January Jones Jumps With Nicolas Cage

Just last week January Jones revealed that, while they were dating, Ashton Kutcher told her he didn’t think she’d be any good at the acting biz, and that she should call it quits.

Before making a name for herself with Mad Men, Jones had supporting roles in numerous movies including Love Actually, American Wedding, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Jones has moved past being a supporting actress, signing on for starring roles in two films in the past week.

Last week Jones signed on for Dark Castle’s Unknown White Male with Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger, and it has now been revealed that she will also be starring with Nicolas Cage in Hungry Rabbit Jumps, a dramatic thriller from Endgame Entertainment.

Jones and Cage play a married couple, with Cage becoming involved with a vigilante organization after Jones is victim to a violent attack.

The Bank Job director Roger Donaldson will be directing, with Tobey Maguire producing.

Filming is set to begin in January.

    very pretty lady. But Ashton was sooo right. She is a really bad actress. I love Mad Men. I cringe when she delivers her lines. She is laughable. Cannot everyone see this?! I think the producers were looking for a Grace Kelly sort of person. She may look like Grace Kelly but Lord! the girl's acting stinks. She cannot portray Grace Kelly by simply looking like her. It takes acting ability. Every actress on the show shines compared to poor January Jones.

    I completely agree karlakay. She is the worst. At first I wondered if the director hired for that her vacant vapidness maybe to grasp the character. Cause let's face it, Betty Draper is a dingy, pretty face at best. But I feel like she could have a FEW more layers right? Anyway, her delivery of lines is unnatural and her movements are awkward. Take that scene where she breaks a chair out of "frustration." She could have taken that scene to a place of real anger. Instead it looked like audience participation night at the local dinner theater. Basically, she couldn't be worse than if she looked at the camera.
