| 2023-03-29 - 7:14 am - Happy Birthday Terence Hill! |
 |
We congratulate acting legend Terence Hill to his 84th birthday today and wish him much happiness, success, fun and of course continued health for the coming years! We are looking forward to the new movie he wants to shoot this year and hope very much that there will soon be an opportunity to meet him in person, because he is not only a great actor, but first and foremost a great person! All the best, Terence!
In honor of his birthday, the Bud Spencer Museum in Berlin will unveil a new life-like figure today featuring Terence Hill in his longest-running role as Don Matteo. Berlin-based artist Lisa Büscher hand-sculpted the lifelike figure out of silicone, recreating the original down to the smallest detail with tens of thousands of manually placed hairs. |

| 2023-03-17 - 6:30 pm - New Western: Terence Hill returns as Trinity! |
Today, an interview with Terence Hill was published in the Italian weekly newspaper "7", which belongs to the "Corriere della sera". In this interview Terence Hill talks about his next film. He has already said that the next film will be a western. Now he is giving more details.
The film will be a Trinity film, i.e. Terence Hill will return to his role as Trinity! The international working title of the film is "Trinity, the Nun and the Gun".
Regarding the titular nun, he says: "I didn't want to do another western. I thought it was pointless, I had already done everything and couldn't do it better. But then I found a book with the true story of an Italian nun who emigrated with her peasant and very poor family from the Ligurian hinterland to America at the end of the 19th century. From Cincinnati she decided to go west alone. The nun in the film is called Blandina, her real name was Rosa Maria Segale."
The gun in the title refers to Billy, the Kid because the nun Blandina actually met Billy the Kid in her life. In the film, she will do the same and Trinity and Billy, the Kid will also meet.
On the progress of the project, he says: "We've been working on the script for 18 months, as usual with various difficulties. I hope to go for shooting to Abruzzo in the summer. I'm also directing my own spaghetti western of Trinity."

| 2023-02-14 - 7:31 pm - Exactly 50 years ago, Joe Bugner first fought Ali |
 |
Exactly 50 years ago today, British heavyweight boxer Joe Bugner - later Bud Spencer's adversary in films like I'm for the hippopotamus, They called him Bulldozer, The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid and Buddy goes West - fought boxing legend Muhammad Ali in Las Vegas. The fight electrified boxing fans at the time. Ali, who was favoured, only prevailed on points in the end.
The anniversary of this fight prompted the British Sun to contact Bugner in Australia, where he has lived for many years. The attempt to contact him failed, but they did reach his eldest son Joe, Jr. He told the paper that his father was suffering badly from dementia and could not remember anything about his boxing career. During a visit at Christmas time, he himself was not even recognised and, moreover, his father claimed to expect his wife Marlene back from shopping soon. Marlene, however, died more than a year ago. Physically, Bugner is still in top shape and looks much younger than his almost 73 years. Furthermore, his son reports that he had thought about bringing his father back to England, but his carers had strongly advised against taking him out of his familiar environment. Despite this sad news, Joe Jr. is keen to let people know that his father is not unhappy. He lives in his own world, in luxurious accommodation where the staff take excellent care of him.
