Jeremy Jackson from “Baywatch” joins cast of the “Untitled Kris Black Project”
(December 18, 2009) Hollywood, CA – Jeremy Jackson, who portrayed “Hobie” on the internationally-famed “BAYWATCH,” has joined the cast of the FourTwoFive Films production of “The Untitled Kris Black Project.”
Jackson, 29, who last year appeared on the VH1 reality series, “Confessions of a Teen Idol,” joins previously set stars Shar Jackson, Justin Shilton, and Kris Black in the comedy-thriller, to be directed by Hank Braxtan.
The much-lauded Kris Black screenplay combines the “movie-within-a-movie” concept, as Jackson will portray himself, and “Caleb,” a fictional character in the horror movie that first time director, Kris Black, portraying himself, is producing.
Shot in the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” format, the film will be a scathing satire on independent film-making. The project is independently financed through FourTwoFive Films by executive producer, Paul Payne. Bruce Reisman, partnered in FourTwoFive Films is executive producer as well.
FourTwoFive Films recently completed their first venture, “The House That Jack Built,” which starred Joe Mantegna, Gail O’Grady, Hal Sparks, Shar Jackson, along with Kris Black as “Jack” in the indi-thriller. Bruce Reisman directed.
Jeremy Jackson, who is best known as a child-star, has grown into a handsome, talented adult actor.
“The Untitled Kris Black Project” is the second on a multi-picture slate for 2010 for Reisman and Black’s company. Following “Untitled” will be “Boarding School 3-D,” featuring another BAYWATCH alumnus, David Chokachi. Shooting begins in February in Detroit, Michigan with Bruce Reisman directing the script he co-wrote with Kris Black. Black also stars.
Following “Boarding School 3-D” are “Five Good Years,” a boxing drama set against the backdrop of West Virginia coal mines; and in summer, “4:20,” an all-out, youth-oriented comedy, will shoot in Los Angeles with Kris Black making his directorial debut.
All projects are being packaged by Stephen Rice at Pantheon Talent.
