Patrik-Ian PolkJensen Atwood makes the AfterElton.com Hot 100
We won't reveal the full (and oh, how full it is...) AfterElton.com Hot 100 list until June 2nd, but in the meantime we'll be leaking a man a day to whet your whistles. Today's hottie is actor Jensen Atwood, whom most folks know from gay shows Noah's Arc and Dante's Cove. I actually met Atwood earlier this week at the NewNowNext Awards, and he's just as handsome in person as you'd hope (and a sweetheart, to boot). I also learned from Atwood and Noah's Arc creator Patrik-Ian Polk that Jensen will definitely appear in the recently-wrapped Noah's Arc movie (it was up in the air for a while), which is great news for fans. Last year Atwood placed on the list at #43. To find out where he lands this year, check back on June 2nd! Submitted by on Wed, 2008-05-21 11:42. It's official: The Noah's Arc movie is on its way
A little bird who nests at Logo (AfterElton's parent company) just gave us word that the gay network has officially greenlit a movie based on the fan-favorite gay show Noah's Arc, which told the story of a group of gay African-American friends navigating life and love in the city. Despite being a groundbreaking show for visibility of gay men (and further, gay men of color), the show was canceled after two seasons, leaving its fans unsure of what happened with the boys. Looks like we're going to find out! The film's working title is Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom (I guess a shark was too dangerous?) and we're told it is a wedding-themed film (they won't tell us whose wedding...) that will pick up where the series left off at the cliffhanger season finale. Production begins in March and newly-out lead Darryl Stephens (Noah), Doug Spearman (Chance), Rodney Chester (Alex) and Christian Vincent (Ricky) are set to return, with other casting to be announced soon. Series creator Patrik-Ian Polk had this to say about the announcement: "I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to take this cult hit TV show to the big screen. With the exception of the many 70's hit shows to get the film treatment, very few television series get to make the move to movie theatres. It's a bold experiment, but I've come to expect nothing less from the MTV Networks/Logo brand. And I look forward to continuing the funny and dramatic sagas of Noah and his friends as we pick up where we left off in the dramatic second season cliffhanger. It's been a little wait for the fans, but I promise they won't be disappointed. 'Jumping The Broom' definitely takes this story to the next level in a big way.” Logo President Brian Graden had this to say: "We're proud that our first flagship series will now be Logo's first original movie. Logo and the show’s fans have been with Noah and his friends from the beginning and we're excited to see that Patrik-Ian Polk will be continuing their stories on the big screen." But that's not all: Polk and Stephens also wanted to deliver the news in person via a special video message just for AfterElton.com readers. Check it out below!
