Jason's new film project - Searching for Sonny

[Emerald]

The time left is now being measured in hours rather than days: 66 hours and counting.

The donations are still coming in, which is fabulous.

Current total: $11,165

Number of backers: 107


It's still not too late to pledge (at least) $5 and get access to an exclusive, never-to-be-seen-again video.

Do you think it's possible for them to take out the money someone's pledged now, instead of waiting right 'til the deadline? I was really hoping to be able to just sneak in under the radar before all the mortgage/interest/direct debit bill payments etc went through on my card, but it hasn't quite happened that way. I've got just over $35 dollars left, part of which I need for food, and if anything else besides the S4S pledge, and that goes through, I am screwed.

Maybe I'll just have to cross my fingers, and hope for the best.

Yay! Can't wait to see the film, and also our "'surprise" swag!

And I've been meaning to say, while I'm not really a Jason gal (in the way y'all are ), I find him just adorable in that pizza t-shirt pic! Don't know what it is about that pic (there are certainly "dreamier" pics of him), but I just want to give him a big hug when I see that one.

YAY!!!!

HotMicks, I didn't become a huuuuge Jason fan till I met him. But after that I was a fan for life.

Hi HM!

To build on what Alle has said here... I think it's incredibly difficult to appreciate what an amazing actor Jason really is until you meet him. When you can sit next to this man and suddenly realize that there is not a trace of Josef, or Logan Echolls (or just about any other character he's ever played) there, that's when it really hits you. Sure, there are bits of Jason in every role he plays -- a twinkle of the eye, an impish grin, an incredible intensity -- but he is so unlike the characters he's best known for, it's really quite disarming. It's almost impossible not to be a fan of the actor once you've met the man.


And, yes, I love the pizza shirt too.



Even though it's between scenes, you do get a sense of the not-so-happy, down-on-his-luck guy there.

And since this offer has expired, I'm going to go ahead and merge this into the main "Searching for Sonny" thread...
