to life after dying in the Neva River, in order to complete a curse he placed on the Romanovs by killing the last of the royal family, Grand Duchess Anastasia. He ends up being killed by his own hellish minions, reducing him to nothing but a skeleton which ends up turning into dust. He is accompanied by a comical albino bat of unidentified species called Bartok. * Rasputin has also been played by actors such as Lionel Barrymore, and Michael Aldridge, to varying degrees of historical accuracy. Edmund Purdom played Rasputin in a 1960 film co-starring Lionel Barrymore's nephew John Drew Barrymore. * Rasputin, played by Karel Roden, is the repeatedly resurrected villain of the 2004 film ''Hellboy'', based on the comics series of the same name (see Comics, below). Years after his assassination in 1916, he is now a servant of the Ogdru Jahad, a Lovecraftian embodiment of chaos and evil, and incidentally, bald. He summons Hellboy to Earth during World War II, is killed, but later returns to employ Hellboy's mystical right hand in a bid to free the Ogdru Jahad and end the world. He has been reincaranted through the years and when he is killed a demon emerges from his body. His potential return to the film franchise was teased in promotional materials associated with the ''Hellboy II: The Golden Army,'' the second film, but he ended up not appearing in the film. * Rasputin played a major element in the film, ''Case Closed: The Last Wizard of the Century''. * The evil Russian villain of the stop-motion animated series ''The New Adventures of Pinocchio'' was named after Rasputin and bears a similar appearance. * Gérard Depardieu plays Rasputin in a 2011 French-Russian production. The actor said it had long been his dream to play this larger than life character. Alongside Depardieu, the movie features French actress Fanny Ardant and Russian actor Vladimir Mashkov as the Tsars. Written by Vincent Fargeat and Philippe Besson, the movie was directed by Josée Dayan. It was entirely shot in Russia, mostly in Saint-Petersburg, where the actual events of Rasputin's life took place. *Leonardo DiCaprio, according to a Deadline.com report, has been attached to play the lead role in an eponyomous biopic written by American Sniper (2015 film) scribe Jason Hall and reportedly produced by Warner Bros.. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grigori Rasputin in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
