Tribune Media Services By May and June of 1999, after Jackson gained fame three Daytime Emmys) as Lucky on "General Hospital," and just before Carly Pope became a teen favorite in the WB series "Popular" the two young actors headed to Toronto to film a movie then called "Purple Haze." Renamed Trapped in a Purple Haze," the film, produced by Thomas Carter ("Don Ring: Only in America") and directed by Eric Laneuville ("IH Fly Away"), premieres April 17 at 8 p.m. (Eastern) on ABC. Jackson (who turns 18 in May) plays Max Hanson, an college student with close friends and a love of hockey. He's also a talented painter, a path his domineering mother (JoBeth Williams) is strongly urging him to follow, even arranging for him to study art in Paris. Feeling the pressure from his mother, and uncertain about his direction in life. Max meets a troubled young woman named Molly, played Pope, now 19. She copes with her difficult family situation by indulging in drugs, including heroin. Before long. In Max has abandoned school, his friends and his family for Molly, falling ever deeper into her world of addiction, sleazy characters and petty crime. Colm Feore ("Storm of the Century") as Max's father, Ed, who steps in to try to save his son's life. There's a line in the movie," says Pope, "where Max's dad says, 'He didn't make this choice because he's happy. He made it because he's unhappy.' That's really important to note. That's what goes on in a family situation, or if you're in a' personal situation where you're unhappy, you seek an escape route for your problems. "He has a mom who's very controlling. He seeks someone else to control him, which is interesting, too. He runs from one controlling relationship to another. At the base of it, it's unhappiness, but it's seeking a desperate alternative rather than a healthy alternative. So he experiments and gets trapped in the drug lifestyle. He does come from a good family; he does come from money; he does come from education - they're supposed to make you happy. "But coming from the relationship with his mother, which is quite filled with pressure and expectations ... it wasn't his choice to have all those things. He didn't choose to live his life that way, so he was looking for something he could be in control of, and it wound up controlling him " If Jackson were to meet Max in real life, would he have sympathy for the character? T wouldn't say he had nothing to do with it, but I would still feel sorry for him. A lot of people make bad choices, and certain things end up hurting more than others.' Making a bad decision to do drugs some people mess around with it and come out, and some people don't." Before shooting the film, both Jackson and Pope visited a clinic for recovering heroin addicts. "It's unbelievable," recalls Pope. "It's so haunting to see the expression on then-facjust completely change when they were talking about getting then-ne' -- fix. These are people who hadn't been using for years and years and years. It was like remembering the birth of their first child. It was unbelievable, the expression and elation and life in their faces, just remembering that . feeling." "From the research I did," says Jackson, "it's the most euphoric feeling you can get. it's people who don't really see what it's going to do to their lives, they're just living for that feeling. That's all they want. They don't even think it's going to end up ruining their lives." In the case of Max, Jackson attributes his fall to a lack of conviction and direction. "Kids come from much worse backgrounds than this character, and they don't do any drugs. He had a lot of money, but again, it's not about money, it's about relationships. At the same time, it's a rather weak person to have those kinds of conflicts with his parents and go to heroin. "But see, I don't think those were his reasons, really. I think his reasons were more that he didn't really have any reasons not to."' Pope signed on to the role partially because of her concerns over the increase in heroin use in her hometown of Vancouver, Canada. While the epidemic of addiction didn't touch her directly when she was in high school, she encountered people who thought they could just give it a try. " 'I can handle it. I'm not going to get addicted.' I've heard that. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say that with, not just with heroin, but with cocaine, even cigarettes or alcohol. "It's any drug where they think, 'Oh, it's just fun. It' one time. It's a special occasion.' Things like that. Then, next thing they know, it's a special occasion tomorrow." What does she hope young viewers take away from Trapped in a Purple Haze"? "I really wish that it could have been a four-paministries so that we could have done more with it. I really hope that people take away what they should from it, whether that be communication within the family, whether that be understanding and support, whether that be that drugs are really not a healthy or positive way to live your life." Jackson also sees a lack of spiritual values as contributing to young people falling prey to drugs and other temptations. That's the main reason, in my opinion, why things have gone downhill. That has to do with the 'Me Generation' of the '60s and '70s, no God to answer to with their actions. That's a huge void missing in kids' lives." rt |
