Jason in TV movie: "Portrait of Love" on Hallmark channel

[Lilly]

There's nothing on IMDb so far about Art and Soul, so I don't have much information on this yet, but actress Frances Fisher tweeted this photo:

(Edited 11/25/2014 to change the subject line, since the movie title is now "Heart of the Matter" and the broadcaster is now Pixl.)


If Frances is playing a grandma for the first time, does that mean that Jason will be playing a dad?

Ooooh! I really like her, and I have a secret fondness for Hallmark movies. (I don't want to admit how many times I watched Snow Bride last Christmas....)

I'd certainly love to see Jason playing a dad, too.

Wow, that really does look like a family photo, doesn't it?! I'm looking forward to finding out more about this movie. It looks very sweet!

[Lilly]

It sure does!

Part of me really wants to see Jason stretch his wings and do something he's never done before -- play a dad. But part of me would love to see him as a crusty uncle who not great with kids, a la Logan in the "Postgame Mortem" episode of Veronica Mars (the one where a little girl is left is his care while her sister runs off to Vegas with Dick).

[allegrita]

I've got to say, that looks a bit like a crusty, reluctant uncle-type expression! So you may very well get that wish.

[Lilly]

I'm adding this here because there's a pic of Jason.

My favorite part: Jason saying, "It's so cool to do something so wholesome." THIS is why I love this guy.

Info, info!



Apparently a title (and network) change. The movie is now "Heart of the Matter," and will air on Pixl channel on Sat. 11/29, at 9 pm EST.

It looks...adorable.

[Lilly]

That's wonderful.

I'm giggling over the "interpretive dance" comment.


ETA: Well, that change is unexpected. I have no idea if I even have that channel.

My area does not have Pixl

[librarian_7]

I'm not sure I do, either. (And will be in a TV-less wasteland that evening, anyway.)

[librarian_7]

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I found this just now. It's got a very nice writeup on Jason's career.

It looks like, if you don't have the channel on your TV, you can subscribe to it as a streaming thing for about $15 a year.
