second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
Just over two weeks to go until our

episode eight. Some journalists and bloggers received screeners of the first

this season is looking awesome, trust us — things are building. Beyond our
amazing core cast, some returning actors to look forward to include
Dean Winters, Sonya Walger, Jonathan Jackson, and more.

Sorry for the break in between
news but I was on vacation :-) - just for a little shout-out and information: I
have checked my affiliates and made some changes...and thanks to Allie I now
have some absolutely stunning new link banners for my site!!!
- Yay! enation are back in the studio
to record a new album :-)
Over the last few years we have grown
significantly as a band, learning more every day about who we are and what
we have to say. Some of the songs that are your favorites have been ours as
well, and over time the songs have grown with us.
We feel like we are still at the beginning of our journey as band, and for
those of you who have already been with us, you have the opportunity to go
on this journey with us. There is still a whole world of people who are yet
to hear our songs, and we want to give you, and them the best possible
representation of who we are.
We have decided to take the songs that have best defined us in the last two
independent albums and put them together, adding to them, restructuring and
re-recording them. Many of our songs are epic in their theme and scope, and
we feel we have found more and more of their full potential through playing
them live. We want to capture that and have them with us as we grow and
expand. Having the songs upgraded with us is the best way to give them their
full due, both for us creatively and for you guys too.
There will also be three completely new songs on the record – each of them
we are really excited about. They seem to capture where we are right now
playing to the max of who we are.

- Regarding the rumor I posted in the March
16 news....unfortunately. it's not true.
[Thanks
Amber for the info!]
- Great news btw about enation's
updated song "Feel This" - it climbed to the number 16 spot on the
iTunes rock charts!!!! Great work everyone :-)
- Jonathan's new - still untitled - movie
found a distributor who also
set up a website with this info:
After getting out of a long relationship
and returning to his hometown, Billy Klepack comes to realize there's
something not quite right with his best friend, Stan. Seemingly emotionless
and flatly unstable, something seems to have changed Stan at the very core.
He has committed an unforgivable act that has caused an irreversible shift
inside him. Billy notices this immediately and digs deep into Stan's recent
activities, uncovering what he has done and deeply embedding himself in the
whole situation. As things progress, Billy comes to find that Stan's actions
will affect him on a painfully permanent level.

- Another short blib about enation's
song in tonight's One Tree Hill season 5 finale:
Enation’s music will be heard by millions tonight when Bethany Joy
Galeotti, an actress on the CW Television Network series “One Tree Hill,”
closes the season finale by singing the Battle Ground band’s “Feel This.”
The song is from Enation’s “Identity Theft” album. Since the exposure on
“One Tree Hill” is likely to stir up interest in Enation, the band is making
the single available on iTunes immediately after the show airs.
There’s a family connection between the actress and the band. Galeotti is
married to Michael Galeotti, keyboardist for Enation. But the band also has
its own collection of celebrities.
Among Enation’s members are brothers Richard and Jonathan Jackson, who have
active acting careers. Jonathan Jackson, who starred in the movies
“Insomnia” and “Tuck Everlasting,” was in Virginia last week working on the
independent film “Fistpie.”

- There have been some tiny news regarding
Jonathan's new movie.
Someone blogged about the filming:
They are filming a movie in Fairfax. I’m not really sure who “they”
are—but we were assured that it is a “real” film for the theaters and not a
George Mason University project of some kind. It is all very hush-hush; no
one would tell us what the movie was about even when Aneliz turned up the
sugar and worked a poor geeky set-hand like he was Father Christmas.
They did let us wander the blocked-off set (Main Street, North Streets, and
University Drive) and ogle at the vans, light fixtures, giant screens, and
bagel trays. We were ready to give up on the mystery when we located a
chatty young security guard who gave us the following information: it is a
Hollywood based film group, the movie is an untitled thriller-drama, some
dude from General Hospital is in it, and one of the lines in the script is
“Go back to Manassas, you dirty whore!”
Really, who needs more information than that?

Capricious Scrawl]
- And here is a
very short article about the director and the movie, with a little
shout-out to Jonathan
- Great news about enation as well!
First of all, their song "Feel this" will be featured in the season finale
of One Tree Hill tomorrow!!!! As we all know, keyboardist Michael
Galeotti's wife Bethany plays one of the leads in the series and she will
perform the song onscreen (with enation as back up, though probably
not onscreen...)!!! The new song will also be available for download and to
buy on
CDBABY after the show airs!
- The other news is that enation will
again perform live at the Whisky-A-Go-Go on May 31 at 11 pm!!! Hope you guys
can be there and enjoy enation live!!!! Check
enation's homepage for more
information!

