The #DontKillSeanBean billboards began appearing at Comic-Con, and Bean posed for photos in a #DontKillSeanBean t-shirt–and now Funny Or Die is in on the act with Bean himself starring in a behind-the-scenes video from the set of Legends in which he tries to convince the director that just maybe he ought to have a heart attack when he checks his email, or maybe his drink ought to be laced with organ-devouring acid. Its funny, sure, but it also kills the surprise a little bit any time you watch a Sean Bean movie, you kinda know hes gonna go. Building a campaign around a #DontKillSeanBean hashtag is perhaps a surprisingly meta and vaguely campy way to promote a heavy-sounding show that deals with dark themes, but it is considerate of the network to take into account that Bean’s fans are conditioned to expect him to meet a gruesome end pretty much every time he shows up on their screen, and to mitigate those concerns.

Look, lets face it: Sean Bean would be that poor redshirt who would be reported dead as a footnote in the captains log. After Being Killed 23 Times Sean Bean Refuses To Die On Screen Again By Rejecting Some Roles.
