Здесь больше о нём : http://www.kinopoisk.ru/level/4/people/33497/

И ещё))) Джош о предстоящей работе и о Лондоне :
Hollywood pin-up Josh Hartnett is best known for films such as Pearl Harbour, Black Hawk Down and The Virgin Suicides. Commenting on Rain Man, which marks his professional stage debut, Hartnett said: “It has always been my intent to work on the London stage. While I’ve had many opportunities, it was only when I read the complex and charismatic character of Charlie Babbitt that I knew the time was right. I feel very fortunate to make my London bow … Can’t wait to live and work in London, a city I adore!”

Джош Хартнетт сыграет роль Тома Круза
03.07.2008 12:01

  Вчера мы писали, что Кристиан Бейл "отнял" у Тома Круза роль Президента. Здесь ситуация иная, хотя отчасти и похожая:) Джошу Хартнетту предложили сыграть партию, двадцать лет назад принесшую Крузу всемирную славу. Речь идет о театральной постановке "Человека дождя", которую намерены предпринять в лондонском Вест Энде. Джош, как вы уже догадались, станет Чарли Бэббиттом, харизматичным торговцем автомобилями.

"Всегда мечтал выйти на сцену в Лондоне!" - поделился своей радостью с BBC 29-летний актер.

Самого Человека дождя - роль, которая принесла Дастину Хоффману премию "Оскар" - сыграет Адам Годли, известный по фильмам "Чарли и шоколадная фабрика" и "Реальная любовь".

Будем надеяться, что запись спектакля появится в сети. Уж очень хочется сравнить Джоша и Тома:) Не говоря уже о том, что сама затея кажется любопытной.

предлагаешь устроить засаду?! замаскируемся под служебный персонал, в гримерной я его вырублю (со спины конечно, недавно узнал что он 1.91 см! а на экране как то не заметно) тут же в мешок, а потом бандеролью в Питер   должно получиться, вроде ничего не упустил

Решение Джоша принять участие в театральной адаптации "Человека дождя" обсуждается очень активно в нете  Много пишут о том, что участие в театральной постановке - затея рискованная. Критики порой разбивают в пух и прах показанное и сыгранное на сцене. Но наш Джош  , имхо, не первый и не последний в этом списке актеров,готовых ради театральных подмостков рискнуть :
Джош Хартнетт самый последний в длинном списке знаменитостей принимающих злополучное решение играть в театре.
Josh Hartnett Latest In Long List Of Celebs To Make Ill-Fated Decision To Dabble In Theatre

Radar reports that our favourite box office trailblazer, Josh Hartnett, has finally given up hope of nailing zingers on 30 Rock or appearing in a mildly successful movie and moved on to simpler pursuits: the London theatre. In a role that will certainly pay homage to Tom Cruise's former career as an actor, Hartnett will appear as Rain Man's Charlie Babbit opposite a less-heartthrobby Brit filling Dustin Hoffman's pigeon-toed shoes. Most interesting of all? Hartnett manages to say, "It has always been my intent to work on the London stage," without laughing. But the bigger question remains (ahem, Katie Holmes): why do movie stars assume tackling the theatre will be a breezy little side-job guaranteed to build acting cred? The track records of Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, and David Schwimmer beg to differ, after the jump.

Amanda Peet: Even a Neil Simon script and eye candy provided in the form of Patrick Wilson couldn't save Peet's 2006 role in Barefoot In The Park from critical ridicule and a very brief run. The NY Times equated the theatergoer's experience to watching paint dry, and said of her performance: "She's trying, really hard, to be funny and freewheeling, but it hurts." Ouch.

Josh Hartnett to Make West End Debut in Rain Man

Josh Hartnett will make his West End debut in a new stage version of the 1988 Oscar-winning film "Rain Man," which will begin performances at the Apollo Theatre Aug. 28 prior to an official opening Sept. 9.

Rain Man, which is currently booking through Dec. 20, has been re-imagined by writer Dan Gordon and director David Grindley for the stage, and is reset in the present day.

Hartnett will play Charlie Babbitt (originally played on screen by Tom Cruise) with British actor Adam Godley as his autistic savant older brother Raymond (originally played by Dustin Hoffman, who won the Best Actor in a Leading Role award).

Raymond, who has been hidden in an institution for most of his adult life and is dysfunctional in many senses, is also touched with a kind of stellar genius, which his brother Charlie, an L.A.-based automobile dealer and hustler, harnesses to save his business. The two brothers embark on a rollercoaster journey together that shows Raymond a world beyond the hospital gates and Charlie the meaning of unconditional love.

Hartnett, whose films include "Pearl Harbor," "Black Hawk Down," "30 Days of Night," "Virgin Suicides," "The Black Dahlia" and "Lucky Number Slevin," said in a press statement, "It has always been my intent to work on the London stage. While I've had many opportunities it was only when I read the complex and charismatic character of Charlie Babbitt that I knew the time was right. I feel very fortunate to make my London bow with such an esteemed producer and director and I'm also looking forward to working with Adam Godley, who is such an extraordinary talent. Can't wait to live and work in London a city I adore!"

Godley was Olivier-nominated for his stage performances in Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick (National Theatre) and Mouth to Mouth (Royal Court, subsequently transferring to the Albery). Other productions include Private Lives (West End and Broadway), Paul, The Pillowman and Mike Leigh's Two Thousand Years (National Theatre). His film credits include Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and the upcoming "X‐Files: I Want To Believe."

Director David Grindley directed the multi-award-winning revival of Journey's End that played several West End theatres and transferred to Broadway's Belasco Theatre, as well as the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Pygmalion at the American Airlines Theatre last year. Other credits include Abigail's Party (Hampstead, New Ambassadors and Whitehall), The Philanthropist (Donmar Warehouse) and Some Girl(s) (Gielgud Theatre).

Adaptor Dan Gordon has written 11 feature films, including "The Hurricane," "Wyatt Earp," "Murder In The First," "The Assignment" and "Passenger 57." His new play, Irena's Vow, is scheduled to open in New York in the fall. Other theatre credits include the stage adaptation of Terms of Endearment, which recently toured the U.K., and the stage adaptation of Murder in the First. His version of Rain Man is based on the MGM motion picture, which featured a screenplay by Barry Morrow.

Rain Man is produced by Nica Burns, Jane Walmsley, Michael Braham, Max Weitzenhoffer in association with MGM ON STAGE, Darcie Denkert and Dean Stolber.
