I don't know how many of you know that I am a huge fan of the
EVENT HORIZON movie. I collect everything related to it, but in
reasonable numbers. And that's why I tried to write to every cast member
in that movie. The very first to arrive and I still think the best
actor resonce ever is from Jason Isaacs, an English actor to appear
in the coming summer 2000 - "PATRIOT" movie. I believe I won't see
any better responce that what I got from him.
Here is the story:
I sent him a letter and a digital picture I made myself from
EVENT HORIZON slide saying to Jason that I am a huge EVENT HORIZON fan
and that I really liked his part in it. The letter was actually big, and
I was writing it from hospital, so by hand...
Anyway the address appeared to be correct and at that time Jason was
in UK, so the reply was fast for me (I live in Europe). I could hardly
believe my eyes when I got that letter:
He signed me one pic I made on digital printer (He is sitting in the deck
aboard the Event Horizon) as "Best wishes - keep watching, Jason Isaacs".
Then he included !2! same 8x10 bw portraits, seems like also in the uniform
from the set of the Event Horizon.
One signed "Luck and love - Jason Isaacs-X",
second - IN GOTHIC SCRIPT WRITING!!!!!! -
"TO LEONID - Best wishes - Jason Isaacs" and in the bottom:
"Watch out for 'PATRIOT' in summer 2000".
Whoa!
This is already the best inscribtion I ever seen, but it's not the
last.
On the other side of the photo with my name on it there was a written letter,
which for the star of his size I wouldn't call SHORT.
I write his letter to me here:
----
"Dear Leonid, It's so lovely you took the trouble to write, so I figured
the least I could do was pay my own postage and throw in an extra photo!
I'm glad you enjoyed Event Horizon, it was more like a theatre than a
film for me; only 8 octors, 1 set every day etc. But I though the final
film had a very special style to it. It's nice to know someone
somewhere appreciated it. The director - Paul, had less luck with his
next film SOLDIER, but he's working a DEATH RACE with Tom Cruise now
so all hope that this ends well.
Thanks for writing and luck with everything you do... Jason x"
