Jeffrey Dean Morgan Unlimited

ETA: Some people have been asking for spoilers for Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s role in Jonah Hex. I don’t want to spoil anyone, but some sites have started posted the details and not every fan is going to pay to see a 5 minute scene. So if you want to know more about his role, click HERE.

You’ve probably heard by now that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has a small role in Jonah Hex, the comic book based movie starring Josh Brolin. Though his scene is only about 5 minutes long, I’ve heard that it’s the best scene in the movie.

Here’s an excerpt from the producers on casting JDM:

I wanted to ask about casting Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Tom Wopat.

Lazar: Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a friend of Warner Brothers, he’s done a bunch of movies there, and we tried to get somebody who had some gravitas to go up against Josh, and it’s actually one of my favorite scenes in the film, so we asked him to do us a favor, and he did it.

Was that for free?

Lazar: Pretty much. When you come in and do a small part like that, even though it’s an interesting role, Jeffrey Dean’s a pretty respected actor, and I could have cast him as Jonah Hex, had Josh passed.

Shanghai, a movie Jeffrey Dean Morgan filmed in 2008 for The Weinstein Co.,  had its international premiere this week. Star John Cusack has been on a friendship tour of China and attended the premiere in Shanghai on June 10. It’s also playing at the Shanghai Film Festival. The reviews have been generally good. Hopefully this will encourage The Weinstein Co. to give this movie a higher priority on its North American and European schedule.

Here’s a Shanghai review

On the Red Dawn front we heard earlier this week that because of MGM going into receivership that Red Dawn would never be released. But then MGM countered with a statement saying that Red Dawn was still on for November.

But when TheWrap contacted the studio, its head of marketing, Mike Vollman, was adamant the the movie is “still dated for Nov. 24.” He had no comment regarding the Times report besides pointing out that it didn’t quote anyone from MGM.

I want to believe him, though I won’t be surprised if it turns out the rumours are right!

It’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s birthday! So how can we help him celebrate it?

He did say he wants The Losers to be a hit, so if you’re in North America, go see it! Not that any of you need any encouragement! Word of mouth from the previews has been good and Roger Ebert loved it, so it has a great chance of being Number 1 this weekend.

You can also contribute to The Great Jeffrey Dean Morgan Birthday Project. You can do so in a few ways. You can donate directly, bid on one of the ebay auctions or buy a bracelet from the Laughing Vixen Lounge on Etsy.

The Laughing Vixen Lounge has come up with a way to raise even MORE money for The Great Jeffrey Dean Morgan Project.

She’s holding a giveaway where all you have to do is leave a comment or follow her on twitter for a chance to win a fabulous prize from her shop and a donation will be made to Donate JDM!

This is just some of the designs you can choose from as a prize.

Just click on either image below to go check out the details at the Laughing Vixen Lounge blog.

First off, people have been sending me questions for the JDM Fan Sites Conference Call. I didn’t get an invite to participate, so I won’t have an opportunity to ask your questions. Sorry:-(

You should direct them to one of the other fansites since they were good questions! Better than my “what’s your favourite colour” standby. But no “boxers or briefs” questions, okay??

Okay, over to our guest blogger, who wants to talk to you about Donate JDM, which is down to its last days for fundraising (Warning – I DID say it was hokey. This is your last chance to turn back!)

Hi, Darla here. Usually I just go online to look at pictures of German Shepherds and Great Danes at the American Kennel Club site and order dog treats from 3 Dog Bakery when no one’s looking. But I was surfing and just found out about Donate JDM and The Brittany Foundation. Did you know there are dogs that live in shelters? That’s just wrong!

EVERY dog should have a home, and a human at their beck and call. The lady at the shelter looks very nice, but dogs need to have someplace to call home, a sofa to lay on and a bed to curl up on.  Hey if it’s good enough for you…

So how you can help? You can donate money to Donate JDM. Just click on the picture below and you can make a donation. It will help The Brittany Foundation in finding a home for these dogs. And keep an eye out for auctions. Some of those items looks very chewable!

Or you can go buy a bracelet at Laughing Vixen’s Supernatural Etsy Shop. She’ll donate part of all sales to Donate JDM. So far she’s raised $250. That’s a lot of milk bones!

And if you can’t donate, that’s okay. You can always leave a birthday message. And one for the dogs too!
