camera in the future.

In an interview in the June issue of RG Magazine, the star of "Die Hard With A Vengeance'', "Eve's Bayou'' and "A Time To Kill'', tells writer John Burchall he wants to direct movies with a message to counter-act the one-dimensional mass entertainment films Hollywood churns out.

Jackson, who will be in Bermuda next week for his second annual Celebrity Golf Classic, tells RG: "I am convinced that there is a market out there for other types of stories which could be as exciting and as entertaining as "Die Hard''.

Stories about homelessness are an example. Many people just pass them by but I am convinced that we need to get involved in films and other activities that bring about social change.'' Jackson is featured on the cover of the June issue, available free with tomorrow's edition of The Royal Gazette .

June's issue also sees the first of a new annual RG feature, Living History, in which the magazine highlights people and projects that aim to preserve the past in a modern context.

Writer Nancy Acton talks at length to architects and planners about what defines traditional Bermudian architecture and the problems in reproducing it for today's lifestyles; Dr. Edward Harris, director of the Bermuda Maritime Museum talks about the importance of architectural heritage; Patricia Calnan profiles Margaret Smith, Bermuda's only fine arts restorer; and also in the spotlight are four people dedicated to preserving traditional skills and knowledge for future generations.

And on the eve of the next General Election, John Burchall talks to Premier Pamela Gordon, Opposition Leader Jennifer Smith and eight other current and former MPs about the events that shaped their political awareness and asks just how far apart are today's politicians when it comes to the basic issues that affect Bermuda.

Also in June's issue, RG chef Joe Gibbons gets cooking with Bermuda products and travel takes a trip to Buenos Aires.

It's all in June's RG and it's only available with tomorrow's Royal Gazette -- don't forget to pick up your copy!
