POP STAR NICK JONAS TRANSITIONS TO SERIOUS ACTING ROLE
The youngest sibling of the phenomenal Jonas Brothers band, Nick Jonas, stars in his first adult and serious acting role in the upcoming thriller “Careful What You Wish For” opposite Isabel Lucas and Dermot Mulroney.
Jonas plays Doug, a handsome self-conscious virgin student who gets more than what he bargained for when he started having a very passionate affair with Lena (Lucas), the wife of an investment banker Elliot Harper ( Mulroney). Further into their relationship, Doug is eventually charged with adultery and has become the prime suspect of Harper’s death.
From the direction of Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, who also directed “Gossip Girl,” “Vampire Diaries” and “Aquamarine,” "Careful What You Wish For" delves into the millenials’ psyche on their desire for immediate gratification.
“For me, our movie is a morality tale exploring that very subject matter and depicting the true consequences of attention- grabbing, momentarily thrilling but illicit behavior. The film is a provocative, cautionary story for the upcoming generational archetype – a peer group that is suddenly faced with a far bigger stage, more attainable temptation, and higher stakes than any generation that has come before,” said Rosenbaum.
Allen further shares on working with his male lead star, “He admirably threw himself into the task of exploring this young, impressionable character. Nick does a beautiful job of depicting Doug’s arc; we watch him both emotionally and visually transform from an innocent boy into a jaded, hardened man...”
From Axinite Digicinema, “Careful What You Wish For” opens next month in cinemas nationwide.
