After fourteen months, he abruptly canceled the project and didn't fulfill all of the backer rewards. Recently, the FTC decided that this violated the law and filed a complaint with a federal court. , and several suspicious campaigns, so it is good that the FTC is attempting to stop such wrongful spending.

Count Dooku in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Christopher Lee leaves us a legacy of incredibly convincing and unforgettable villains. No matter how you feel about the Star Wars prequels, there's absolutely no denying the power of Christopher Lee as the corrupt Jedi Master Count Dooku. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Saruman in The Lord of The Rings Trilogy
Christopher Lee perfected the portrayal of very human characters who found themselves trapped by their lust for power. Saruman the White's fall from grace wouldn't be the same without Lee's complete conviction. (Photo: New Line Cinema)
Francisco Scaramanga in The Man With the Golden Gun
A KGB assassin who's committed to a fair fight? Roger Moore has his work cut out for him in his battle against the ultra creepy Francisco, one of the most memorable villains in the Bond series. (Photo: United Artists)
Ansem the Wise in Kingdom Hearts II

Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man (1973)

Dr. Wilbur Wonka in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
Throughout most of Tim Burton's bizarre take on the classic children's book, audiences are left to wonder where Johnny Depp's outlandish Wonka could have come from. When we finally learn of his deranged dentist dad, played by Lee, it all starts to make sense. (Photo: Warner Bros.)
Overlord Lucan D'Lere in EverQuest II
Lucan may be the overlord of a levitating fortress in this classic MMO, but he's also a fallen paladin bound by an ancient curse. Who else could play him besides Christopher Lee? (Photo: Daybreak Game Company)
Pastor Galswells in The Corpse Bride
When you need a ghastly priest to preside over an arranged Victorian marriage, Christopher Lee is your man. His stirring voice talents add an indelible spark to Tim Burton's classic stop-motion film. (Photo: Warner Bros.)
