JC Chasez movie "21 and a Wakeup" premieres tonight!

JC Chasez appears in the movie "21 and a Wakeup" which has its world premiere in Chicago on October 29. The movie is the first American motion picture about the war ever allowed by the Communist government to be filmed in Vietnam at real locations where the war took place. Unlike most war movies showing the devastation of war from a foot soldiers grunt's-eye view, 21 and a Wake Up dramatizes the real life story of three young nurses' just days from returning home at the 24th Evacuation Hospital, the last major Army Hospital still operating in Vietnam. Click here to learn more about the movie and to view lots of JC Chasez photos and a movie trailer featuring JC.
