Jordan Catalano to Play John Lennon Assassin



Mynette's kick-ass Hawaii Film Office blog reports that there's going to be a second project in the works about Mark David Chapman, who also served in the army here in Hawaii in the 1970s, while plotting away Lennon's assassination.

First off, Leto looks nothing like Chapman. And yes, he does have indie cred (REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, FIGHT CLUB), but he will forever be Angela Chase's dreamboat slacker in MY SO-CALLED LIFE. What a damn good show that was!

Anyhoo, like Mynette, I find it also disheartening that this project will forgo the portrayal of Chapman's Asian wife for a composite character to be played by the gaunt-by-the-minute Lindsay Lohan (you had promise in MEAN GIRLS!).

Keep in mind, there is another project done by Brit filmmakers and Gloria Abe (Chapman's wife) is being played by Mie Omori, the lead actress in FISHBOWL, the winner of the Best Hawaii Film & Videomaker Award at this year's LVHIFF. Mie is only a junior at Iolani but she's got a bright future ahead of her! We'll keep you posted if we hear of further developments on this "other" project.
