Hayden Christensen Deciphers Genesis Code

Hayden Christensen has signed on for the lead role in director David R. Ellis’ upcoming thriller The Genesis Code, based on the novel of the same name written by John Case.

The story follows a former national security expert, played by Hayden, who, while investigating the murder of his only sister and her young son, discovers that a religious sect called The Shadow of the Cross may be involved. With the help of his sister’s friend Ana, they follow the clues to a clinic in the mountains of Italy, where a terrifying secret experiment has been conducted – successfully. The results are so threatening to the foundation of the Church that they will do anything to keep it from being revealed.

FYI: Hayden‘s older brother Tove Christensen is one of the producers!

On Monday, Hayden and fiancee Rachel Bilson hit the red carpet at the MET Ball.
