Box Office Guru Preview: Star Trek Opens Fire on Wolverine
For the first time in four years the second weekend of May will see a new release debut in the number one spot as Paramount boldly re-energizes one of its oldest franchises with the new Star Trek which aims to topple last weekend's champ X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The frame's only other new title, the comedy Next Day Air, gets a much more subdued launch and will find itself much lower on the charts. The battling action tentpoles should lead the North American box office to a solid win over last year's comparable session helping the summer continue its red hot start.

Exclusive: Lesbian Vampire Killers - RT on Set
There are a few things that you want to do in life," says James Corden. "Work with Mathew Horne, kiss Harry Potter, and make films about lesbian vampires." His work with Horne is well documented in the critically-acclaimed Gavin & Stacey, and his encounter with Potter star Daniel Radcliffe on stage at last year's Whatsonstage Theatre Awards is all over the web. RT has travelled to 3 Mills Studio in the east end of London to watch him, and Horne, get to grips with that third ambition on the set of Lesbian Vampire Killers. On a soundstage at the back of the lot we're in an overgrown forest locale, replete with vines choking stone sarcophagi, which are strewn about the site like they've grown wild. With us, amongst the workmen and technicians that usually populate a film set, are 12-15 women dressed so scantily in semi-transparent silk that they may as well be naked.

Summer's always great for a handful of big, fun movies, but Spring of 2007 looks to be shaping up into something pretty special.
