He was 58. Dec 27 (Reuters) - Jean-Marc Vallée, a Canadian best known for directing the Oscar-nominated film "Dallas Buyers Club" and Emmy-winning HBO series "Big Little Lies," died suddenly at his cabin outside Quebec City. He was 58. Vallée's demise was reported on Sunday by entertainment website Deadline and confirmed on Twitter by his representative Bumble Ward. "Still in shock over the news that Jean-Marc Vallée has died," Ward said, adding that he was thoughtful and kind "while still being a creative genius." Vallée's Hollywood breakthrough came with the 2013 AIDS drama "Dallas Buyers Club," which won Oscars for actors Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. The movie was based on the true story of homophobic drug addict Ron Woodroof, played by McConaughey, who smuggles much-needed but unapproved medication into the United States to distribute to other AIDS patients. Vallée's recent win as a director came from HBO series "Big Little Lies" starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Zoë Kravitz. The show won eight Emmy awards in 2017. He directed "Demolition," a 2015 drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal, about a New York investment banker coming to grips with his wife's sudden death. Vallée had at the time called "Demolition" his most “rock and roll” film, both for its pulsing soundtrack in a film otherwise punctuated by silence, and its often provocative and offbeat portrayal of grief. Vallée, who hailed from Montreal, forayed into the features film industry with his 1995 thriller "Black List" He is survived by two sons.

I was definitely not disappointed! Dallas Buyers Club (from Fandango) Director: Jean-Marc Vallée Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, and Jared Leto Runtime: 1 hour, 57 minutes Plot Summary: (from IMdB) Dallas 1985. Electrician and sometimes rodeo bull rider Ron Woodroof lives hard, which includes heavy smoking, drinking, drug use (primarily cocaine) and casual sex. He is a stereotypical redneck: racist and homophobic. While in the hospital on a work related injury, the doctors discover and inform him that he is HIV+, and that he will most-likely die within thirty days. Ron is initially in angry denial that he would have a disease that only “faggots” have, but upon quick reflection comes to the realization that the diagnosis is probably true. He begins to read whatever research is available about the disease, which at this time seems to be most effectively treated by the drug AZT. AZT, however, is only in the clinical trials stage within the US. Incredulous that he, as a dying man, cannot pay for any drug which may save or at least prolong his life, he goes searching for it by whatever means possible. It eventually leads him to Mexico and a “Dr.” Vass, an American physician whose license was revoked in the US because of his AIDS related work against US regulations. Dr. Vass leads Ron to a cocktail of other drugs, some vitamins, he believes are more effective in treating the symptoms, since the virus, as Ron learns, will always be in the system of those who have been exposed to it. Ron begins to smuggle these drugs not approved by the FDA into the US, not only for his own use but for sale to other HIV+ persons. In this venture, he goes into an unlikely partnership with a HIV+ transvestite named Rayon, who he met in the hospital and who has greater contact with AIDS patients through the gay community. As they try to work both above ground to get the meds to those that need them and underground to avoid detection by especially the FDA, Ron comes up with an idea to circumvent the fact of selling the drugs – which are not considered drugs yet since they are not FDA approved – directly to the HIV+ population, which then should should not be against the law. Richard Barkley and Dr. Sevard, the FDA’s lead man on the file and one of Ron’s doctors respectively, the latter who sees clinical trials as the only way to determine the efficacy of drugs despite the fact that Ron and others would have probably died already without these drugs, try to stop Ron and Rayon at every turn. Caught in the middle is Dr. Eve Saks, another of Ron’s doctors, who understands why policies are place, but who can sympathize with Ron, Rayon and others – all her patients, directly or indirectly – in their situation. Rating: Theater I would categorize this as one of the top ten movies I’ve seen, ever. Matthew McConaughey’s portrayal of Ron is heartbreakingly real and throughout this movie he makes you feel is fear, his frustration, and his vulnerability. I was equally in awe of Jared Leto’s portray of Rayon, who is amazingly