Patrick Swayze’s Jump To Premier In Linz
Posted by Rodneyon 18. 03. 2008in News Chat
Cancer is unable to hold back the awesome power of Swayze! His most recent project Jump is set to launch in Linz; we get the following news from the professionals at Variety:
Patrick Swayze’s upcoming Austrian-produced drama “Jump,” about the 1928 murder trial of celebrity photographer Philippe Halsman, will have its world premiere in the Austrian city of Linz on April 16. Produced by Lilly Berger and written and directed by Joshua Sinclair, “Jump” recounts the mysterious death of Halsman’s father while on a hiking trip in the Alps with his son, and the arrest of the Latvian-born Halsman, played by British thesp Ben Silverstone (“Get Real”) for the crime.
We are hoping Swayze is able to recover well, and soon. It is sad that it takes cancer to get Swayze on the front covers of magazines in grocery stores, when he has never stopped being full blown awesome. But if you can’t beat em – join em, and hopefully Swayze will be able to use this attention for personal gain after he destroys cancer in the current death-match in which he is embroiled.
We mentioned Jump a while back because not only does it star Swayze, but B-Movie super vixen Sybil Danning! You couldn’t hope for a better cast, and I certainly want to see this one as soon as possible. For those of you that are able to get to Austria – please do so and give us a review of the film!

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)Patrick Swayze, quite well known in the USA. “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost”. But I’m really looking forward to seeing Ben Silverstone. Absolutely amazing actor.
tim u didnt type your comment here!
Sorry. Hope this is right.
Patrick Swayze will kill that Cancer.
Wow, Alex – you’re what, 5? Or trying to be funny? Can’t seem of any other reasons for not knowing Swayze.

I just watched this film. I should learn not to trust the critics but view a film for what I think and how it speaks to me. I had read a review stating that it was a good historical film but the acting and directing were not. This caused me to be more critical in the opening scenes, hoping for a good performance, but expecting just a documentary. Patrick Swayze may have seemed a little stiff at the beginning, which surprised me, and I wondered if this was a reflection on the director. But he really shined in the courtroom and afterwards. As I expected, Ben Silverstone was excellent. I was drawn into the story, the emotion, and the agony of the defendant (Silverstone). The quality of the production was very good and the story was well told. I hope this movie does well.
Tim! Thank you for the heads up on this movie, I am very interested in seeing it and I am delighted that you enjoyed it.

Hope you recover from your illness Patrick but unfortunately this film ‘Jump’ is a stinker! Lousy script, direction and consequently acting. A real mess!!!!!!
