And with it comes a whole bunch of stuff to ensure the silver screen sizzles as hot as the summer sun. The first big news for Chapel Hill is the long-awaited arrival at the Varsity of Telle the Conqueror," the Danish film starring Max von Sydow that won Best Foreign Rim at last month's Oscars. "PeUe" is due to arrive next week, along with "High Hopes," a social satire directed by British screenwriter MSke Leigh ("Abigail's Party). Other than that, Memorial Day will kick off what most likely promises to be the movies' biggest summer ever. Sequels, most of them made by and starring their original crew, will undoubtedly be the most successful: "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (Harrison Ford plus Sean Connery and River Phoenix); "Star Trek v.- The Final Frontier;" "Chostbusters ll" "Lethal weapon li" and the umpteenth James Bond adventure, "License to WIL" Other than that, the films you wont be able to miss include an undersea shocker called "The Abyss," the latest thriller from James Cameron, director of "The Terminator and "Aliens." Tim "Beetlejulce" Burton directs MfctedKeatonartiJackf&to in "Batman." Ridley Scott rASen") directs Michael Douglas In "C&k Rain." Sp2ce Lee's latest effort, "Do the Right Thing" is due next month. And finely, the British film given an X rating prior, to its US re&ase - an award the distribu tors hope to change by cutting a SO-second orgy scene - "Scandal" is the true story of a sex scandal that claimed a few of Her Majes ty's government's careers In the 60s and stars John Hurt All stuff I? 09 I 1 ESS??
