Iconic filmmaker Chuck Russell, known for directing the 1994 Jim Carrey smash hit “The Mask,” has died at age 74. His family confirmed the unexpected passing at his San Diego home, with emergency services called before his death. Russell’s career spanned decades, from early roles as an assistant director and writer to directing beloved films like “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3,” “The Blob,” “Eraser,” and “The Scorpion King.” He famously adapted “The Mask” from a dark comic book origin into a surreal comedy thanks to Carrey’s genius. His genre-blending style and lasting cultural impact make him a true cinematic legend.
