If it feels like we really haven’t seen Hayden Christensen in a while it’s because since the movie Jumper his roles have been pretty limited. His last appearance in a movie was in 2015 and it’s hard to think he was really in anything “legit” since his days on Star Wars (which ended in 2005). However, if there’s a resurgence coming for the 36-year-old actor (who by the way looks exactly like Topher Grace) teaming up with Harvey Keitel would certainly help his cause. Christensen is the star of a new film called Numb, at the Edge of the End which also stars Keitel and it looks pretty decent. Here’s a brief synopsis of the film.
Tov Matheson is a war veteran with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) who perceives that the end of the world is coming. After establishing a relationship with a dubious Messiah, he leaves his normal life and begins the construction of a shelter underground, training himself, in an extreme way, at the cost of losing everything and making people believe he is insane. When he also believes it, something extraordinary happens.
I think the trailer looks pretty sick and it’s extremely weird to see Christensen curse. But I have to admit, it’s a side of him we really haven’t seen unless you include his “dark side” in Revenge of the Sith.