confident in who he is, but heartbreakingly delicate. This movie just makes you feel. I had no idea that “buyers clubs” existed and can’t even imagine the desperation these people must feel when there are drugs available to save their lives yet they’re out of reach. If I had a vote for Best Picture in this year’s Oscars, this would easily be my pick. Definitely get to the theater to see this one! It’s already on Demand with Dish (not sure about other providers), so you can watch it at home as well! Ratings Explanation: Theater: This means the movie is awesome. Go see this movie in the theater – well worth the $100 you’ll spend for a night out to see it on the big screen! On Demand: Since no one actually rents movies anymore, this category has changed to On Demand. This means it’s a great movie, but it is as good at home as it is in the theater and worth seeing a little sooner. TV: This means the movie is ok. Wait for it to show up on HBO and see it for free. Skip It: Movie sucks, don’t waste your time. Jean-Marc Vallee was nearly ready to give up filmmaking before a 2005 project turned the tides on his career, a colleague recalled days after the Quebecois director and producer died. Vallee, who went on to direct a string of high-profile films and series after his breakout “ - winning an Emmy for the hit HBO series “Big Little Lies” and multiple nominations for the 2013 drama “Dallas Buyers Club” - died suddenly in his cabin outside Quebec City over the weekend, his representative Bumble Ward said Sunday. He was 58. Canadian producer Pierre Even, who worked with Vallee on a pair of projects including “ said the “difficult shoot” of the 2005 film had the filmmaker wondering if he'd ever make another movie. “We didn't have enough money, we were struggling to do everything we needed to do and Jean-Marc was saying: 'Pierre, you don't understand, this is going to be my last film,” Even said Monday in a phone interview from Montreal. “And I was telling him: 'I don't know if ' is going to be good or not … but I'm sure of one thing - you're going to make other films.” Vallee wrote, directed and co-produced the coming-of-age Quebec drama about a young gay man dealing with homophobia in the 1960s and '70s. The movie, which earned $6 million in box office revenue in Quebec alone, was Vallee's first feature film to be both written and directed by him. Even said Vallee, who had dreamt of creating the project for years, put “tremendous” pressure on himself to make it work. When they saw the reception of the film's premiere in Montreal, Even said they knew they had made “something special.” “It was always a film about somebody that feels different and wants to fit in, and that's a universal theme. But we were surprised how much the audience took the film and (it) became their story,” Even said. “During the premiere … we had people coming out of the theatre in tears saying 'that's my life.”' Even said Vallee was already a successful director in Canadian film circles, but “ made him a global name as it screened at other festivals. He said agents and production companies in Los Angeles were soon calling Vallee, wanting to meet him and discuss potential projects. “I think it made people realize not only was he a good director but he could tell a story that people would want to see and that would catch audiences all over the world,” Even said. Vallee, acclaimed for his naturalistic approach to filmmaking, directed stars including Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal over the past decade. He directed Emily Blunt in 2009's “The Young Victoria” and became an even more sought-after name in Hollywood after “Dallas Buyers Club,” featuring Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, earned six Academy Awards nominations, including best picture. Producing partner Nathan Ross said in a statement that Vallee “stood for creativity, authenticity and trying things differently.” “He was a true artist and a generous, loving guy. Everyone who worked with him couldn't help but see the talent and vision he possessed,” the statement said. “He was a friend, creative partner and an older brother to me. “The maestro will sorely be missed but it comforts knowing his beautiful style and impactful work he shared with the world will live on.” Vallee was born in Montreal and studied filmmaking at the College Ahuntsic and the Universite du Quebec a Montreal. He received the Directors Guild of America Award and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing in 2017 for the HBO Limited Series “Big Little Lies,” which he also executive produced. The series won eight Emmys and four