Kinnaer Shatters Glass With Hayden Christensen

Greg Kinnear is in negotiations to star opposite Hayden Christensen in Lions Gate Films' "Shattered Glass" from screenwriter Billy Ray, who also will make his directorial debut on the project.

The film tells the true story of Stephen Glass (Christensen), who from 1995-98 was a twentysomething whiz-kid journalist in Washington writing for publications ranging from the New Republic to Rolling Stone. Considered a rising star, it was later revealed that he made up sources and quotes, fabricating most of his articles.

Kinnear will play Chuck Lane, editor of New Republic.

Production is aimed to begin in August in Montreal
