Insanitic that would be just so wonderful if you could get that spot for us!

Thanks for the news and the scans Lizzie! it makes sence they would try and get to the NZ people through her.... if Jason's not that known over there....

On my way home a few days ago I saw this guy who had a tattoo that looked so similar to Jason's on The Tattooist to the length of his hands! I wanted to ask him if it ment anything but thought that would have been wired if someone just came to you and ask you that.... I had to get off the buss anyway.

I can't believe I only just found out Jason Behr was doing a NZ movie. He was in New Zealand and I didn't even realise, jeez, I suck. Anyway, turns out I found out just in time. Now I'm so happy. This seriously just brightened a crappy day.

That would be amazing! It's already today!

I was just watching the late news and there was a segment on the premiere, there's a streaming video that someone might be able to rip here. I'm not sure if it's the same segment since I can't watch it on my comp but there might be more tomorrow on the same site.

ETA: Also there's a possibility that Tagata Pasifika could air a segment on the movie - if not tomorrow then at some stage, especially since one of the hosts Robbie Magasiva is in the film. So if someone is going to tape the special it might pay to check that out too since it airs just before it on channel one.

Thanks TelleBelle84. I just watched the segment. I hope they'll have actual footage of Jason on the Red Carpet too. The segment was live and was actually filmed before the stars arrived, although there was a couple of brief interview moments with Jason.

Thanks so much for linking it.

Ooh! Thanks for the link! Nice bit of Jason being interviewed. I can't wait for more from the premiere!

Honey-Girl · 08-29-2007, 07:12 AM

Thanks for posting this link!

Scottie · 08-29-2007, 07:46 AM

Ditto! Loved the video of the red carpet. This is so exciting for us and must be for Jason!

NZ leaves mark on The Tattooist star

American actor Jason Behr speaks of honour at being given title of Samoan matai while filming The Tattooist

29 August 2007

The American heart throb who stars in New Zealand film The Tattooist is overwhelmed at his honour from the Samoan community.

Jason Behr, known to most as Max from teen alien series Roswell, was bestowed with the chiefly matai title halfway through filming, along with director Peter Burger. Behr says he and Burger really wanted to be authentic and represent the Samoan community honestly. He says they were surprised with the honour and it means a big deal to him, as it is not something given away lightly.

In The Tattooist Behr plays Jake, an restless tattooist from LA who messes with traditional Samoan tatau and unleashes all kinds of horrors. Mia Blake plays his love interest Sina, while the film also features Robbie Magasiva and Michael Hurst.

It is Burger's first full-length feature and a joint production between New Zealand and Singapore, the first such partnership. The film will at this stage be distributed in New Zealand, Singapore and Australia and premieres in Auckland tonight. Behr believes The Tattooist's portrayal of Samoan supernatural beliefs will spark interest from other countries. He says it has the benefit of a story and a world that people across the globe are unfamiliar with, making it more believable.

Behr has a Japanese character tattoo already and says it was tempting to get another during the filming of The Tattoist. He says he loved having a full sleeve tattoo for the role, although it was fake. "It was really difficult to walk away from this film and not have a full sleeve. I mean every day you would look at it and just looked so cool and just right." But he conceded a full sleeve would limit his acting career.

Jason Behr says when he first arrived a year ago he instantly felt connected to New Zealand and it now feels like home, so much so that he would love to retire here.

The Tattooist opens at cinemas across New Zealand on August 30.
