Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on September 23, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Alex Proyas! May your special day be as mysteriously captivating and delightfully dark as the worlds you've created. From guiding us through shadowy streets in *The Crow* to bending reality with mind-bending brilliance in *Dark City*, you’ve shown that darkness can indeed illuminate our imaginations.

Here's hoping this year brings even more cinematic magic—perhaps another masterpiece that'll keep audiences questioning their realities for decades to come. Celebrate boldly, but remember: if candles flicker ominously or shadows dance suspiciously at your party tonight... well, we know exactly who directed it!

Cheers to many more years of visionary storytelling!
