New project?
Jonathan is on the cover of the special holiday issue of Details Magazine. You can see a sneak peek at the interview and photoshoot on the Details website.
Mentioned in the interview is the first we’ve heard of an unconfirmed new project, Mandrake:
In January, Rhys Meyers begins filming Mandrake, a Chuck Russell—directed action movie about an escape artist who, working with the United States Treasury Service, uses his powers of illusion to fight crime. “[It’s] something I’ve been looking for,” Rhys Meyers says. “Playing Henry [VIII] was about having people see me as a lean, mean, testosterone machine, as an alpha male. [Mandrake] is a real, muscular, testosterone, up-on-a-wire action hero.”
Prior to this, the film adaption of this comic strip/books was set to star magician Criss Angel. No other reports or press releases yet have announced Jonathan as the lead.
Criss Angel was never set to star as Mandrake, he is a tecnical consultant that may have a role in the movie aswell.
