Alterna-Jensen Coming to a Theater Near You
We've been talking so much about Jared Padalecki's casting news -- you know, how he's going to play artist Thomas Kinkade in three pictures -- that we almost forgot about Jensen Ackles' upcoming indie flick, 10 Inch Hero. But we were reminded of it today, and boy, are we looking forward to it.
In case you don't know, 10 Inch Hero is about the lives and loves of a bunch of snarky characters who work in a Santa Cruz sandwich shop. The sign on the door says "Help Wanted: Normal People Need Not Apply."
Sounds promising.
The 10 Inch Hero blog posted its first picture of Jensen in full makeup as Priestly, an irreverent, horny joker with a very specific style. And if you're having trouble envisioning Jared as a sensitive painter, how does Jensen as a blue-mohawked punk with eyeliner and black-painted fingernails strike you? That's something we can't imagine Dean ever putting on, but damn, Jensen pulls it off. Suddenly, we're pondering breaking out the Manic Panic and going for a hair color that does not occur in nature.
What do you think of the picture, the movie description, and Jensen's role? Is this something you're likely to see?
Comments
Yes, this is something that I would LOVE to see, When is it going to be comming out?

I went to the set of ten inch hero, jensen looks like some kind of gothic guy or something, i don't know it look weird, he had blue hair and kind of spiky and also me and some more fans saw stephanie ware on the set eating at a restaurant called mario's express , she appears to be eating with jensen, and i asked her a question about what's her name and she told me her name is stephanie ware. They had rings on their left fingers and jensen gave me an autograph and a photo and they took off in a range rover.

I am so going to watch this flick! He is a fantastic actor (I love him in SN, so why wouldn't I in 10 Inch Hero?)He looks great in that pix, heck he looks great in pretty much anything! :P can't wait for it to hit theaters!

Jensen is going to be awsome. I liked him in all of his other roles, so I'm sure I will like this.

I really want to see this movie by what i've read it sounds really good. Jensen looks really cool playing priestly with the blue mohecan and the eyeliner and painted nails.Well all in all it sounds cool.
Posted by: Sammie (SNFans.co.uk) | April 21, 2007 3:59 PM
I cannot wait to see this film! Priestly looks like he's going to be a really cool character - I reckon Jensen will be great - apparently looks are very deceptive so we'll probably love him as much as Dean!
Posted by: crystalrach | April 21, 2007 1:00 PM
I am looking forward to seeing ten inch hero soo much!!! i cant wait to see Jensen as Priestly that as one thing will make me laff soo much and i love the priestly pic going around the net right now its sooo good!!! i really hope it comes out in the UK if not ill just have to get it on DVD but defo will!!!!!!!
Jensen u rock!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Daniamgel55 | April 21, 2007 5:26 AM
I'M SO EXCITED FOR TIH!!! what better way to mix my two favourite shows, OTH and SN together, by putting some of the stars of it in a movie together? Jensen, Danneel, and also Elisabeth Harnois and Matt Barr all in 1 movie...HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?! and i dont usually go for the whole mohawk eyeliner and black nail polish look...but jensen definitely pulls it off! it just proves further that jensen looks hot no matter what!!! i can't wait for ten inch hero to come out!!!
Posted by: Samantha | April 19, 2007 9:32 PM

