LATEST UPDATE!!!

My buddies over at 4FilmMakers.Com just wrote me a few moments ago saying that they just got it confirmed that Hayden is to play Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 2 and 3. So... to complete your Darth Vader autographed still, you're going to need Jake Lloyd, James Earl Jones, Hayden Christensen, Sebastian Shaw and David Prowse. So go to ebay and buy them before they skyrocket! hehehehehe...

UPDATED!!!

Hey folks, for the last few hours I've been pursuing the name of Hayden Christensen, as a scooper supplied the name as being the unknown actor that'll play Anakin. At the same time this source said that it was a shoo-in that Christian Bale was going to be Bail Organa, and not the Ryan Phillipe that we have below. Still, we have the possibility that a certain Sean Patrick Flannery might be playing Bail Organa as I heard a few weeks back. Now... Variety and Michael Fleming seem to indicate that Hayden Christensen is Anakin with Lucas close to announcing it, but no mention of a Bail Organa, but this earlier source seemed to nail the Hayden bit, but... then there's the fucking dreadful concept of Ryan Phillipe.... dear god no.... but, alright... I'll admit it, I HATE THIS GUESSING STUFF, even if it is semi-educated. Best as I can tell ya right now, Hayden Christensen will be Anakin (hahahah) and either Christian Bale, Ryan Phillipe or Sean Patrick Flannery will be Bail Organa.... Or maybe, George is casting Ryan's eyes, Sean's smile and Bale headshape.... Whatever... There will probably be an announcement sometime soon. YEAH... Right, like that'll ever happen.

this is what this Hayden kid looks like:

Hey there Star Wars fans, well I'm sending the up-n-up on what I hear tell is the .... ahem.... truth about the casting of ANAKIN SKYWALKER in that small indie shooting down under soon. If you go to: 4FilmMakers.com you'll see the following info has been added to their entry on STAR WARS EPISODE TWO:

As of 05/04/00 the role of Anakin Skywalker is down to Ryan Phillipe and an unknown actor.

Well, I also had this confirmed by an Agent bloke working the ol telephones and pushing the cards.

However, a source that came to me right after my speech about ILM's FRANKENSTEIN told me something... something a bit cryptic about some news that he said I'd be hearing in the future. He told me that within a week, I'd hear that the casting for Anakin had come down to two people. One would be a shocking, but known name that we hadn't seen attached or rumored to the part in very many places. The other would be an unknown actor. HOWEVER, he said that the fact was these two were in fact cast in the film. The known actor would be playing the part of the young Bail Organa, and the Unknown would be playing Anakin. Now, I pleaded with him to spill the skinny, but was told that Lucasfilm is trying their hardest to make sure that the name of Anakin not appear till the anniversary of STAR WARS (name that date for 5 points in the headline of your talkback, and you may be eligible to win the AICN Toaster!)

So, if in fact the casting is down between Ryan Phillipe and Mr UnKnown, Mr UnKnown is Anakin and Phillipe would be Leia's adopted daddy. So, there ya have it. I have one confirmation on the information that 4FilmMakers posted, and then a source claiming to know that that information would be hitting soon. I know... it's dodgy, but what the fuck... ya know you love talking about STAR WARS as much as BATTLEFIELD EARTH and Porn.
