Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
It's hard enough to write a piece like this when you have a whole career to look back on and discuss, but what do you say when someone was only 22 years old, when they were just getting started?
It's been widely reported now that R&B performer Aaliyah, who appeared in ROMEO MUST DIE as well as the upcoming QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, was killed Saturday when a small plane crashed just after takeoff in the Bahamas. Seven others were also killed in the crash, and one person survived with serious injuries.
Aaliyah was scheduled to star in THE MATRIX RELOADED as Zee, one of the major new characters. It's a genuine tragedy that just as she was starting to gain real momentum as an entertainer, her life has been cut short, and the sympathy of the full AICN staff goes out to her friends and family tonight.
"Moriarty" out.
