After working with a coach & the director for three days, she took the screen test. This occurred during the days off between Lillith Fair and her recent Papillon tour. Jewel did extremely well. This screen test was done with Leonardo DiCaprio, who was originally cast as the lead. Leonardo pulled out because he needed time off & this caused the project to nearly get scrapped. (Without Leo's name, the financing pulled out.) A deal was struck with Fox shortly after that. The budget was cut considerably but it will still be a good project. As stated in that press release, Jewel will play the love interest of two young men whose lives change during the denouncement and aftermath of a year of fierce guerrilla warfare on the Kansas-Missouri border. Tobey Maguire is attached to co-star in the $35 million Fox project, and the studio is supposedly talking to Matt Damon (Courage Under Fire) for the other lead. Ang Lee (The Ice Storm) will direct. Right now, filming is scheduled to begin in March, but it may begin earlier. Jewel is cast as the female lead, but its a smaller role than the two male leads. I have no idea how this will effect her studio plans & release of a second album. It will obviously effect touring plans for early to mid 1998, but a lot remains to be figured out at this point. Jewel is very excited about this project & we should all wish her the best. :-) Thats everything I know about it presently. Best wishes!

Foolish Games/You Were Meant for Me is currently at 8 on the billboard singles chart. and has been on the charts for an amazing 48 weeks. according to billboard online though, if it remains on the charts for another 12 weeks then it will beat the "Macarena" for the longest-running single... It seems pretty likely that it will hang on for another 12 weeks to me. :) - --Lisa ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 17:30:19 -0400 (EDT) From: PENNY16161@aol.com Subject: jewel at rollingstone online Rolling Stone Magazine is having a poll for the best bands of the year.
