Jonathan goes road-tripping
You can look forward to a laugh-out-loud movie outing, filled with incidents which will keep you giggling for weeks after you’ve left the cinema.
Who doesn’t love a road-trip filled with excitement, live comedy and movie premieres along the way?
Jonathan has packed his bags and will be hitting the road for a national movie tour across South Africa this November. In his own words: “Da vat hy, boys!” Jonathan – the big-screen comedy based on the character from the record-breaking YouTube hit – will be travelling to most of SA’s cities and towns. Fans will get the opportunity to not only see his debut feature film ahead of its general cinema release, but will also be able to get up close and personal with Jonathan himself.
“Lekker boys … life happens, en dit gebeur met my ook! En dis nie altyd koue bier en sonskyn nie, soos jy sal sien in my movie! Kom kyk Jonathan die movie op die toer, nog voor enige van jou pêlle, en ‘mock’ hulle na die tyd!” he stated.
This movie marks the first comedic outing for the acclaimed producer, writer and director, Sallas de Jager. De Jager is best known for period dramas such as Verraaiers, Roepman and most recently, Free State. His new film, Jonathan, is inspired by the Internet sensation, Jonathan, of Radio Raps fame. It also heralds the big screen-debut for Rikus de Beer – the man behind the hilarious and beloved character of Jonathan.
Apart from De Beer, the film’s cast consists of a veritable who’s who of local acting giants – including revered names such as Brumilda van Rensburg, Paul Eilers, Anel Alexander, Jacques Bessenger, Eric Nobbs, Rika Sennett, Albert Pretorius, Frank Opperman, Lizz Meiring and Beate Opperman.
“South Africans can look forward to a laugh-out-loud movie outing, filled with incidents which will keep you giggling for weeks after you’ve left the cinema. Jonathan is a character that everyone can relate to in some way or another. It is a fun and very funny, but also touching, coming-of-age story – tailor-made to entertain cinema goers during the December holidays. We’re looking forward to saying ‘Hello!’ to all our fans along the road, and showing them our movie before the rest of the country!” said Sallas.
A ticket for the Jonathan roadshow offers the public a special pre-release screening of the film, as well as a live appearance by Jonathan. Bookings can be made via the standard Ster-Kinekor and Nu Metro booking outlets and standard ticket pricing applies.
Jonathan will be visiting the Nu Metro cinemas at Key West Shopping Centre on 29 November and the film releases on 2 December.
