Hugh Jackman & Daniel Craig To Hit Broadway Together in ‘A Steady Rain’
Wolverine hunk Hugh Jackman and James Bond stud Daniel Craig will be starring in a new play on Broadway this fall, according to The Post.
The drama, A Steady Rain by Keith Huff, is about two Chicago cops whose lifelong friendship is put to the test when they become involved in a domestic dispute in a poor neighborhood.
This will be Craig’s New York stage debut. In 2004, Hugh won a Tony Award for his role as Peter Allen in the musical The Boy From Oz.
WILL YOU BUY tickets to see two of Hollywood’s hottest hunks on Broadway?

Daniel Craig is a cranky Brit who only smiles when he’s drunk or is pimping a movie. Playing Bond is 95% looks and 5% acting. Hugh can play any part and is a nice person. He is always walking around NYC with his family and is not a stuck up snob like Craig.
@:D:
I don’t think this is the type of a play where he’ll be ‘working’ the audience, so the playing field may be more equal as far as who dominates. I’ve seen a bit of the script and reviews of the show when it was done in Chicago and it seems very intense, gritty and somewhat disturbing. It’s the dramatic role that Hugh really needs to prevent him from being typecast.

OMG!
fence are the two bodies …
@Dee:
most of his roles were actually very dramatic. correlli - prisoner. wolverine in x-men, a vilain in deception, the fountain, good guy turns bad in the prestige, the rough drover in australia..
i hope he does a movie musical to show that other side of him that people got a glimpse of at the oscars. cause usually he plays very serious, conflicted individuals.
Agree-not in love with DC and don’t think playing James Bond is a real acting challenge. Bond movies are very formulated and what sells are the attractive actors/actresses, the locations and the action scenes.
Hugh has shown a great deal of versatility in his career and can even host the Oscars!!! I know celebs are not perfect but he certainly comes close and I love looking at him!!!
Hugh has done Broadway-I think playing Peter Allen. I don’t think he wants to do another musical as that is when the “gay” rumors started. I personally think he is totally hetero with mucho testosterone!!!!!
@to 32:
what?? you think he cares about that? we’re talking about a guy that loves singing and dancing and has been seen doing impressions of sandy from “greese” in interviews. he actually said that he took the gay rumours as a compliment because it means he did his job right.
And he always talks about the boy from oz as one of the most fun times he’s ever had.
and btw, he’s also mentioned wanting to do a musical. he was supposed to do houdini on stage, and he’s working on a movie musical adaptation of “carousel”. already has a script ready.
And I personally can’t wait.
I’ll buy tickets on a heart beat!!!
Good point-he did his job so well that people thought he was gay!!! Would love to see him in Houdini. I hope this play is taken seriously and not viewed as the beefcake play. It will be very hard to screw this play up with this casting-the publicity alone will fill the seats. I hope to see Hugh as I think he is a very unique and talented actor.
Is it only rumour that Daniel will play in Broadway? I thought he is preparing and training for 23.Bond, this fall is highest time to jump to work on Bond. There were rumours he will be Thor and it was not truth, there were hints he can play Steve McQuuen and Hadrian and it was not truth. Daniel is not good for Broadway because he doen not sing or YES?
Could be with the legal and money problems that Bond will be postponed. I really don’t care as I think the world can live without a Bond movie for the next couple of years.
@to 35:
the audience may come for the beefcake, but they’ll stay for the great acting :)

so calm down girls and boys, no shirtless hunks LOL!
A table, two chairs and two cups of coffee and two cops talking 90 minutes.
This will sooooo be Daniel’s thing, it’s like A number, a great play which lives only trough a very sensitive and enigmatic kind of acting.
Perfect for both of them to avoid being typecasted as Bond or Wolverine
Thor - Never a possibility.
McQueen - Pitt has signed up (or will).
Sinatra - Not on the cards.
Hadrian - No
I Lucifer - No
This play does not have singing in but some dramatic fight scenes and a death. Not saying who.
Very intense two man play, something Daniel is used to.
He garnished rave reviews when he did “A Number” in 2002.
I think Daniel will shine and Hugh will have to pull it back to prevent the OTT side he has.
@Coffee Fetcher:
Satsuki, bring me a coffe, and please strong coffe, hurry!!!! šup šup!
Sorry but Hugh has no bad side and he is a nice guy too!! Hopefully Daniel will leave the “icy Bond” stare at home.
Thanks for the link!
It hilarious that the writer say on the end of that interview that it would be cool seeing Daniel Craig playing the cop and that his wife would be sooo happy.
Well Keith, not only your wife!!
But that Bond stare is so multi-dimensional!! Ha, Ha, Ha!!! Hope acting lessions are included in his contract! I don’t think Hugh has anything to worry about.
in this case I am really wondering, but I don’t think Hugh is any handsome and extra an actor.
Daniel is better dandy, Hugh is not James Bond, an agent 007 like Daniel. I hope Hugh will have properly kicked ass or hit nose.
Could be with the legal and money problems that Bond will be postponed. I really don’t care as I think the world can live without a Bond movie for the next couple of years.

according to the sun may 22 -michael wilson says that work has started on the next bond film -see the site listed. which could mean that filming could start next year. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2442593/Welsh-singer-Duffy-could-be-in-line-to-sing-the-next-Bond-theme.html
as for waiting for a couple of years for the next bond movie; no way. i’m not willing to have the same situation that existed after license to kill; where bond fans had to wait 6 years for another bond.
I hope Hugh will have properly kicked ass or hit nose in drama fight with Daniel. Daniel is better fighter and his Bond is a proper killer!!
Daniel- do! on him! properly! kick him! properly!! kick kop him!!
are you really that stupid or are you just pretending to be that dull?
It’s a play, two people sitting at a table and talking about life.
Nobody has to sing or “kick ass”
@to smart:
god i hope this person is pretending, and not really that stupid.
