Re: Passionada
Have not viewed the extra's yet but considering the it was made on a small budget actually looks amazing.

Re: Passionada
The way Jason described getting the role in the TikTok chat, he did it as a favor to a friend. And didn’t he take over the role after someone else was fired? Maybe I remember it wrong.
It’s not a good movie, I think, but it’s weirdly enjoyable.

I also just noticed that the actor Tom Kemp who played Marty Trio in Brotherhood was the bartender in Pasionada.

Re: Passionada
That was his bedroom, as far as I know. He as done other interviews in there during lock down as well. I have never seen any pictures of him skate boardng as a teenager, but there was a photo shoot he did a couple of years back: https://jenniferrocholl.com/famous/g2k1 ... wfgjuwrmha Looks like he still knows how to do it.

I don't know. I've seen pictures of him with a guitar, but don't know how well he plays it.

Re: Passionada
Can't recall if it's mentioned here--or if anyone's interested!--but the actor JI replaced was David O'Hara. I haven't paid that much attention to his career, but he's been impressive in plenty of stuff... I think he would have been wildly miscast in this, though.
(So I wonder if the wig was originally fitted to him??)

Boo! Let me try it without the URL code, and you can try copy-and-pasting it. The link works for me; if it persists in noncompliance, I'm gonna guess it's a transnational access issue.

Re: Passionada
I think I remember Jason said it was fitted to the previous actor and they cut it a bit for Jason - winding up with a perfectly awful hair creature on his head. I liked Passionada for the location, and the Fada music, but the sound track was awful. Jason’s and many of the actors and actresses had wonderful performances - but it was very low budget. Still it is on my I’d watch again list.

Re: Passionada
Assembling in New Bedford for the premiere was my first Lost Girls pilgrimage, and it was amazing despite his absence! (There aren't actually very many hotels in NB, and we ended up staying in the same one as Seymour Cassell... I also remember seeing Gov. Michael Dukakis at the afterparty, which was a little surreal. As was the size of his head!!) That whole experience is inseparable for me from any intrinsic qualities of the film, and I will always love it.

Re: Passionada
I still think we have one premier left in us!
I had met Gov Dukakis before - he swore me into my University’s Board of Governors as a Student Representative. My greatest memory was at The Feast of the Blessed Virgin around the meat pit! Hahaha
But the Gala in the old Bank Building was a lot of fun!
Look at how many events we have been to since then - amazing!

Re: Passionada
Anniemouse, I realize that a lot of my posts to you read as "Oh I did this and I went there and Jason Isaacs and I are best friends" and I'm sorry for sounding like that! Some of these folk got a lot of history under our belts, and your reviewing older projects has prompted some reminiscing that I'm probably enjoying more than you are.
When we embarked on this, this kind of forum was practically the only way to find information about JI or his projects--there wasn't any Wikipedia, there wasn't any IMDb, there wasn't even any Google. These days you can see what Himself is up to day-to-day by following his Twitter or Insta--but the good news is you also have a fair shot of catching him at a Comic Con, and those have been known to happen in the UK!
