From Vibe.Com - That’s until he uses the fight ‘force’ and opens a can of whup ass in one of the film’s most exciting fight scenes. “It was mostly me,” Christensen says of the sequence that required very little stunt help, “I had to make sure I was in decent shape so I didn’t get beat up too badly.”
Having had lots of movie fighting experience from the latter two Star Wars prequels, 29-year old actor says he was accustomed to the physical grind highs and lows shooting those scenes require. “It was a well-choreographed sequence and it was very safe. But we spent a day roughing each other up and I got to give it to him,” he laughs of the other actor in the scene.
And Christensen says once he got a hold of the Takers script, being apart of the summer action thriller was a no-brainer, because the film’s subject matter took him back to his earliest childhood dreams.
“To get the chance to make a proper action movie with big explosions?” the Canadian-born actor says. “Running around, playing cops and robbers and shooting a gun? It was totally to indulge the kid in me.”

TIFF 2010: Images And Interview Footage For Brad Anderson’s VANISHING ON 7TH STREET
One of two alumni returning to the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival, Brad Anderson returns with Vanishing On 7th Street. Once again embracing genre conventions while also turning them on their head, Anderson promises another high concept thriller with this one and for a taste has released a good sized gallery of stills as well as a lengthy EPK reel with the stars talking about the process and appeal of making the film. And it’s gotta be said: Hayden Christensen takes a lot of heat thanks to his lazy drawl of a voice but the guy is both smart and articulate when he talks about his work. Check it out below. Source

From: NBC New York - The children of the late legendary actor Christopher Reeve gathered at The Standard’s Boom Boom Room last night for a posh summer fundraising event along with good pal Hayden Christensen.
“Hayden is a good friend, so him being here is really spectacular,” Alexandra Reeve Givens, daughter of Christopher, told Niteside at the Reeve Foundation event.
“He’s actually always been very supportive and he agreed to come. He’s followed what we’ve been doing for a long time. He wanted to just lend his name to the cause. “
Christensen’s appearance at the charity event, which supported the leading organization for people living with paralysis, speaks to his character, Matthew Reeve, son of Christopher, said: “He’s been incredibly generous with his time. I mean I’ve known him for eight years, and I just asked a good friend for a favor.”

Party Pix! Hayden Christensen And Dior Host The Reeve Champion Benefit
Having a hangover on hump day is never a fun thing, but perhaps last night’s rad rager at the Boom Boom Room (sadly closed for the summer, though Le Bain still rocks on) was worth how we’re feeling right now. The party in question was the Reeve Champions Summer Party, hosted by Hayden Christensen, Alexandra and Matthew Reeve, Francesco Clark, and Elisa Lipsky-Karasz. The ticket price to the benefit helped the Christopher + Dana Reeve Foundation, and paid tribute to the 20th Anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. More ?

From s2smagazine.com: Will Packer can breath a sigh of relief now that his long-awaited action flick Takers has had its Hollywood premiere.
“I thought that if we put together a really, really good looking group of guys—sexy bad boys—that women would respond and want to see it. Typically action is a male domain, but I knew that if we casted it and marketed it the right way, we would be able to broaden [our audience] and bring in women as well.”
Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen and Matt Dillion also star in Takers, which reminds us a bit of the Ocean’s series. However Will assures us that Takers is distinctly different, even with its smart-alecky comedy.
“Overall, I think it’s a satisfying movie. I think people will be pleased with it,” Will told S2S, pointing out that the film will be far from predictable. “There’s gonna be some surprises in there. It doesn’t all wrap up the way you might expect it to.”
To see what surprises Will has in store for viewers, check out Takers when it hits theaters on August 27.
