1/2/08 | LATEST

Many thanks to April for the continuing good work! Here's her latest update:

I wanted to let you know that the movie 'Boy in the Box' is from Josh's and his brother's production company. And in that new movie 'Management.' Josh is supposed to play, I heard, a ex-porn star. Can't wait for that one.

Neither can we.

Also special thanks to Raven on the forum for solving the registration problem with the board. Very much appreciated!

12/26/07 | DEATH IN LOVE

Thanks to an anonymous Josh Lucas fan who sent in the following:

"Hi Jenn ~ thank you for the updates. I have another one if you think it may be interesting. It is about the movie Death In Love that will be showing in your neck of the woods at Sundance. They have an official website that maybe some would like to see."

http://www.deathinlovethefilm.com/

Also, just to prepare myself from undue stress LOL, is the site going down for awhile at the first of the year?"

Just to allay any fears, JLU is not going to make it's annual ritual of going down this year. I just renewed our domain registration. Whew!

And thanks to April for this correction:

"Wanted to let you know I made a little mistake on the updates I gave you. The two Indie films Josh is doing are not from his and his brother production company, they are from two different companys."

 

12/18/07 | FILM UPDATES

Thanks to April for the following update on Josh's up-and-coming films!

"Hi April again. Didn't think you knew about Josh's two Inide films coming out the begining of next year. "Death in Love" and I think the other one is call "Boy in the Box" I think. Both are read from his and his brother's production company. And also the Scott brothers production he is doing next year. A movie about him as a single father getting a heart transplant trying to find the killers of the guy who he got the heart from before they come after him. And I just heard about the one he plays a Judiest Priest who goes under cover on wall street. Based on a true story. I think his character ends up dead, hung under a bridge or something. That should be interesting, "God's Spy" is the name of that one. Anyway also here is a new pic I found. It's him recently Dec. 3.

The Scott brothers movie is called "Tell-Tale". And the other Indie movie is called "Boy in the Box". They are filming it now."

Thanks again to April for the update and all the others who keep the site going. Keep sending in your updates!

As we patiently wait for breaking news, please enjoy some re-caps of items you may (or may not) of already seen. The first of my "Josh in Review" series...

 

ECOISTS: JOSH LUCAS

One of the things that Josh Lucas is known for is his passion for and commitment to environmental activism. One of Josh's recent projects is THE GREEN, presented by Robert Redford from Sundance Channel. THE GREEN is "television's first regularly-scheduled programming destination dedicated entirely to the environment." Also on THE GREEN online, you can "find multimedia content focusing on the earth's ecology and concepts of 'green' living that balance human needs with responsible care for the planet. If you haven't already, please visit THE GREEN online. As many of you know, Josh's cause is The National Biodiesel Board.

06/06/07 | HI THERE

Ok, I know it's been awful quiet on this side. More updates to come. Soon. Promise.

In the meantime... have any Josh news to share?

 

1/26/07 | NEW WEBSITE, NEW YOU

All right, who was I kidding with the promises of a new site? Not only do I work full-time, I'm a mother, artist, entrepreneur, web & graphic designer, aspiring-writer-filmmaker-chef-animal trainer-theologian-photographer-fine arts museum curator-tap dancer-Jim Halpert groupie-Central Park roller skater- and the list really just goes on. But seriously, I'm just really busy with life. Plus, I'm Sundancing in beautiful, ass-cold Utah right now. So... that was round-about way of saying, no new design yet, but here, just for you, is the beautifully packaged Josh Lucas Underground, brought back to you in its original form.

Don't forget to bookmark our new addresss: www.joshlucasu.com

11/08/06 | WHERE IN THE WORLD IS JOSH?

Thanks to Asainova for sending in this scan from Vanity Fair's December 2006 issue:

Thanks to Lynn for this:

From NY Daily News (10/16/06)

... What a combo: Moby, Josh Lucas and Mikhail Gorbachev
will honor Sundance Channel President Larry Aidem
tonight at the Green Cross International/Global Green
USA Awards for launching Sundance Channel Green,
offering prime-time programs focusing on the
environment, set to launch next year …

Thanks to Guldal who found a clip of Josh on You Tube from his infamous Conan O'Brien appearance. You'll also find many (many) other clips of Josh on You Tube.

 

09/10/06 | GQ

Thanks to Jessie for passing along these fab photos of Josh from GQ back in June... along with a risque article. I'm certain I'm the last person to have seen them since I'm so out of the loop lately, but for the rest of you... an encore:

      

   

My favorite is number 4 because oddly it reminds me of my 2 year old drinking out of her sippy cup. And, no, it's not because I put beer in it. Photo number 2 is a very close second. Boy howdy, you sure got some purdy teeth...

