Sean Rio Flynn in his first movie as an adult!

Jan
I found this news and I thought I post it for all to know!
Sean Flynn – IN LIKE FLYNN: “RETURN OF THE KILLER SHREWS'
CASTS A NEW GENERATION OF HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY
Coal Train Productions and Generic Filmgroup announced today that former
Teen Idol SEAN FLYNN, fresh from his long-running role as Chase on
Nickelodeon's “Zoey 101,” will be co-starring in his first adult role
in “Return of the Killer Shrews.” Flynn's role as Derek will utilize
his comedic skills first honed on the popular Teen TV series and provide added
thrills to his large TV fan base. “Return of the Killer Shrews,” set
on a mysterious island in the gulf of Mexico, places Flynn in a modern-day
horror setting, but with a touch of blood-drenched comic mayhem ala “Shawn
of the Dead” and the slightest flavor of retro Tiki exotica ala the great
Drive-in horror flicks of the 1950s and 1960s. And Flynn even gets a chance to
use his considerable charm, like his famous Grandfather, ERROL FLYNN.
“Return of the Killer Shrews” goes before the cameras in May, with
release scheduled for next year. — This should be 2012 unless somebody has better information than me?
This is the link to the website I found and Sean is speaking in a video contained on this website. Interesting information I thought I share. I wish him all the luck in world to make it big like his grandfather!

Errol’s fourth home! 1919
07
Jan
In mid 1919 Theodor Flynn moved his expecting wife and 10 year old Errol from Holebrook Place to the Imperial Hotel located on Collins Street.
As quoted by Bob Casey, a nurse named Elsie Hinds felt sorry for Errol when he was left alone. She often took him to the wharves to see the ships in port, flying the flags of all nations of the world.
Don Norman wrote, “Elsie remembered Errol standing politely and removing his cap when she stopped to speak with one of her friends.” A maid at the hotel remembered giving Errol money so he could go to the cinema.
It is stated in several publications that Errol had no spending money, was a neglected child but had very good manners. One could take a good guess and see that his pranks most likely have been fueled by being a neglected and abused child and therefore became his way of retaliation.
Another picture of the hotel in the comment section.

TCM is honoring Jack Cardiff this month!
06
Jan
I just saw a fabulous one and an
half
hour documentary of Jack
Cardiff as an
introductory of him being
honored as the star
celebrity of the month.
He
also spoke of Errol, but no mentioning
of the ill-fated
movie of
William
Tell. He was the cinematographer
for 'The Master of
Ballantrae
1953' and 'Crossed Swords 1954', it
must have been during
this
time
that
they became friends as
later
Errol chose him to be his
director
for 'William
Tell', with which
Errol would have given
him
his
first
chance
to direct a movie and
with his
most fabulous cinematography
expertise it
would have been a fantastic
movie. Apparently
and as stated in
the documentary Jack
Cardiff
was
very interested to
direct
movies and as it
looks like Errol maybe saw
the talent in
his
capacity and
wanted
for Jack a start
of
a 'dream
come true'. What a great
pity that it
didn't
fly! Jack, although
went
into directing
from 1960 to 1974 and directed
eight
movies and
was
behind
the camera from
1936 to 2000. He speaks of Errol collapsing
on the set
during
the filming
of 'Crossed Swords' at which
time
the doctors told
him
his
liver is
gone and
he is on his
way
out or so to say. Not Errol –
he came back
with a tumbler
full of Vodka in
his
hand.
We all
have
read
that
Errol was hospitalized in
Naples
for that liver
problem, but
not during what
movie, now we know – it
was
'Crossed Swords'.

Jack'
s movie credits as a cinematographer are incredible!
He worked with
Marlene
Dietrich,
Marilyn
Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine
Hepburn,
Deborah Kerr, Sophia Loren, Ingrid
Bergman, David
Niven,
Humphrey
Bogart,
Kirk Douglas,
Charlton
Heston, James Mason just
to name a few
and of course with our Errol!
Jack
Cardiff
was
quite a man and
to be
admired for his
great contribution
to the movie industry
(if
you are
interested read all about
him jackcardiff.com
and therefore it is
not surprising
that
Hollywood gave him
an honorary Oscar
for his accomplishments. As
we
all know they are quite
stingy
with
them. Apparently and
please correct me if I am
wrong, I am
not up to par with
Oscars, cinematography is
not one of the Oscar
awarding
category
or was not in
his
time.
Whatever
the case he received
one, although late in
his
life,
for serving the movie industry a
lifetime
most outstandingly!
Errol,
would he have lived
to see it
would have been very pleased about it!
