June 15 (UPI) -- The Jonas Brothers have announced plans to switch venues for six of the fraternal pop music trio's upcoming concerts.
The new Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour shows will take place on the same late summer dates and in the same cities as the original ones were scheduled, but current purchases will be refunded and new tickets need to be bought for the updated venues.
Affected shows are to take place in Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; Tinley Park, Ill.; Detroit; Dallas and Los Angeles.
"Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans," the band said in a social media post.
"We're making some venue changes, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the same dates in the same cities," the musicians added. "We're pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we've ever done."
The group is also set to perform at the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Special in New York next month.

Garrett Hedlund: 'Barron's Cove' dad is haunted by the past

Photo courtesy of Well Go USA NEW YORK, June 15 (UPI) -- Tulsa King, Country Strong and Friday Night Lights star Garrett Hedlund says that, at the heart of his new crime thriller, Barron's Cove, is a flawed, but loving father with deep sense of self-doubt. "My son was nearing on 2 years old when I read the script," Hedlund, 40, told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "What I realized was Caleb's underbelly through the whole film was him wondering if he was enough as a father and I thought it was so tender and so sweet that a man that had done such badness in his life and had this kind of haunted past, made all these mistakes, was so genuinely wondering if he was enough," he said. "We're so familiar with seeing kids wondering if they're enough for their parents, but I don't see as many parents wondering if they're enough for their children." Now available on video-on-demand platforms, the film was written and directed by newcomer Evan Ari Kelman. It follows Caleb (Hedlund), a grieving father with organized crime connections who kidnaps Ethan (Christian Convery), the spoiled boy he believes is responsible for his young son Barron's death. Dante Hale plays Barron, while Hamish Linklater plays Lyle, the local politician who coldly adopts Ethan just to improve his popularity with voters, and Brittany Snow plays Jackie, Caleb's heartbroken ex-wife. Hedlund said he was a fan of Christian's Netflix show, Sweet Tooth, and enjoyed sharing scenes with him, even though most were emotionally intense, with Caleb torturing and terrifying the child to find out exactly what happened to his own. "He's a talented actor. He's got an illuminated future ahead of him. He's been working steadily. He knows his stuff. He's got an arsenal," Hedlund said. "He's got a tool shed of everything that he needs and is well-equipped for any journey, so he and I got to just sit back in between takes and have fun." Christian's tech-obsessed character, however, simply radiated "entitlement" as he is questioned about how Barron ended up tragically tied to train tracks between his school and his home, Hedlund emphasized. "The lack of empathy is very interesting," he said, pointing to how Christian, like some real-life kids, doesn't seem to understand the word "no" or respect others because there are no consequences to his actions. "If you look at it through that moral lens, that a kid in this day and age, in this generation, with screens and monitors and everything, if they're so consumed with that and that's what life is, they have no awareness of the impact of their actions," he added. "To them, there's nothing dissimilar to a video game." No matter what the role is, Hedlund said he tries to give it 100 percent of his effort, then leaves it behind when it's time to move on to the next job. "I had a pretty good idea of what I was doing it for, what attracted me to the film, whose hands I was in and, then, what they would allow me to do. So, I just tried to elevate everything that was on the page," Hedlund said about Barron's Cove. "When you feel like you've done something or relate just a fragment of what a guy like this would express as he's going through such events, you're able to put it down, focus on the next day," he added. "I would struggle more to put it down had I shorted myself on screen every day or been too afraid to express an emotion. But, I love these films and, no matter if it's a thriller, I still always look at it like it's any other drama." Tramell Tillman, Raúl Castillo and Stephen Lang co-star.

Reza Diako: Philip filled with desperation, desire in 'Chosen' S5

Photo courtesy of HillTop Entertainment NEW YORK, June 15 (UPI) -- Reading Lolita in Tehran, The Persian Version and The Diplomat actor Reza Diako says his character Philip, Jesus Christ's apostle, is still grieving the loss of his friend, John the Baptist, and searching for a father figure in The Chosen Season 5, which began streaming on Prime Video Sunday. "Biblically, he is at the point where, in the text, he asks about, 'Where is the father?' It's a small phrase, but, for me, it sort of was the foundation of Philip's journey," Diako told UPI in a recent Zoom interview. "It's been almost like looking for a transcendent father figure constantly, but also wanting material representation of it in this world." Written and directed by Dallas Jenkins, the latest episodes of the hit, faith-based drama follows the events of Holy Week, leading up to the Last Supper, the eve of Jesus' crucifixion in Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago. Leading the cast are Jonathan Roumie as Jesus and Luke Dimyan as his betrayer Judas, while Shahar Isaac, Paras Patel and Elizabeth Tabish play Peter, Matthew and Mary Magdalene, respectively. "What's interesting in the Last Supper is that we have these moments where we remember all the disciples are human," Diako said. "[Philip] cannot accept that he lost John and, now, he's going to be losing Jesus, as well," the actor added. "That desperation and desire was really lovely to be able to portray." Although Season 5 shows Jesus preparing his followers to continue preaching the word of their God after Jesus' execution, the mood on the production's set was respectful, but not somber, thanks to the closeness and good humor of the cast and crew. "It's really beautiful because I don't have brothers and, now, i suddenly have all these brothers and, also, multiple other sisters and aunts and uncles," Diako said. "It's so lovely to get to know them over time, outside of this historical piece," he said, noting breaks between takes might find the actors listening to music, playing video games, napping or challenging each other with trivia questions. "There's so much going on," he added. "I just love seeing the family and the humanity of it underneath. Everyone enjoys being together. It's a genuine connection." Season 6, which is in production now, will chronicle Jesus' public torture and murder at the hands of politicians who feel threatened by his popularity. Diako expects this cast and crew, who know each other so well, to continue to support each other as the story grows more intense. "I spent a lot of time with the disciples, so we know each other like brothers and it's cool because everyone knows how everyone else is, personally, so we get to laugh and get to have fun," he said "But then, also, when there are emotional moments, without even having to speak, there's like an unspoken understanding of how that person might need a moment to prepare or drop from something or decompress," Diako added. "Here, you can just literally be you and feel accepted like a family."