And in further news-that-Jenn-just heard-of-some-months-later:

Josh Lucas Will Investigate Smart
Source: Variety
June 20, 2006

Josh Lucas has signed on for Smart, a biopic based on the eccentric life of GQ and Esquire magazine founder David Smart, says Variety. Bruce Nash's Nash Entertainment is producing along with Lucas' just-launched 2 Bridges Productions.The film centers on the magazine powerhouse whose life was almost entirely consumed by his germ phobia. He and a circle of colleagues created a long string of classroom instructional films on health and hygiene. Meanwhile, he led an unorthodox personal life and was known for his womanizing and affinity for shirtless photos of himself.Charlie Peters wrote the screenplay. Lucas will star as a fictional FBI investigator who infiltrates Smart's world. The title character has not yet been cast.

 

06/27/06 | UPDATE

Hmmm... Just a little behind! Forgive me. I started a new job and between the transitioning and training, what little was left was spent on the family and regaining my sanity. (Not that there was a whole lot to begin with.)

Want to help JLU keep up on the updates? Send an e-mail to jlu_mail@msn.com!

Josh was photographed with Alexa Davalos (cute stuff, you must admit) at the Kanye West benefit concert for amFAR on 6/23 (click photo to enlarge). Watch a video from the red carpet here. Note: This video may give indication as to why Josh wasn't in his siblings' bluegrass group.


Here's a photo of Josh and friends Christi Allen and Jackson from the Wassup Rockers Free-for-All Block Party and Outdoor Screening in NYC on 6/17. Is it me or is it kinda nice to see a movie star sitting on some New Yawk floor in his Chuck Taylors?


Thank you to LadiJanvier who sent us this fan art. (Click for full-size image.)

Thanks to Mike for e-mailing us a link to AOL's list of the Top Action Heroes of the summer, which includes Josh Lucas:

More photos added to the Poseidon Gallery.

Josh will be hosting an evening of natural disasters on the National Geographic Channel on May 11th (same night as his "Will & Grace" appearance).

Also, wanted to share these cute photos of Josh and Mia Maestro at the 2006 Movieline Young Hollywood Awards from 4/30. (Wouldn't you love to be Mia in that photo? Lucky girl.)

04/27/06 | JLU MONTHLY

I'm baaaaack...

Thanks everyone for hanging with JLU. Here are some sumptious tidbits for those of you looking for that Josh Lucas fix:

For those of you lucky to be in NYC on May 6th (hey! that's my birthday) Lynn reports that Poseidon is screening at the Tribeca Film Festival. From the website Digital Spy: "We are truly honoured and delighted to be a part of the Tribeca Film Festival and to offer New York audiences advance passage on Poseidon," said [Poseidon director Wolfgang] Petersen. "Poseidon was made for audiences like this, people who truly love movies and the film-going experience, who go to the theater expecting to be transported to a entirely different world."

Props to Lynn, Stevey and Brittany for the TiVo alert: Josh will guest star on NBC's "Will & Grace" on May 11th, the next-to-last show of the series, ending it's eight-year stint.

For more info on Josh's appearances, check out the KEEPING UP WITH JOSH calendar to the right.

Diana wrote in to say she thinks the voiceover talent for the new AT&T campaign (at the end of the spots) is Josh. It sounds a hell of a lot like him, but I'm not sure... leaning towards nyet. What's your vote? Check in here.

And in saving the best for last... photo time!

Isabelle has sent us some screen caps from Unfinished Life (including the one up top). Enjoy! Thanks mon ami belle!

                      

Thanks to Rui for hooking us up with this photo:

While I'm not able to update as often as I used to (and as much as I'd like to), don't forget to visit the Forum and the Chat for the most up-to-date info and Josh news.

 

03/31/06 | BY JOSH

Thanks to Josh fan Nan for mailing in this article by Josh "Naughty By Nature" Lucas. Josh was a guest columnist for new literary publication "Ellipsis," which made it's debut in January. Click on the thumbnail to read the article.

Hiya Nan!

Also, want to apologize for the archives going out on the Chat. It's now fixed. Read backposts to your heart's content my friends.

 

03/18/06 | HAPPY MARCH

Howdy all... I've resurrected myself long enough to say, "Yes I still exist!" Unfortunately, I've been buried under tons of work. Way too much going on here to elaborate. So the little time I have of leisure is spent with my beautiful little girls. But don't worry, things should be changing here in the next couple of months at work that may allow me to return to my regular life. (And, hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.)

Thanks to all the great Josh Lucas fans who have kept JLU going! I see the Forum and Chat are carrying on business as usual. I appreciate you all posting the latest and greatest and keeping everyone entertained.

Many thanks also to...

Lynn, who sent this clip our way: Josh on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Tammy, who informs us that The Definite Maybe can be found on Amazon.com for those of you looking for some of Josh's early work

SWW, for sending us an interview from ASU

Isabelle, who sent this interview from BlackFilm.com

Ellipsis Magazine's editor, H. Perry Horton, for informing us of "an article written by Josh Lucas on the books that have influenced him. It's a pretty neat piece, very experimental in tone, and not at all the same, cookie-cutter sort of feature you typically see regarding a Hollywood star."

The Diva, who linked us up to an interview with Josh on 3blackchicks.com (great photos, too)

If you've got some news or photos you'd like to share, feel free to e-mail or visit the Forum.
