OATH ■ IT'S JASON


Great codzillikers! Jason Donovan is making
his very first movie. It’s a cinematic outing
called Blood Oath, which also stars Bryan
Brown, nearing completion in the sunny
climes of Queensland. In the midst of his
hectic schedule, Bitz caught up with
Mr."Everyday” himself “on set” for a little
chatter on a platter - or something/!

Bitz: Tell us a bit about Blood Oath then!


J a s e : It’s a story about Japanese war crimes in
World War II. There’s a few people in it; Bryan
Brown, Nicholas Eadie and myself.
Bitz: Do you have a very big part?
J a s e : No I don’t. Obviously I don’t want people to
expect much because it’s not a big part. It was just
that the story appealed to me and there’s some
really good people working on it so I thought, ‘I
want to be involved’. I play Private Talbot, who is
an army private. The movie’s set in Indonesia and
revolves around a court case. I become a friend of
one of the Japanese and I suppose by the end of
the film you see a twist...but I won’t tell you about
that!
Bitz: (Ponders!) How are they getting Surfers
Paradise to look like Indonesia?
J a s e : Some of the shots just look amazing and you
can’t pick the difference. Really! Are there lots of
rubber frees? Well, they’ve built one big set, but
most of the filming has been done on palm tree
allotments.
Bitz: Where to after filming finishes?
J a s e : I go to America for a couple of weeks. It’s
like the first time I’ve been there. It’ll be interesting
to see how the record (“Too Many Broken Hearts'')
does.It’s a very hard market to break, but it should
be fun. Then I go to the UK and do some more stuff
in Europe through to the end of the year. There’s
no plans to tour Australia at the moment though.
Bitz: Have you “bumped" into Kylie lately?
J a s e : No, I haven't really. The last time I saw her
was in London and we sort of nodded to each other
as we were getting onto different flights.
Sometimes we cross paths, sometimes we don't. I
might not see her for again for, geez, I don't know
how long!
Bitz: Do you think you'll do another duet?
J a s e : Erm...not this year, no! Haha!

There she stands Wai-ai-ai-ait

Waiting for her first love From a tender heart
Keep on waiting for him That he promised

Like madame butterfly To be left with the chance
Of living a lie on her own
