February 3, 2010 - New York I Love You with Hayden Christensen - Steal Your Heart Review - "New York I Love You" begins with a sweet and humorous encounter and stars Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson and Andy Garcia. The comic pace and a zippy romantic music score sets us up for fun from the start and you can't help but smile at the lightheartedness of the short story directed by Chinese director Jiang Wen.
"Steal Your Heart"
You have to think fast on your feet if you work the New York City streets as a pickpocket but Ben (Hayden Christensen) is about to find out how things can also come full circle when one life literally touches another as he lifts a stranger's wallet.
Later, a beautiful girl (Rachel Bilson) coming out of a photobooth catches his eye and he's instantly intrigued and follows her to a bar in Tribecca. Whatever his plan, things seems to go south as the girl's older boyfriend (Andy Garcia) joins them at the bar. When he is out-maneuvered by the girl's older and even more accomplished hustler boyfriend (Andy Garcia), Ben's love life is served a twist of fate he isn't expecting. Only in New York.
Hayden Christensen gives a charming turn as the thief with a one track mind who can't seem to get out of hustle mode even when seriously attracted to a pretty girl. Rachel Bilson as Molly plays it light but vulnerable as the mistress who wants more in a relationship than just an affair. Andy Garcia as Garry is perfectly smarmy and confident in his abilities to take control of any situation. New York, I Love You is out on DVD now.

In Whistler, Usher, the Fray, and Jully Black are lined up to perform. The mountain resort north of Vancouver is no stranger to celebrities, and will likely draw its own, long roster of A-list visitors.
"I've heard some pretty big names coming here. It'll be good A-listers, put it that way,'' Fedyck says. He's been told that Hayden Christensen of Star Wars fame, and rapper Sean "Puffy'' Combs are on the Games guest list. Source

January 27, 2010 - Star Wars Music Video - From Star Wars Twitter - Franz Ferdinand's "Take Me Out" - This video reminds me of Hayden's appearance on the Jay Leno Show in 2005 just after the premiere of Revenge of the Sith. Tracey Ullman asked Hayden, "Have you danced?" and when he said, "No, I can't say I have", she asked him what does your agent tell you to say. He said, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I can do anything". LOL Well, we at least get to see Anakin being a rock star and sing and dance in this music video accompanied by Obi Wan on guitar, Mace Windu on bass and Yoda on drums. Enjoy....
January 27, 2010 - 'Star Wars' Saga Goes 3D - George Lucas has had his sights set on a 3D remake since before the release of the last film in the saga, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, in 2005. Now it seems very possible that the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequels will be heading for a technical conversion due in large part to the success of Avatar and advances in the 3D process.
'Star Wars' films set for 'Avatar' style makeover - 'Star Wars Episode II' stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen could be on the big screen again in polished versions of the cult films. Lucas said that he had initially thought of the idea after finishing the last Star Wars film, 'The Revenge of the Sith', in 2005. But he was convinced about the idea after watching blockbuster 'Avatar', which picked up two Golden Globes last week. "We've been looking for years to do this but the technology hasn't been there. I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen," Lucas said.
'Avatar', which cost more than £300m to make, has shattered box-office records and is on the verge of taking £1 billion at the box office since its release. "I liked it. I make movies like that, so I can appreciate what James Cameron went through to do it. It worked well in 3D and I'm happy it's so successful," he added.
Lucas, 65, is planning to begin work on converting the 'Star Wars' films when he finishes [Red Tails] later this year. Since its release in 1977, 'Star Wars' has become a cult phenomenon, having grossed more than £2 billion pounds. Source
January 23, 2010 - Charity Efforts for Haiti - It's something that's been hard to ignore in the last week so I hope no one minds something off topic. I've added the links above to the Text Haiti Campaign from the Red Cross and a link to Partners in Health two organizations who were already in Haiti before the earthquake and need help. These are just suggestions and everyone should research the charity of their choice for themselves before they give to make sure they are legitimate and can get help to victims of this disaster as quickly as possible. I've added a link to Charity Navigator which gives you information on the financial health and efficiency ratings of different organizations responding in Haiti to help you make an informed decision and find a charity you feel you can trust. The links and banners will remain up on the main page throughout the weekend. Aid will be needed long after the last telethons and appeals for help have sounded.
January 20, 2010 - The Chase - Recently, I posted the first news about Hayden's rumored project called "The Chase". There is some confusion about two of John McTiernan's movies currently in development. "Run" and "The Chase", have similar story elements but it's being reported that "Run" has now been renamed "The Chase" even though they are two different movies from different studios.
"The Chase", from Arclight Films, is rumored to star Hayden Christensen in a story of a lamborghini test driver turned skilled getaway driver trying to escape his past and the corrupt cop who is out to get him.
"Run", from Pierce/Williams Entertainment, has a more international theme about an Interpol agent who uncovers a major conspiracy while pursuing a murder suspect in Argentina. Thomas Jane is rumored to star.
Both movies involve conspiracies, fast cars and elaborate car chase scenes. It looks like "The Chase" with Hayden Christensen (rumored) may be set to go before cameras first. If Hayden stars, it will bring one of his real life interests in fast cars and road rallies onto the big screen. Hayden did his own Lamborgini test drive on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Nevada in an exciting showdown on wheels with Dennis Rodman in 2005's Bullrun Rally.

January 10, 2010 - Toutlecine.com is reporting that Hayden may have been cast in Arclight Films' "The Chase" being directed by John McTiernan. Hayden would play a precision skilled getaway driver caught between a promise to his sister to stop breaking the law and the corrupt cop who is obsessed with luring him back into the game so he can put him behind bars.

When sexy, mysterious DAISY offers Scalpel a job taking her billionaire father for an illegal but highly lucrative joyride, Scalpel resists the temptation until Ray tries to get to him by terrorizing Samantha. Realizing the only way to escape Ray is to leave town forever, Scalpel accepts Daisy's offer. It's the only way to raise the stake to leave, even though he knows she isn't who she claims to be. In fact, Daisy is working for Ray and the job is a frame up, but running out of choices and time there's only one option left for Scalpel...
To square off with Ray for a showdown on wheels."

January 7, 2010 - Vanishing on Seventh Street - Reading Twitter the other day, I came across a tweet saying the official movie site for Hayden's new film 'Vanishing on Seventh Street' would be ready to go soon. I wonder if the website will shed any more light on the movie that is already shrouded in mystery. Very little beyond the synopsis is known about the story and few production and news stills have come from the filming which took place in Detroit in October and November 2009.
Following a mysterious blackout where most of the population vanishes, five people will fight for survival as they discover shadowy figures are the cause of the disappearances.
I'm starting to think the actors (Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo) actually vanished from the set before too many people even realized they were in town doing a movie. If nothing else, this shows that Brad Anderson is an efficient director but he is also a master of suspense and I have a feeling we will likely continue to be in suspense with trickles of information until the movie comes out later this year. You know, I kind of like it! Kind of....but the waiting is hard to do.