According to the IMDb,
Jonathan landed a new movie, the Untitled
James Hausler Project! It started shooting April 27 in and around
Washington, DC. - he
plays Stanley Keller, the best friend of Billy [who will be played by Nick
Stahl]. The premise of this thriller reads as follows: "After a
recent breakup, Billy returns to his hometown to find something is not quite
right with his best friend."
Check also the MySpace
site of the project for current updates!
Here are some scans to the SID article
about the latest concert gig which was attended by former TV dad Tony Geary
as well as others - page
1, page 2
Josh Friedman, producer of the Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series, gave an interview and also talked
about Jonathan as Kyle Reese:
IGN TV: It seemed by casting Jonathan
Jackson as Kyle Reese that we might see him again. I mean, he is
"Tuck Everlasting" after all. How many episodes are you planning
to do that involve that future?
Friedman: I don't know how many. That episode was "The Future
Episode" and we knew we had all this stuff to do. And other times we'll
just be doing little flashes and we won't be doing the whole thing. A little
bunker here, some night time here, and it's less of a commitment. I love him
and I think he did a really good job. It was one of the last things I did
before I went on strike. It was a day or two before we went on strike that I
cast him. It was very nerve-wracking because I knew we needed someone
special for the part and I was leaving in a couple of days. Casting is a bit
like looking for your car keys. They're lost, they're lost, they're lost and
"Oh, there they are!" It's almost a binary state. Sometimes you
might have three or four great ones when you're trying to figure out your
own take on the character, but most times it just presents itself to you.
The cast we have, the person we have was absolutely the person I wanted and
it was very obvious to me that that's who it would be.

Not really news per se, but
Jonathan has been mentioned in the press / web universe and then there are some
news which might concern him later on:
- Blogger
Angeleno has posted pictures from the CUT!2008 event which Jonathan
attended with his band mates (and apparently enation also played
the MINT VIP Party!)
- Another blog - this time General Hospital
Fans - had someone report from the concert at the Whisky-a-Go-Go on
April 4 - click
this link to read a recap and to also find out who attended the concert!
[Minor Spoiler Alert for GH!]
- The soap magazine ABC
Soaps in Depth has asked current and former GH actors about their most
memorable moment on the soap - due to the 45th anniversary of GH - here is
Jonathan's reply:
"My most memorable moment on GH was meeting [my wife] Lisa. Second to that
was watching Tony do a three page monologue and just getting to listen and
receive. Genie's laughter at some of the spontaneous moments that would happen.
There are too many to count but those are the first ones to stand out."
[source: ABC
Soaps in Depth, current issue]
The website TVSquad
has posted a list of "Ten actors who helped make General Hospital shine"
- and guess what? Jonathan is on it!
"Like Amber Tamblyn, Jonathan
Jackson grew up before our eyes on General
Hospital. Unlike Amber, though, Jonathan came onto the show with huge
expectations thrust upon him. He was Luke and Laura's son, Lucas Lorenz
Spencer, Jr. -- Lucky. He had to be up to speed in scene with Genie Francis
and Anthony Geary, a wise beyond his years ten year-old who knew how to get
cross-country on his own when he parents were being pursued by mob king
Frank Smith. Jonathan was perfect right out of the gate; he looked, sounded
and acted like he'd be Luke's kid. He was sensitive like Laura, too, not
just a smart ass kid. In six years on the show, Jonathan made Lucky his own.
He won three Daytime Emmys for his performances as Lucky, and he's still the
real Lucky to many people, even though two other actors have subsequently
played the part.
[source: TV
Squad]
The slightly OT news is
in regards to the TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
where Jonathan guest-starred on recently: The series has been RENEWED! Which
means, since Jonathan has already commented on this, that there is a
distinct possibility of Jonathan returning! Yay :-)

10 april 2008

- Someone posted pictures from
the
CUT!2008
convention here
it features Jonathan and the rest of the guys from enation
- A little off-topic but
Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of Deep End of the Ocean, is currently
writing a sequel called Starry Night - this is what it will be about:
It's the story of Vincent, the eldest
son, who films a documentary thirteen years after his brother's abduction
that forces the Cappadoras to face who they are behind their lovely facade
and of how Ben, the son kidnapped in the first novel, must find his lost
mother, Beth, as she once found him.

Sorry for the delay in bringing
you news...I was mostly either on vacation or on business trips. And I'm
currently living at my parents' home since I'm cat-sitting...anyway.
Apparently, Jonathan and
Lisa are expecting their third (!) child!!! The new baby would join almost
5-year-old Caleb and 3 1/2 year-old Adora. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! If true
:-)
[source: Celebrity
Baby Blog] NOT TRUE.
- Jonathan also hopes (as do I
btw) that Terminator: The
Sarah Connor Chronicles gets a second season since it would mean he gets
to stay as a recurring character!!!
Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger's
character in the original "Terminator" movies, Battle Ground actor
Jonathan Jackson hopes to say "I'll be back" - for more shows,
that is. Jackson had a featured role in an episode of "Terminator: The
Sarah Connor Chronicles" that aired two weeks ago on Fox. It was the
season finale, but Jackson said he expects to be called back to the set if
Fox renews the series.
He signed a contract for the recurring role of Kyle Reese, the father of
John Connor, the young hero in the movie series.

couple for an extended period of time,” Bethany Joy said. Michael grew up
in Clark County and graduated from Battle Ground High School. He met Bethany
Joy in Los Angeles through friends, Richard Lee Jackson and Jonathan
Jackson. Michael and the Jackson brothers are members of the band Enation.
