Hayden Christensen, who played the young Darth Vader in “Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones,” is in negotiations to join “The Other Side of Simple,” a thriller starring Vince Vaughn and Don Cheadle.The New Line project follows two thieves who return to their old stomping grounds after a lengthy absence. There, they reunite with the simple-minded younger brother (Christensen) of one of the thieves, who’d been captured by the cops during the trio’s failed robbery 10 years earlier. As events unfold, the two discover the simp is not as simple as they thought. Joseph Ruben (“Money Train”) will direct from a script by Eric Kmetz. Christensen will next appear as disgraced New Republic journo Stephen Glass in Lions Gate’s “Shattered Glass”; in 2005 he’ll topline the final episode of the “Star Wars” sextet.
