Lord of the Rings cinematographer, Andrew Lesnie, dies
Andrew Lesnie, Oscar-winning Australian cinematographer of the Lord of the Rings films, has died at the age of 59, BBC News reported.
The Sydney native, who won an Oscar in 2002 for his work on the first Lord of the Rings film, is believed to have suffered a heart attack on Monday.
Russell Crowe, who recently worked with Leslie on his directorial debut The Water Diviner, was among the first to react to the news.
"The master of the light, genius Andrew Lesnie has passed on," he tweeted.
