The writer of Wave, David Rothmiller has just been in touch with an update on the project " Jewel's still in negotiations with Goldie Hawn's Cosmic Entertainment to produce. She's talked about it in the press, so it's not hush-hush. Goldie may direct, nothing sure yet. Film's about the difficulties in a mother/son relationship when the mother is released from prison.

Thursday 3rd July 2003: Wave Update:
Having made an impressive debut in Ang Lee’s Ride With the Devil, singer and poet Jewel is looking to expand her acting CV. She acquired a script last year called Wave, an ensemble piece which centres on the reunion of a mother
and her estranged son in a small island town. "It's a pretty serious film, but it's written well," she said. "It's pretty lighthearted [and] at the same time, it tackles some very serious subjects. It's about a young male character's relationship with his mom. [She] went to jail to protect him
from his father, and when she gets out, their relationship unfolds. He realises that things weren't quite as they seemed, and it's about them working their relationship out." Jewel plans to play the male character's girlfriend, and she said her production company is currently talking to
Goldie Hawn about directing the flick. "We're trying to get the deal made," she added. "It's really a much different kind of business. It takes a lot of time to get things done." The singer envisions the mother's role being played by a Shirley MacLaine-type. As for the male lead, she said she's
pretty torn about the casting. "There's a lot of great mysterious brooding young actors right now."
