Johnathon
is currrently in Canada filming "Angels Fall"  a Lifetime original movie based on Nora Roberts' best-selling suspense romance novel starring opposite Heather Locklear.  This is the third of four adaptations of books by Roberts that Lifetime plans to run back-to-back on Monday nights in February.
"Angels Fall" centers on Reese Gilmore (Locklear), a chef who is reeling from a shooting spree at her Boston restaurant that left her as the sole survivor. She is slowly starting to put her life back together when she takes a job at a restaurant in Angel's Fist, Wyo., and gets to know the residents of the town, including Brody (Schaech), an annoyingly stubborn yet mysteriously sexy writer. Reece's hard-won happiness and sense of security are threatened, however, when she becomes not only the sole witness to a murder but also the killer's next target.

Johnathon's latest movie project is called Living Hell and is being shot at Santa Fe's old main-prison facility and in and around Belen. around April 25th 2006. The producers are David Greathouse, Deborah Del Prete and Gigi Pritzker, executive producer is Steve Ecclesine and the director is Richard Jefferies (Cold Creek Manor). It will be a production of Dark Lot Entertainment and is a part of The Horror Chronicles series.

The film, which stars Johnathon, is about a mild-mannered teacher, Frank Sears, who learns that a New Mexican army base is being decontaminated before being demolished. Sears has top secret information about an experiment that was conducted in the 1950s in which his mother was involved. He is mystified by the bizarre tattoo his mother gave him as a child  right before she committed suicide. He goes there and urges the base commander to open a secret vault, which contains a deadly organism that was discovered and bred by his biological father. This deadly organism's tendrils feed on light and warmth and devour everything in its path. The teacher, along with a hazmat specialist, has to figure out how to stop it from growing and destroying everything in its path.

I will post more information as it comes to hand. Sounds like a fantastic movie..

Correction of incorrect Trivia.
A few sites mention that Johnathon was offered the role of Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, however this is incorrect. The correct story is: Jim Caviezel was originally offered the role of Jesus in the TV Movie Judas but turned it down. Johnathon was NEVER offered the role of Jesus in The Passion of the Christ.

That Thing You Do - Thanks to word of mouth AND the release of "older" movies on DVD, great films like That Thing You Do (1996) are reaching far greater audiences than ever before. TTYD is becoming a hit all over again. Directed and written by Tom Hanks this is a fun, feel good movie that doesn't rely on special effects, sex, nudity, swearing and killing... Sound boring??.. Well it's NOT..!!! ... It's a very underrated movie well ahead of it's time and about to have a come back. This movie is available on DVD so "do yourself a favour" and grab a copy. Johnathon stars as the brooding, but brilliant Jimmy Mattingly as seen below with co star Liv Tyler
