Well, let's what kind of movie will come out and then we'll figure out how much of a loss it was or not to Jason. Some movies I just prefer my favourite actors pass.
I have a feeling Jason can and will move on to something that will work just as well for him or better.

I agree. And now I'm not sure about the film now that it looks like they're giving Zoe Saldana a major role in it. Not to be mistaken, I like her in other films (Star Trek, Avatar, Colombiana), but I think she's hit her saturation point in this genre. I still want to see her in other movies, but not in more Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre films. Maybe it's just me, but if she's also in this I might pass. It would be just like if Christian Bale decided he didn't want to just be Batman, but he's got to be Spiderman, Superman, and Han Solo too.
I remember someone mentioning quite recently in the internet that we didn't get to watch Viggo Mortensen anymore. I was...what do you mean? He has been in dozens of good films after LOTR. They weren't blockbusters, that was all.

I hope so.
I think Viggo is great, now that you mention him. He's got really good versatility, which isn't common in the way that he's versatile. I've got to go look up some of the films he's done because, to be honest, I haven't seen him in much of anything since LOTR, but that's my fault. Any suggestions?

The only non-blockbuster movies I've heard of Zoe being in is an upcoming Nina Simone biopic, which she's already caught some flack for, and a movie she did with her current boyfriend. Can't think of his name right now, but he was in the Hangover movies. Other than that, I think she's been doing the big stuff, and maybe that's the issue.

I know saying that films are violent ( some people like it) or depressing doesn't sound like a very enticing recommendation, but as I am not sure how old are the posters, I thought I should add a warning.
None of these are easily watched but they are, however, perfectly worthy of your time.
These are the IMDb pages...
A History of Violence
The Road
Eastern Promises
Good
How this ties to the the thread: This is what I hoped it would happen to Jason: good roles, complex story lines, etc. I have nothing against blockbusters, there are some that are my favourites but lately, most of them are a lot of SFx with no story, no characters and a lot of hype.
I still think people tell the story: silly me.sigpic

Originally posted by JadedWraith View PostWell, a lot of what he has done is not for weak stomachs but I'd go with an History of Violence ( yes, very violent, in many ways!!!) and Eastern Promises. I haven'te watched yet THE Road but my dad did, and he like it (very depressive, I think...) and my sister loved Good.

I do hope Jason gets the opportunity to really play a character that utilizes all of his skills and pushes his boundaries in acting. That would be great. I don't want him to fall into roles where he just plays "the muscle," which unfortunately is what happened some with SGA.

Wow, what a lovely surprise to find a link to the trailer for Road to Paloma. I didn't realize Lisa was in the film so it was a nice surprise to see her appear on screen. I am thinking we will all have some lovely Jason screen caps to drool over once this show airs!
Oh, and I second The Road as a great movie to watch!sigpic
Thank you to mrscopterdoc for my Ronon sig
