The photo shopped thing is awful. Jason is fine without all the tweaks. I don't think this movie though is a risk for Jason. Even if it fails flat, he's getting a ton of exposure from this, more so than from a Sci-Fi TV show. As you saisd. Once on the big screen, he'll be on the map for every casting director, especially in the void for young physical actors. Whatever the outcome, he'll be doing more movies.
As far as getting 'good roles' with meaty parts, he's type-cast bases off his looks sadly regardless. Even Vin Diesel who started off in "Boiler Room" only got the action roles. Hopefully "A Game of Thrones" will give him better exposure.
You're right, this movie is excepted to be bad. Jason even called Joe telling him he didn't think the script was all that, but Joe told him to go for it and try to do more with it. I don't have high expectations, but hopefully it'll only be campy. *fingers crossed*
I had to actually study it to go, oh, PS poisoning... but its' very Frazetta in the styling. I'm hoping the movie will be appropriately campy and just fun, and that it gets better reviews than Predator remake did in a London newspaper. Oh, it was pretty brutal!
