March 13, 2012 - Hayden Christensen's Previous Rumored Project Mandrake Back in the News - Hayden was once thought to be attached to Mandrake the Magician aka Jax of Heart. The movie went through a few movie studios like Disney, Baldwin Entertainment, Hyde Park and then stalled but Warner Bros. has been in negotiations for a few years and now has the rights and is interested in giving it a 21st Century contemporary treatment. Atlas Entertainment will be producing. I was always intrigued by the earlier synopsis of a street magician/illusionist and escape artist fighting evil and a story with international locations. No cast is being mentioned with this latest announcement but a new script and story is being developed.
Warner Bros. Plots 'Mandrake the Magician' Movie (Exclusive) - "Mandrake is one of those characters that Hollywood has long tried to nail down in a viable movie adaptation.....Warners now wants to give the character a 21st century makeover, the same way it did for Sherlock Holmes, and is on the hunt for new writers."

Adhyayan-Giselle in Shekhar Suman's Heartless - "Adhyayan, who is really excited to work with Giselle, is slated to play Hayden Christensen's part in the adaptation. The filmmakers are in touch with the Weinstein Company to buy the rights of the original film to avoid any copyright issues later on.

Adhyayan, who has just wrapped up shooting for Milind Ukey's Dehradun Diaries, added that the film supposed to start last year, but got stalled. Now they are waiting for Nina's new draft of the script."

A psychological thriller, Awake tells the story of a man undergoing heart surgery while experiencing a phenomenon called 'anaesthetic awareness', which leaves him conscious but paralysed throughout the operation. The film was not screened in advance for critics. Hayden Christensen plays a capital investment firm chief, while Jessica Alba is his girlfriend.

Animated Past: The great-grandson of none other than groundbreaking sci-fi novelist H.G. Wells (you know, the guy who wrote a little book entitled War of the Worlds), Wells broke into the animation game as a supervising animator on 1989's Who Framed Roger Rabbit and got his first directing job on 1991's An American Tail: Fievel Goes West."
"Live Action Debut: Based on the family connection, it's perhaps no surprise that Wells was hired to direct a new live-action version of his great-grandfather's classic novel The Time Machine in 2002."
"After a few years away from the director's chair, he returned with last year's motion-capture feature Mars Needs Moms and is currently attached to helm The Diplomat, starring such flesh-and-blood performers as Hayden Christensen and Joseph Fiennes." [Source: TelevisionWithoutPity.com]

January 15, 2012 - One of Hayden's Movies Made Brad Pitt Cry - Well, he wouldn't be alone. Any Hayden Christensen fan who's seen "Life as a House" probably had tissues handy too. When asked for the February issue of W Magazine which movie made Brad cry, he told the story of being sick in bed while travelling and watching "Life as a House" and being moved to tears. (Thanks to Linda for sending in this little gem.)
Brad Pitt: "I'm not much of a crier at films, but there was one...I was coming back from Cabo on my way to Montreal, and I got hit with Montezuma's revenge. I could not keep anything down. I was stuck in a hotel room with no windows and was just doing what you do when you're sick. On day two of this extremely painful episode, I watched a film called Life as a House. Kevin Kline is an architect and learns he has terminal cancer. He's estranged from his teenage son and decides they're going to finish this house. I don't know if it would still hit me the same way, but on my 27th hour of pure wretchedness, this movie just crushed me. I should watch it again to see if it has the same effect."

The title will be released February 20, 2012 in the UK.

Character: Gaborn Synopsis
"In this big budget film, the part of Gaborn is endearing. He is an idealistic young man living an ideal life in a dark world until he starts to question the status quo, whether it is ethical to take away the strengths of others for your own whim. As his world is thrust into chaos, Gaborn struggles to live up to his own ideals and it gets him into an epic conflict that threatens the entire world." Source
Press Release
..."Prince Gaborn, a strong young idealist that falls head-over-heels in love with Princess Iome. He is a warrior, so he has to be lean and he's going to get some magical treatments that are created by brands on his body. So he basically has to look good with his shirt off. There we boiled it down to Zak Efron, Hayden Christensen or Kellan Lutz. Now we want to see what the fans have to say." Full Press Release

December 31, 2012 - Jumper 2 with Hayden Christensen Still on Some Minds - Here's a wish for the New Year. How about a Jumper 2 sequel.

December 31, 2012 - Shattered Glass with Hayden Christensen in the News - There have been several articles reporting the news that Stephen Glass has appealed his denial to practice law in the State of California and naturally many of those articles reference the movie Shattered Glass.

Later, Glass passed the New York and California bar exams after graduating from Georgetown University School of Law. Shattered Glass continues to be a movie shown and discussed with students in journalism classes today. As a movie, it continues to draw critical acclaim for director/writer Billy Ray, actors Hayden Christensen and Peter Sarsgaard for portrayals of true to life suspense and drama. You will find a link to one of the articles below and also the trailer for Shattered Glass.

On the court, Hayden and Pete Sampras paired up against Milos Raonic and Aleksandra Wosniak for a doubles exhibition match . The crowd knew the Darth Vader actor was good at swinging a lightsaber but most were surprised at how adept Hayden (a former junior tennis player) was at also swinging a tennis racket. Hayden paused with a big smiled before one of his serves to acknowledge a fan in the audience who shouted, "Hayden! Use the Force!".

Every friendly tennis exhibition needs a little handicap so the mixed doubles players tried some handholding tennis during a serve and follow-up point. Hayden tossed the ball for partner Aleksandra's serve while holding hands and still holding hands Hayden went along for the ride on the point after. Meanwhile, Milos and Genie Bouchard ducked and showed their backsides in case there were any wild serves from Hayden and Aleksandra.

So far there are no news article or blog reports about Hayden in Germany so I'll keep my eyes open. Below is a post from a German fan forum about seeing Hayden at Gamescom. Please keep in mind this is translated from German to English with Google so there could be some inaccuracies.
08.20.2011, 01:47 PM by Moran - For me, the Gamescom 2011 was the first and last! I never go back to Cologne, which are simply no match for the onslaught and the halls are all too confusing. But a great moment I had when I was in the Swtor snake, a developer Bioware came with a man to the people from the snake and asked everyone, "Have you seen the movies?" and "Do You Know This Man?". No one knew him and when he came to me and he asked me, I looked up and said only a brief Anakin?. This was Hayden Christensen and nobody except me has known him at the beginning xD. But unfortunately I only get a poster and no previous access to the game.

An American Embassy attache' in Budapest, finds himself caught in the middle of an investigation that is just about to expose a traitor when his young daughter witnesses a murder that sends his family into hiding.
"I recently acquired a farm north of Toronto," Christensen announces, "and I just bought a big excavator and a dump truck and a bobcat, construction toys. I plan to start building soon. I can't wait to go out there and move dirt and get my hands dirty." He bought his heavy-duty vehicles at an auction in Southern Ontario, where to his immense pleasure the people were far more intent on ogling gear than celebrities. "It's currently a hay farm, but I want it to be a working farm. I want to fill the barn with livestock. First pigs, then cattle and horses." Source: EnRoute Magazine.
"He made his name as the young Darth Vader, but for Hayden Christensen the next year launches his career on a new intergalactic trajectory.

With such a fantastic future, how will he keep it real?"
