Question: Which film has the director died first, A Final Reckoning or Quatermass And The Pit (Film)?

Roger Rowland( 1 April 1935, York – 14 January 2011, Toronto) was a British TV actor predominantly working in the 1970s and 1980s. His main role was as Bill North in the TV series" Special Branch" but his first TV appearance was in 1958 in" Quatermass and the Pit" as a journalist. Roger was married to the actress Anne Stallybrass from 1963 to 1972 when they divorced. <SEP> Quatermass and the Pit( in the United States, Five Million Years to Earth) is a 1967 British science fiction horror film from Hammer Film Productions, a sequel to the earlier Hammer films" The Quatermass Xperiment" and" Quatermass 2". Like its predecessors, it is based on a BBC Television serial" Quatermass and the Pit", written by Nigel Kneale. James Donald, Barbara Shelley and Julian Glover appear in co-starring roles. The storyline, which is largely faithful to the original television production, centres on the discovery of a mysterious object buried at the site of an extension to the London Underground. Also uncovered nearby are the remains of early human ancestors more than five million years old. Realising that the object is in fact an ancient Martian spacecraft, Quatermass deduces that the aliens have influenced human evolution and the development of human intelligence. The spacecraft has an intelligence of its own, and once uncovered begins to exert a malign influence, resurrecting Martian memories and instincts buried deep within the human psyche. Nigel Kneale wrote the first draft of the screenplay in 1961, but difficulties in attracting interest from American co-financiers meant the film did not go into production until 1967. The director, Roy Ward Baker, was chosen because of his experience with technically demanding productions such as" A Night to Remember"; this was the first of six films that he directed for Hammer. Andrew Keir, playing Quatermass, found making the film an unhappy experience, believing Baker had wanted Kenneth More to play the role. Owing to a lack of space, the film was shot at the MGM studios in Elstree, Borehamwood, rather than Hammer's usual home at the time, which was the Associated British Studios, also in Elstree. The film opened in November 1967 to favourable reviews and remains generally well regarded. It was directed by Roy Ward Baker and stars Andrew Keir in the title role as Professor Bernard Quatermass, replacing Brian Donlevy who played the role in the two earlier films. <SEP> The film is considered to be lost. It is based on a novel by G. A. Henty. A Final Reckoning is a 1928 American Western film serial directed by Ray Taylor. <SEP> Le masque de la Méduse is a 2009 fantasy horror film directed by Jean Rollin. The film is a modern-day telling of the Greek mythological tale of the Gorgon and was inspired by the 1964 classic Hammer Horror film of the same name and the 1981 cult classic" Clash of the Titans". It was Rollin's final film, as the director died in 2010. <SEP> Roy Ward Baker( 19 December 1916 – 5 October 2010), born Roy Horace Baker, was an English film director, credited as Roy Baker for much of his career. His best known film is" A Night to Remember"( 1958) which won a Golden Globe for Best English- Language Foreign Film in 1959. His later career included many horror films and television shows. <SEP> Ray Taylor (1 December 1888 – 15 February 1952) was an American film director. He directed 159 films between 1926 and 1949. His debut was the 1926 film serial "Fighting with Buffalo Bill".
