Together for the first time on stage 鈥?Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig. Nothing has been officially confirmed but two of Hollywood鈥檚 reigning hunks may be paired next fall on Broadway in 鈥淎 Steady Rain,鈥?a two-character drama by Keith Huff.
The New York Post reported Wednesday the actors were set to star in the play about two Chicago policemen, friends since childhood, whose lives take divergent paths after an unnerving incident. 鈥淎 Steady Rain鈥?was a big hit in Chicago in September 2007 at a small theater and transferred the following year to another venue for a commercial run. The Chicago Tribune called the play an 鈥渆xceptionally rich, gritty and emotional drama ... it will get you right where you live,鈥?while the Chicago Sun-Times cheered its 鈥渁ction-packed storytelling.鈥? Huff, who has a master鈥檚 from the University of Iowa鈥檚 Playwright鈥檚 Workshop, has extensive regional theater credits. 鈥淎 Steady Rain鈥?would be his Broadway debut. 鈥淎 Steady Rain鈥?would also be the New York stage debut for Craig, who skyrocketed to film stardom as the latest cinematic James Bond. Jackman, the movies鈥?Wolverine from all the 鈥淴-Men鈥?movies, proved to be a major Broadway box-office draw five years ago, playing entertainer Peter Allen in the musical 鈥淭he Boy From Oz.鈥? The Post said 鈥淎 Steady Rain鈥?would be produced by Barbara Broccoli, whose father was Albert 鈥淐ubby鈥?Broccoli, who began the enormously lucrative James Bond film franchise. In a video posted in January on YouTube, Huff talked about casting 鈥淎 Steady Rain鈥?with famous actors. The playwright told Chicago-based writer Mark Bazer: 鈥淚 think it would be kind of cool to see Daniel Craig do it. My wife would be happy.鈥? |
