Thanks for that, possibly my favourite movie.
Most of the cast long dead, and Dekker choosing this one to bow out on.
I think in addition to those attending, Jaime Sánchez is still around.
Really must stop being surprised every time I hear Ernest Borgnine is
still alive.

Hi Gang,
I just came across this item that was sent to me. There is to be a
40th Anniversary tribute to "The Wild Bunch". Here is the info I
received:
The Wild Bunch 40th Anniversary Celebration, with Ernest Borgnine,
More in Person
Jules Verne Adventures presents the 40th anniversary screening of
Sam Peckinpah's classic Western The Wild Bunch, the thrilling story
of a band of outlaws making a desperate stand against the march of
progress. The screening will feature an award presentation to Sharon
Peckinpah, and actors Ernest Borgnine, Bo Hopkins, L.Q. Jones, and
Paul Harper, plus a video tribute to legendary actor Borgnine and a
screening of 1996's Oscar-nominated documentary short The Wild
Bunch: An Album in Montage.

Outlaws on the Mexican-U.S. frontier face the march of progress, the
Mexican army and a gang of bounty hunters led by a former member
while they plan a robbery of a U.S. army train. No one is innocent
in this gritty tale of of desperation against changing times. Pump
shotguns, machine guns and automobiles mix with horses and
winchesters as we witness the end of an era, and the sundown of
western’s golden age in an operatic grand finale.
The Jules Verne Festival proudly announces the once in a life-time
event: The Wild Bunch is Loose Again, with live on stage iconic
Academy Award Winner Ernest Borgnine who starred in 1969 in Sam
Peckinpah’s incredible movie along with William Holden, Robert Ryan,
Bo Hopkins and L.Q. Jones.
The most haunting and powerful western of all time, which uses
intricate, multi-angle editing, normal and slow motion images,
revolutionized cinema arts and technique. It returns to the big
screen for its 40th anniversary, with a spectacular 35mm director's
cut pristine print presentation on the stage of the amazing Million
Dollar Theatre.
Sam Peckinpah’s family, movie historians, and real cowboys are to
join this special Jules Verne Legendaire Award screening. For Jean-
Christophe Jeauffre and Frédéric Dieudonné, creators of the Jules
Verne Festival, “It will be, for sure, the last great ride of the
movie, with main cast attending. We wish to offer Peckinpah’s
masterpiece a worthy celebration and give over 2,000 people the
opportunity to fall in love at first sight with this movie—or even
fall in love again.”
Legendary star Ernest Borgnine (92) (Poseidon Adventure, Marty, From
Here to Eternity…) is now one of the few golden age Hollywood stars,
along with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis. He just received an Emmy
Award nomination for his guest appearance in ER. He never stops
working after starring in over 100 movies, one of which won him an
Academy Award for best actor (Marty, 1955).
*****Thought it might be of interest to some.
