  • It was a whirlwind of a day in Philadelphia! 

If you would’ve told me back in the day that I’d meet Marty McFly, Robocop, and Optimus Prime on the same day, I wouldn’t have believed you. 🤯 … but it happened! 

I’m forever grateful for my always adventurous @kt_bear5 for making this one happen! ⚡️ Gonna take her to the “Enchantment Under The Sea” dance. #philadelphia #michaeljfox #michaeljfoxfoundation #backtothefuture #1985 #movies #80sclassic
  • If you've lived on @maryland Eastern Shore as long as I have, you know that every so often, Hollywood comes calling. Every time that happens, you inevitably hear about the films that have used our area as a backdrop to tell their stories (Silent Fall, The Wedding Crashers, Failure To Launch, and so on). The oldest project was shot in St. Michaels, Maryland, almost 100 years ago. This "lost film" was something that was always kicking around in the back of my mind.

Directed by Rowland V. Lee, "The First Kiss" is a romantic drama that stars silver screen legends Fay Wray and Gary Cooper that Paramount Pictures released in 1928. 

It's no secret that Fay Wray was "quite a looker," but she wouldn't become the object of King Kong's affection a few years later in 1933!

There was quite a bit of local lore regarding this project. One of the legends claims that Fay Wray accidentally fell overboard while shooting a scene on a boat in the Chesapeake Bay with Gary Cooper. Rumor has it that Cooper dove in and pulled her out.

A few years back, I stumbled across a photo of Fay Wray shot in downtown @stmichaelsmd while they were making the film. The image sat on my desktop for ages but was one I would always come back to. 

Thankfully, St. Michaels is one of those rare towns that has retained its original charm, and most buildings remain true to their original look and feel. So, recently I hit the street to find the area where the photo was shot. After a bit of detective work and some time cruising the streets (both in person and with the help of Google Street View), I found it!

I discovered the spot was just feet from Sweetheart Bridge. It blew me away to see that Fay Wray was standing in front of what is now the @victorianainn on Cherry Street, which overlooks the harbor. It’s a gorgeous B&B, so give them a follow! 🫖

It was an incredible experience to connect with cinema and the Eastern Shore's rich history in such a unique way. Be sure to take a look around next time you are in town! You never know what you might discover. @visitmaryland

  • This week we had the pleasure of connecting with a legend! — Chael Sonnen is a force to be reckoned with. He's one of those rare individuals that can't be put into a box and continues to push his creative limits. Legendary UFC fighter, commentator, accomplished author, and undisputed champ on social media — He has continued to blaze his own unique trail fearlessly. In 2023, he's taken on one of his biggest challenges as he makes the film to the silver screen in director Asif Akbar's 'Mojave Diamonds.' This intense action-thriller teams Sonnen with UFC superstars Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and the always intriguing Weston Cage Coppola. Most importantly, this project kicks open the door to a world of new possibilities as Chael pens the next exciting chapter in The Book of Sonnen! Icon Vs. Icon's Jason Price recently went a few rounds with Chael Sonnen to get an inside look at his hard-hitting film debut in 'Mojave Diamonds.' Get the scoop on making the film straight from "The Bad Guy" himself, and check out the film on Digital, On Demand, and DVD on May 30, 2023.
