James Marsters in a new movie...kissing a guy!
- Thread starter angelus1234
- Start date
Last I heard, James is no longer going to be in that movie. It is the movie "Venetian Heat" which was supposed to begin filming in October of this year but was delayed due to funding, I believe. JM and the other stars who were to be in it are no longer linked to this project.

Synopsis:
A play about the eroticism of fear ...
ITALY, SEPTEMBER 1943 - The country is in a shambles. The Fascists have surrendered and Nazi Germany is invading. On an isolated farm, a married couple hide two army deserters in their cellar. In the kitchen they eat, drink wine, play cards and allow passion to take control. In one of the hottest summers Italy has seen this century, hidden desires are revealed as Adriano's marriage to Caterina breaks down and he falls in love with the deserter, Franco.
Based on a true story, this is a provocative play about wartorn love that is as stifling as that famed VENETIAN HEAT.
You shouldn't fall into the trap of thinking that Venetian Heat is strictly a gay play. It's as much about straight relationships as gay ones, and despite its historical setting, strikes a chord with a modern audience.
Imagine, if you will, the oppressive heat and tension of an Italian country summer; that heat mingling with the fear as Mussolini's Fascists fall and the Nazis move in to invade. It is against this backdrop that Claudio Macor's dram unfolds.
The play is intimate and simple, revolving around four characters. Two desperate army deserters stumble into the decaying relationship of Adriano and Caterina Carbini. The younger deserter, Mario, falls for Caterina while the elder, Franco, sets his sights on Adriano. As escape plans are hatched, the Fascists, personified by the black-clad Signor Fabiani, become suspicious about the strangers that have been seen st the farmhouse.
It's a straight-forward narrative, moved along by some very skillful performances from an attractive, young cast. Lisa D'Agostino makes Caterina into a passionate, fiery character, gradually becoming more aware that her marriage is a sham and falling in love with Rupert Evans' naive, cute Mario. Gary Fannin as Adriano perfectly portrays the initial denial of his sexuality as he is faced with Franco's infatuation. Will Chitty is charismatic as Franco, making the most of a complex, well-written part.
Mention must be made of Phil Lea's incredible stage design. Making the best use of a small, intimate stage he has constructed a full Italian kitchen complete with working cooker and sink, enhancing the play's naturalistic feel no end. One word of advice: eat before you go, as the delicious aroma of the ragu Caterina cooks is liable to make your stomach rumble.
It's an intense and involving play, and you won't believe you've sat there for an hour and a half. Check it out and see what I mean.
Torchlight Theatre Company return to the pocket-sized stage located in the bowels of the Curtains Up pub and once again create a highly specific snapshot of an Italy now passed into history. In fact, Claudio Macor's new play, set on a farm during one baking 1940s summer, is based on a true story told to him by his Italian grandfather.
Caterina (the excellent Lisa D'Agostino) and Adriano (Gary Fannin) are a childless, young married couple trying to survive in a country torn apart by the treachery of the fascists and the grinding heel of occupying German troops. When first one Italian deserter breaks into their simple home, closely followed by another (a wounded young boy), the reasons for the tension in the marriage erupt in a way which profoundly alters their lives.
Saturnine Franco (Will Chitty) gravitates toward Adriano, while the boy, Mario (Rupert Evans - a dead ringer for a young Brad Pitt) cleaves to the maternal Caterina. Soon all four are happily existing in a cosy rustic menage complete with visits from the loacl priest (Neil MacLeod). But harbouring deserters is punishable by death and former friends will do anything to curry favour with the Germans.
Torchlight's aim is to present a 'living cinema' and their attention to detail, albeit on a shoe-string, plus the understated, naturalistic performances of the cast mean they come very close to achieving their objective. Director Macor, an expert in creating sexual tension between his players, is ably assisted by the atmospheric lighting of fellow Torchlight stalwart, Phil Lea. The proximity of the stage, designed as a perfectly authentic Italian peasant kitchen, draws in the audience ineluctably, making the final betrayal even more shocking.

But ... someone asked Julie Caitlin Brown, who is James' con manager, about it at the Halloween Buffy con in Nashville this year, and she said that JM was out of it. (I know that she is his con manager and that Steve Himber is his general manager and the manager for his band, but I would think that she would know....)

Maybe you can find out something definitive. James did say at Dragon*Con this year that Patrick Dempsey had dropped out and was not going to be in it. This is from a transcribed report (by "talkenglish2me" on the More Than Spike board) of one his Q & A sessions at Dragon*Con, and I was there and heard him say it too:
Q: I read that Patrick Dempsey is going to play your character's love interest in "Venetian Heat". How do you feel about that?
JM: Uh, no. No, he read the script and found out he had to kiss me and dropped out. (loud voice) The WUSS! [audience laughs] (says something I can't make out, then in funny voice of someone put off by the role says) "I have to play a gay man?!"
I can't wait. I can't wait. I want to do a love scene with a guy that's SO HOT that it turns the girls on. [Roars from audience]

As I mentioned in my post earlier, as far as I know, JM is no longer going to be in Venetian Heat. The comments that he made at D*C on Labor Day week-end were when he still was going to be in it. Again, the movie may still be made, but not with JM and some (or all?) of the original stars who were supposed to be in it.

wow...that really sucks, i dont care what movies james marsters is in...i just want to see him in a movie...as a main character!
Yes. That's great! And I totally agree Cindy He really is very talented and does deserve the opportunity to show it beyond what the Buffyverse has to offer. I love Spike like no other but I would love to see him expand and get to do a variety of things.