Love JENSEN ACKLES SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Posted by: Kayla | April 19, 2007 2:02 PM
I've read great reviews about Ten Inch Hero. It sounds like a pretty good and I can't wait to see it!
Posted by: Nikki | April 19, 2007 1:24 PM
I sooooooooo want to see that movie! I just curious when it comes out!!
Posted by: mznewbooty911 | April 19, 2007 12:32 PM
I wanna see the movie!!! Anyone knows when the movie is going to be out? It's kinda sucks to be a non-US fan; I can't go to any film festivals to watch 10 Inch Hero. T_T
Posted by: Evirruka | April 19, 2007 11:19 AM
If I wanna see it???Definitely!!!I've heard very positive reviews,the movie seems to be delicate, intelligent and funny, and Jensen's character steals every scene!!!!I'm dying to see it, and I deeply hope Jensen gets the recognition he deserves with this movie.
Posted by: Flávia | April 19, 2007 10:19 AM
The reviews i've heard have been very positive and i'm really looking forward to seeing this movie. I have my fingers crossed that it gets picked up.
Posted by: Becca | April 19, 2007 9:54 AM
jensens gonna rock the socks off the people when they watch this movie!!
Posted by: miche11e | April 19, 2007 9:45 AM
I actually kinda want to see 10 inch hero now.
Posted by: kirsten | April 19, 2007 9:31 AM
I cannot wait to see this film. I think Jensen is such a great actor (hot too) and this sounds like a movie with a really wonderful story.
Posted by: LindsayW | April 19, 2007 9:27 AM
I really want to and hope I can see this movie. Jensen has such a great range of skills, I would love to see him do so much more. He deserves it.
Posted by: Shannon | April 19, 2007 9:19 AM
Jensen Ackles is probably the most under-rated actor in Hollywood today; his willingness and ability to make this off-beat character so convincingly real only underscores this sentiment.I too am hopeful for a wide release so I can see it as soon as possible.
Posted by: donilou2 | April 19, 2007 8:08 AM
Coming to a theater near me?! Does this mean it got a distributor? YAAAAAY!
Yes, I'm totally going to go see this movie! Jensen is super-talented, so I'm sure he'll do a great job, and I love one of the actresses in the movie (Clea Duvall). It sounds completely awesome.
Posted by: Ali | April 19, 2007 7:31 AM
since I could watch this man read a phone book..its a beautiful world when we can actually see him in sensational roles like on SN and now TIH. I can only imagine Jensen doing well, he is so phenomenal in the way he portrays Dean and works with Jared/Sam. Part of me wants him out there so everyone can see and part of me wants him only for myself (and a few million of course)..I love that he is our Jensen...
Posted by: kate | April 19, 2007 7:23 AM
I live in Australia, so I'm not sure of my chances of seeing this movie, but I will def rush to a theatre near me if it is released here. Everything I have heard about this film screams underrated hit, just like SN & it's actors.
Posted by: Glyconut (Jo) | April 19, 2007 6:51 AM
I can't wait to see this movie!!!!!!! I've been looking forward to it for so long. I always enjoy seeing the different roles that Jensen plays. I LOVE a funny Jensen.
Posted by: Amy | April 19, 2007 6:51 AM
I'll definitely see this movie, I can't wait for it to come to me in the theaters or on DVD! Truth be told, Jensen as Priesty scared me to death. Those Mutton Chops! EEK! But I think Jensen can handle the role. I'll just have to watch several Supernatural episodes after, just to make sure Dean doesn't have Mutton Chops! As soem have stated, we've seen the script. This movie sounds hilarious and cute, I can't wait for it!
Posted by: Nancy | April 19, 2007 6:36 AM
Jensen is already getting great reviews for his role in this film, which comes as no surprise to his growing legion of fans. I will be doing everything in my power to get to see it - but it all hinges on what distribution it gets outside the US!
Posted by: KatyM | April 19, 2007 6:20 AM
From what I've read the film and Jensen have received rave reviews at the Phoenix Film Fest. Jensen reminds me and alot of my SN friends of Johnny Depp. He has a great future ahead of him no matter what he endeavors to do.
Posted by: Anonymous | April 19, 2007 5:26 AM
I'm totally looking forward to seeing this movie! I'm very curious about Priestly... I think Jensen is very talented and this time he's gonna give us a big surprise :D
Posted by: Lynn | April 19, 2007 4:38 AM
I've heard so much about this movie and everything i've heard has been (thankfully!) excellent. I'm really hoping that it will be released in Aus (being on the bottom of the world isn't helpful with picking up good indie films) because Jensen is not only an amazing actor but the prospect of seeing him with a blue moehawk pulling off the punk look is one that almost makes me run for the airport.
Posted by: Bec | April 19, 2007 4:18 AM
i have to see this film i have been waiting for it for ever and i bet jensen is awasome
Posted by: sian | April 19, 2007 4:15 AM
I can't wait to see the movie, I heard wonderful things about it, the fact that Jensen was great in it doesn't surprise me, he is such a talented actor he would be good in any role.
Posted by: Monica | April 19, 2007 3:49 AM
i cant wait to see that film !!! i'm sure it's gonna be fantastic ,cos Jensens role is so much different than before (Dean,Ben and Alec) hopefully everybody likes that movie !!
Posted by: Anonymous | April 19, 2007 3:02 AM
I really want to see this film but probably won't have much chance as im in the UK. There are loads of Jensen fans that would love to see him in this role cos its so different. I just hope it gets a good distributor and gets put on a more general release!
