Probably lucky we don’t have an active comments section, assuming the reaction to this news.
“Star Wars” alum Hayden Christensen has inked a two-film deal with Emmett/Furla/Oasis, the [mostly] direct-to-vid action label that’s also managed to coax Bruce Willis, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and John Cusack to it’s product listing in recent years.
First cab off the rank for cinema’s Anakin Skywalker is “First Kill”, a Bruce Willis-starrer that’ll be released by Lionsgate Premiere. Steve C.Miller will direct from a Nick Gordon script.
According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Willis and Christensen play good guys in the flick.
…centers on a police chief (Willis) who tries to solve a case that involves a bank robber holding a young boy hostage. Christensen will play the man whose son is taken hostage after he accidentally witnesses a thug shooting a bank thief while on a hunting trip. The father races against a ticking clock to rescue his son, while at the same time the police chief begins to wonder whether or not he played a role in the bank heist.
Christensen, whose other credits include “American Heist” and “Takers”, got his break playing a young Darth Vader in George Lucas’s “Star Wars” prequels.
