Albert Pyun Cause of Death

Albert Pyun, a genre filmmaker whose work includes cult classics like “Cyborg,” “The Sword and the Sorcerer,” “Nemesis,” and the 1989 “Captain America,” died Saturday, on November 26, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nev. He was 69 years old at the time.

Pyun was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and dementia. Cynthia Curnan, his wife and producer, had been providing regular updates on his condition in recent months.

She recently urged fans to send personal messages to the director as his health deteriorated.

Cynthia Curnan confirmed Pyun’s death on Facebook, writing, “I sat with him for his last breath, which sounded like he was letting go of the weight of the world.”

Pyun created an immersive style of dreamy lighting, post-apocalyptic dilapidation, and surreal, balletic action that has gained a devoted following among genre filmgoers over the years.

Pyun collaborated with a veritable who’s who of action icons, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Christopher Lambert, and Burt Reynolds.

Pyun had been working on two unfinished features before his death, hoping to rework them into a six-part TV series, according to his wife. “Failure was never an option for Albert,” she wrote.