Posted by: rachel | April 19, 2007 2:51 AM
Jensen looks so good as a punk! I thought i'd never see him like that. Jensen is so talented in his acting. I'd like to see the movie but it's coming out straight to dvd right? I live in Australia and don't know if it will come here, but i'll find a way to watch it! Love you Jensen!
Posted by: Sonia | April 19, 2007 2:34 AM
I really hope this movie gets a distribution deal, I have read so many reviews that say great things about it and sounds like it would do well in the theaters! Jensens performance was excellent from what I've read and he totally deserves the recognition for his great ability to take on a character and completly make it come to life and capture your attention, thats what top notch actors do and Jensen is one of them.
Posted by: stephanie | April 19, 2007 1:45 AM
i can't wait to see that movie !! i'm sure it's gonna be awesome,because Jensens role is so much different than before (Dean,Alec and Ben) hopefully everybody likes that movie !!!
Posted by: I_LOVE_DEAN | April 19, 2007 1:33 AM
i can't wait to see Jensen on that movie ! i'm sure it's gonna be great,because Jensens role is so much different than the other (Dean,Ben and Alec)roles !! i hope everybody likes that movie.
Posted by: anna | April 19, 2007 1:26 AM
This movie looks really awesome, i was able to read a few scenes and i seriously can't wait to see this movie. Jensen does an awesome job pulling off the punk rocker look. kool hawk
Posted by: sabrina | April 19, 2007 1:22 AM
Jensen is so versatile - I personally can't wait to see him in this movie, in a role so different than Dean in Supernatural, which he also portrays beautifully.
Posted by: Van | April 19, 2007 1:19 AM
i really think it fantastic hope
Posted by: Shante | April 19, 2007 1:18 AM
I have read the comments from objective Jensen fans that were not expecting much from this film, but were more than pleasantly surprised. So Iam looking forward to seeing it.
Posted by: Dee Reeves | April 19, 2007 1:13 AM
Initial reviews from persons that have seen this at film festivals have been very positive, and I'm looking forward to supporting it too. This further exemplifies the wonderful talents of Jensen Ackles, which are often overlooked while focus is placed on his good looks instead. Jensen has the amazing ability to not only act, but to transform into the character he portrays. Alec/Ben, Jason Teague, Dean, his Devour character and now Priestly are all uniquely identifiable, each with their own personalities, tone and mannerisms. He is an amazing actor!
I wish Jensen and this movie lots of good fortune!
Posted by: Mousitsa | April 19, 2007 1:10 AM
I really hope that Ten Inch Hero gets picked up to be shown in movie theatres. All the things I've read about the movie are positive and it sounds like an amazing movie. I'm excited to see Jensen in his new...look...especially that colorful hair and kilt! I Never thought makeup, multiple piercings, tatoos, and artificially colored hair could look so hot on someone...
Posted by: Anonymous | April 19, 2007 1:08 AM
Can't wait 4 both flims!!!
Posted by: Jay | April 19, 2007 1:01 AM
I can't wait to see it! It's killing me that I can't wish myself out to the west coast and catch one of those festivals. @___@
Posted by: Meredith Milewicz | April 19, 2007 12:57 AM
I'm very excited about TIH. It sounds like Jensen really worked hard to make the character engaging and memorable. He really is very talented. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves some day.
Posted by: JustMe | April 19, 2007 12:38 AM
I hope the movie manages to snag a distributor and gets a release in theatres. It sounds really sweet and funny. It will be great to see Jensen in such a different role. He is so talented, he deserves recognition for more than just the fact that he's beautiful.
Posted by: Emily | April 18, 2007 11:37 PM
I'm really hoping this film gets a distribution deal so people can see it. It sounds delightful, I've read some of the script and it sounds hilarious and sweet.
Posted by: Anonymous | April 18, 2007 12:42 PM
Ten Inch Hero sounds really cute and apparently Jensen is awesome in it. As always.
I hope this movie ends up getting a distribution deal so I can see it on the big screen. I really can't wait to see it.
Posted by: fangirl | April 18, 2007 12:39 PM
I would love to see this movie. Those that have seen it have said what a great little movie it is and Jensen's acting is right up there, as usual. Here's to Jensen getting noticed for that great talent he has and not just for his great looks.
Posted by: hermitme | April 18, 2007 8:28 AM
Everything I've read about this film sounds fantastic...a little like Empire Records in a sandwich shop. Unfortunately I live in a small town and probably won't get to see it until it's out on video. But I'll certainly see it as soon as I get the chance!
Posted by: Emily | April 17, 2007 8:28 PM
=) It sounds interesting. Jensen is deff a bonus though. I can't wait to see it, INDIE FILMS<3
Posted by: Megz | April 17, 2007 7:59 PM
I cannot WAIT to see this movie. I think Jensen looks frakking awesome. Funky sideburns AND a goatee? *faints* Not to mention the eyeliner, fauxhawk, piercings and nail polish. The description of the movie sounds awesome, but having Jensen in it is just added auper-bonus!
Posted by: Malevolent | April 17, 2007 7:49 PM
The people who saw it at the Phoenix Film Festival said that it was so funny and Jensen did a great job:so yeah I want to see this movie, absolutely.
