Report: Josh Hartnett set to star in “Rain Man” remake, not on the big screen but in a London theatre…

Actor Josh Hartnett is taking a break from films to go back to the theatre stage in “Rain Man” which is being adapted from the Oscar award winning Hollywood film. Josh is set to play the character of Charlie Babbitt which was originally played by Tom Cruise from the 1988 film that co-starred Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt. The “Rain Man” theatre play will have British actor Adam Godley to star as Dustin’s autistic character Raymond. The stage version of “Rain Man” will be at the Apollo Theatre in London, England which the show will run from Aug. 20th through Dec. 20th.

At least this film isn’t being remade for the big screen. I loved the “Rain Man” film and always thought it would work for theatre. Sounds like an interesting play to see.

    Been thinking about starting a blog. I see you gave tips for playing a musical “gig.”
    Is wordpress good? Is it free? Dont you get worried that if you tell all your feelings and secrets and the world reads them? You cant really bare your soul and admit you did bad stuff if your girl or best friends from church see it.
    It might be a good thing but I’m chicken and maybe just want to do a diary book in private.
    how do you know how far to go? If it isnt real it wont be good. but if it’s real then you can get in trouble.

    gracias!
