November 7, 2008 - More About Mona Lisa aka Shame - Hayden's possible next project, a remake of Mona Lisa, has been in the works for some time. In 2005 the working title for the remake was Shame with the writer/director Larry Clark courting Rosario Dawson to star. Well, as things can and often do change many times before a movie reaches the big screen, we'll have to wait out the casting to see what happens today in 2008.
IMDB has a listing for Shame which was updated in October 2008. I'll be adding a link to the right column under Message Boards so we can keep an eye on news and the status of the film. According to IMDB the release date is scheduled for 2011. You can also visit the original film's IMDB page for more info on the story and the theatrical trailer.
Synopsis

November 7, 2008 - New Project in the works for Hayden - Screen Daily is reporting today that Hayden is in talks to star in the upcoming remake of Handmade Films "Mona Lisa" set to begin filming in New York, March 2009. The movie, budgeted at $8m, will announce more casting soon.
Hayden would play George, a small time chauffeur in New York city, a role which won Bob Hoskins an Oscar nomination for the film which debuted in 1986. The original film took place in London. Hayden would play a younger version of the Hoskins character as the story is reworked, updated and set in New York.
"The original film still stands up. HandMade has a lot of little gems in its library, but not all of them will stand up for a remake," said Michael Ryan, HandMade Films International director. "A lot of people do remember the original movie and it's a great story. The original film was a long time ago, and it did huge business in the UK. A lot of people remember it as an iconic film but never even saw the original."
Ryan said Christensen, who is currently shooting Bone Deep for Screen Gems, was at the right career point for such a meaty role. "The character has got a tough edge to him but he's got to have some of that vulnerability," Ryan said.
