Christensen Weighs Disgraced Journo Pic Fri May 17, 4:38 AM ET By Claude Brodesser
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Hayden Christensen, now onscreen as a young Darth Vader in "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones," is in negotiations to plays a disgraced journalist in the fact-based drama "Shattered Glass."
The Lions Gate Films project tells the story of Stephen Glass, who was briefly one of the most sought-after reporters in Washington, D.C. A 25-year-old rising star who contributed to Rolling Stone and was a staff writer for The New Republic, Glass made up sources, quotes, and often, entire stories. It was later discovered that during his nearly three-year tenure at the Republic, he made up portions of 27 of his 41 stories.
"Glass" would be Christensen's next film after "Clones."
Craig Baumgarten, one of the film's producers, found the original story on Glass' misdeeds in a Vanity Fair article, and brought it to scribe Billy Ray ("Hart's War"), who wrote the script and will make his directing debut on the project.
