The role Chris was supposed to be testing with Tom Cruise for has been awarded to Jeremy Renner, and Chris’s screen test has been canceled, according to Deadline Hollywood.
Paramount Pictures has chosen Jeremy Renner to infuse new blood in its Mission: Impossible franchise. Renner, the Oscar-nominated star of The Hurt Locker, will star alongside Tom Cruise in the fourth installment of a franchise that will begin production in the fall. Brad Bird is directing and Cruise is producing with JJ Abrams.
The studio planned to test a group of young actors later this week… but it was clear that Paramount wasn’t sure what it was going to do. Those tests have been canceled.
Sucks. But the fact that the studio had Chris in mind for such a huge role is a great sign, hopefully they will have something else in store for him soon!
Finally some news, and it would be huge if it worked out! Chris is in contention for a possible role in the highly anticipated next installment of the “Mission Impossible” franchise starring Tom Cruise. The Wrap reports he, Anthony Mackie and Kevin Zegers are all being considered, though it’s not clear if it’s for the same role or different ones. Deadline Hollywood also reports the 3 of them will be testing with Tom Cruise on Thursday and Friday.
Anthony Mackie, Kevin Zegers and Chris Egan are all being eyed for roles in Brad Bird’s highly-anticipated sequel, individuals familiar with the casting process have told Deal Central. For its part, Paramount has denied to TheWrap that the trio are in contention to join the cast.
It’s unclear whether the actors are in competition with one another, or whether there are several parts to be cast, but TheWrap has learned that they’ve auditioned to be new additions to the “M:I” team, and have already screen tested or will do so shortly.
This week, Paramount Pictures and director Brad Bird will begin testing actors to star alongside Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 4. I’m told that three of the actors who’ll test with Cruise on Thursday and Friday are Vampire’s Keven Zegers, Kings star Christopher Egan, and Anthony Mackie, who starred in the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker. Cruise is producing the film with JJ Abrams, and Paramount Pictures is co-financing with David Ellison’s Skydance.
“Letters to Juliet” will be heading our way on DVD on September 14th! It’s now available for pre-order on amazon with the following special features:
Audio Commentary with Amanda Seyfried and Director Gary Winick
Deleted and Extended Scenes
The Making of Letters to Juliet: In Italia
A Courtyard in Verona
We’ll have captures in the gallery shortly following the release – we can’tw ait!
Chris is featured with some of his fellow rising actors in Hollywood modeling new K-Swiss Vintage shoes in the new issue of Details magazine. Below are the HQ scan (thanks very much to Jerilee), the textless shoot image, some behind the scenes stills and captures of the behind the scenes video. Enjoy!
Better late than never – here are the captures for the last four episodes of “Kings.” Definitely canceled prematurely, but what a fantastic show it was!
The movie also did very well in its 2nd week at the box office:
Letters to Juliet had the best hold of the weekend among the top 10. The Amanda Seyfried-starring, Tuscan-set romance dropped only 33 percent its second weekend for an additional $9 million. The film, well-liked by audiences, has now earned $27.4 million.
Made a complete gallery update on Chris’s 2009 movie “Crush”, with caps of the movie, stills and promotional images. The movie is now available on DVD in Australia and on demand in the US. Not my sort of movie, but if scary movies are your thing, check it out. And Chris is in every single scene! Beware of spoilers in the caps.
It came in an expected third after “Iron Man 2″ and “Robin Hood”.
Tweens and their mothers were not as smitten by Letters to Juliet as Summit Entertainment had initially hoped. The PG-rated Tuscan romance earned an estimated $13.8 million, less than originally guesstimated based on Friday’s numbers. And exit polling shows it was not teens at all that were driving the opening to this film but women over the age of 25 who made up 63% of the audience. The opening is far beneath what Amanda Seyfried scored with Dear John, which opened back in February to $30 million and went on to gross $80 million. Juliet lacked the star power of Channing Tatum, a factor that surely limited its appeal with the younger set. However, with an A- from exit pollster Cinemascore, strong word of mouth could help the film’s staying power in the weeks to come.
Chris is featured in the current issue of Houston Magazine, in a brand new photoshoot and Q&A interview. Check out the scan and textless pic in the gallery below!
Here’s yet another interview with Christopher, done after the LA premiere on Tuesday. It seems like he’s been mentioning the “dark, psychological thriller” a lot as his next role, getting so anxious to find out what it is!
