rumours that hollywood team due in town to assess hua hin for blockbuster
hua hin, THAILAND Strong rumours have been circulating in the movie world that Thailand, and specifically Bangkok and Hua Hin, are on the verge of being selected as the backdrops to the next instalment in the Mission: Impossible movie series. Following the spectacular fourth movie, Ghost Protocol, set largely in Moscow and Dubai, it’s success has already prompted the studio to confirm a fifth project, and the storyline that has been leaked certainly seems suited to the Land Of Smiles, involving a threat to a Royal Family, a chase scene through a crowd at a beach jazz festival, a thrilling escape from a flooding underground car park, a spectacular action scene set on a raised railway in a city and another on a construction site. Characters identified in the story are Squealer, a British expat who gets embroiled in the murky world of drug smuggling and people trafficking, Kilty, an undercover reporter who is in danger because of his fearless exposures of criminals, an unnamed (as yet) property developer whose unsavoury past is catching up with him, and a Chinese Triad gang acting on the orders of a disgraced former politician exiled from his country. The project of course hinges on whether the star of the previous four movies, Tom Cruise, agrees to make the fifth instalment; however, it may also depend on how the Thai authorities feel the movie would depict the country if they decide to film here. Another fly in the ointment could be the fact that no one knows if there ever will be another jazz festival on the beach here, which may help decide the title of the prospective blockbuster; ‘Mission: Impossible - Hua Hin Jazz Festival?’.
