A new project for Jason?

Sounds like a really great role for him. Thanks Angel. Maybe during Awake hiatus?

Lots of TV actors manage to squeeze in a movie between seasons of their TV series. Jason said he likes to work hard so he'll get his wish. And it's back home in England. That he'll also like.

Not a fan of Ron Perlman. Won't stop me from seeing this, tho'.

It looks different from his usual roles - hope it gets made.

Is this the first time we've seen a "Jason to STAR" headline or a film, rather than the usual 'Signed up for/ to appear in' report?

I think he may have arrived... *g*

not sure inamac, but I think you are correct...great to see him as the 'star', and not a smaller role :hands

It's about time he was recognized as the "star". It's long overdue.

Sounds like an intense film, but...

I found these:

http://www.youtube.com/user/stephensfil ... 84OSZSlyZw

http://www.facebook.com/TheOperative

http://twitter.com/#!/Stephensfilm


Have they tried to make this before and was stopped because of money or something? Wierd... http://www.movieposterdb.com/movie/1265 ... -Dawn.html

I don't know what to make of it yet... Facebook wall says they started approaching JI/ agent about a week ago, but I think it's pretty quick to just settle it... Maybe they have sent him the script and hope for the best? (I have an odd feeling but it may be nothing).

Found this too... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2555075/ No merit as a movie maker just acting in things I've never heard of (except PoTC but it looks like he was an extra there).

Edit: I have tried to read what this is about, and I think it sounds kind of lame... Why would he be leading the operation after his family was murdered?! Sorry, I'll stop being negative now... :oops: :oops:

After reading over the links I agree with you ladies that something is not right. The Facebook entry mentions a release date of 2012 but not a mention of Jason in the cast.
I withdraw my comments until more info is available. This wouldn't be the first bum steer we've gotten.
Does sound good though.

Glad it's not just me. I just read this guy's (Richard Stephens) biography on IMDB and it's hilarious... doesn't at all compare to his filmography (did he write that himself?) "Handsome Rick". ::rofl

Can I just make myself an IMDB page if I want one?

Hope JI hasn't signed anything...

You and me both Thunder ..... that guys idea of an "All Star" cast leaves a lot to be desired (except for JI of course!)
