Jason and the Argonauts (2000 film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jason and the Argonauts is a 2-part TV movie, directed by Nick Willing and produced by Hallmark Entertainment. It is very loosely based on the Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts. Jason London as Jason, Jolene Blalock as Medea.
The TV movie's biggest departure from the source material concerns the tacking on of a happy ending. To cremate the dead Argus, his corpse is burned with the Argo, thus eliminating the event of the mast of the ship falling on Jason to kill him. Then Jason marries Medea and they live happily ever after as king and queen of Thessaly, while Atalanta remains sad about her and Jason not being together.
