We’re getting into summer blockbuster season - Hancock, The Incredible Hulk, WALL-E, Get Smart (which I am so excited for), The Love Guru, The Dark Knight - there are definitely a lot of options.

“But Luke, Craig and definitely myself - we’re all up for it.

Made famous by Hollywood hit film “The Sound of Music” the former home of the von Trapp family is being turned into a hotel. The hotel is to be named “The Villa Trapp hotel” and visitors to the hotel will be able to sleep in the family’s former bedrooms or get married in the chapel. The hotel and surrounding park just outside Salzburg, Austria, will open to the public in July and will cost around 100 euros (£80) a night.
The von Trapp family lived in the house from 1923 before fleeing the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938. In 1956 the true story of Maria, the aspiring Nun who sang her way into the hearts of Baron von Trapp and his seven children was made into a movie based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, it starred Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
At least it is going to be made into something that people can use for years to come that fans of the film can visit, unlike quite a lot of the set used in the movie “Dirty Dancing” which was flattened to make way for a golf course apparently.
Oh My God!! I loved the film “Lost Boys” which was made in 1987 and starred Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, and Corey Feldman, and now they have finally made a sequel “Lost Boys 2: The Tribe”, directed by P.J. Pesce and featuring……yes, you guessed it……Corey Feldman, Corey Haim. I love it when films keep the same actors. Lets hope it’s as good as the original.

The plot of ‘Rambo’ follows a group of Christian aid workers who recruit John Rambo to guide them up Southeast Asia’s Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the oppressed Karen tribe. When the missionaries fail to return from Burma, the aging Vietnam vet leads a team of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to rescue them.
Whilst making the film Sylvester and the crew also recieved death threats.
They were filming on the Thai-Burmese border, when he and the crew received a series of chilling warnings.
Speaking at the film’s UK premiere, he said:
“Yes, (we) got them all the time - it’s a very dangerous part of the world. A lot of people do disappear and you know they didn’t want this film to be made.
The civil wars have been going on for 60 years and no one knows about it because they pay a fortune to keep it quiet.”
Below is a video of Sylvester at the premiere of Rambo at Planet Hollywood.