Golden Globes in total. He also directed and executive produced the HBO limited series “Sharp Objects” which was nominated for eight Emmys. HBO called Vallee a “brilliant, fiercely dedicated filmmaker,” in a statement. “A truly phenomenal talent who infused every scene with a deeply visceral, emotional truth,” the statement said. “He was also a hugely caring man who invested his whole self alongside every actor he directed.” Even said Vallee demanded much from those who worked with him, but he was also very loyal, often bringing in Quebecois crews to work on other projects. He also edited many of his projects back home in Montreal, building a state-of-the-art editing suite in his home. “He was so passionate,” Even said, adding that Vallee's crews needed to work hard to achieve his vision. “But even if he's asking for the moon, let's get him the moon because we know it's going to be great.” Gavin Fernandes, a sound mixer in Montreal who worked with Vallee on a number of projects including “Dallas Buyers Club” and “Big Little Lies,” said the filmmaker was “on another level of film-making.” Fernandes admired Vallee's ear for music, which often led to him spending large amounts of his budget on securing music rights for his films rather than rely on original scores. Vallee was “hands on” in his editing approach, Fernandes recalled, and while the crew didn't always agree with some of his decisions in the moment, they always seemed to work out in the end. “There were times we'd literally sit back and say 'are we sure about this?' and he'd say 'trust me,”' Fernandes said. “And the show came out and the reviews came in, and inevitably, the thing we doubted turned out to be a really cool thing.” Celebrities took to social media to honour Vallee on Monday. Canadian actor Jay Baruchel said on Twitter that Vallee was “a profoundly gifted artist whose passions and efforts have advanced the medium of cinema.” Witherspoon posted a photo of herself and Vallee on Instagram with the caption: “My heart is broken. My friend. I love you.” Leto also shared a photo of him and Vallee on the app, crediting him with changing his life “with a beautiful movie called Dallas Buyers Club.” Vallee is survived by his sons, Alex and Emile, and siblings Marie-Josee Vallee, Stephane Tousignant and Gerald Vallee. Even said Vallee's impact on Canadian cinema will continue to be felt for years. “Jean-Marc had such a personal way of filming that it's not something you can copy,” he said. “There's only one Jean-Marc Vallee and when you watch 'Big Little Lies' or 'Sharp Objects' or ' or 'Cafe de Flore' or 'Wild,' you're going to see it's a Jean-Marc Vallee movie. “And that quality of filmmaking … it's so rare and so precious.” - With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 27, 2021. LOS ANGELES -- Director and producer Jean-Marc Vallée, who won an Emmy for directing the hit HBO series “Big Little Lies” and whose 2013 drama “Dallas Buyers Club” earned multiple Oscar nominations, has died. He was died suddenly in his cabin outside Quebec City, Canada, over the weekend, his representative Bumble Ward said Sunday.

The crew roamed up and down the Pacific Coast Trail to shoot Witherspoon in 2014's “Wild."“They can move anywhere they want,” the Canadian filmmaker said of his actors in a 2014 interview with The Associated Press. “It’s giving the importance to storytelling, emotion, characters. I try not to interfere too much. I don’t need to cut performances. Often, the cinematographer and I were like, ‘This location sucks. It’s not very nice. But, hey, that’s life.’”He re-teamed with Witherspoon to direct the first season of “Big Little Lies” in 2017, and directed Adams in 2018′s “Sharp Objects,” also for HBO. Vallée won DGA awards for both.“I will always remember you as the sun goes down," Witherspoon wrote on Instagram along with a series of photos of the director. "Chasing the light. On a mountain in Oregon. On a beach in Monterey. Making sure we all caught a little magic in this lifetime. I love you, Jean Marc. Until we meet again.”Her “Big Little Lies” co-star Laura Dern on Instagram called Vallée a “beloved friend” who was “one of our great and purest artists and dreamers.”Leto said on Twitter that he was “a filmmaking force and a true artist who changed my life.”And Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted that “Jean-Marc Vallée’s passion for filmmaking and storytelling was unmatched — so too was his talent. Through his work and with his art, he left a mark in Quebec, across Canada, and around the world.”———Associated Press Writers Jake Coyle and Andrew Dalton contributed to this report.
