Beast of Bataan
 Hayden Christensen talks about his new role in the upcoming film about the Bataan Death March.
"It's a very powerful story. It comments on how war is wrong and there is no right side and it's all sort of fucked up.
'I play an American solider coming back from the war who is assigned to defend this Japanese general simply because he studied law before he went into service. The Americans are trying to set him up for the fall.
"My character becomes aware of that and really does his best to get him off the hook. Because of the corruptness of war, it doesn't really work out for him," Christensen said.
"It felt like a good way of commenting on what is going on around the world without actually saying what is going on around the world.'
Fred Schepisi will direct Beast of Bataan, starring Hayden Christensen, Willem Defoe, and William Hurt.
