MoviePoopShoot.com, December 2003

"Dawson's Creek" alum Joshua Jackson is joining Donald Sutherland, Juliette Lewis and Louise Fletcher in the indie "Aurora Borealis." The project is lensing in Toronto. James Burke is helming from a script by Brent Boyd. "Borealis" centers on a troubled young man (Jackson) struggling to right himself after the premature death of his father. Sutherland and Fletcher play his grandparents, with Lewis starring as the home assistant to Sutherland's character who winds up as Jackson's love interest. Entitled Entertainment -- the production partnership between Burke and Scott Disharoon -- is producing in association with Rick Bieber Prods. Individual producing credits go to Disharoon and Bieber. Jackson is repped by WMA and Michael Bircumshaw at Water Street Management. Since the end of "Creek," Jackson has worked on the indie "Americano," with Dennis Hopper and Leonor Varela, "I Love Your Work," for director Adam Goldberg, and as part of the voice talent in "Racing Stripes." Lewis is repped by WMA and manager Brandy Lewis. She most recently starred in "Old School" and "Cold Creek Manor." She next appears in "Blueberry" and "Starsky & Hutch." Sutherland is repped by CAA. He next stars in "Cold Mountain." Fletcher is repped by Bauman, Redanty & Shaul. She won an Oscar for her work in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Boyd is repped by Rogers Hartmann and manager Noah Rosen.
