Josh Hartnett #6: "Because he comes with the Rain..."



Bio:
born July 21, 1978 and in Minnesota, Joshua Daniel Hartnett, grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota and raised mostly by his father, Daniel Hartnett (a building manager), and stepmother, Molly (an artist). He has three younger half-siblings, named Jessica, Jake and Joe and is of Irish ancestry. He was raised Roman Catholic, attending Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Grade School, where he played Adam Apple in an eighth grade production of "Krazy Kamp". He later attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School before switching to South High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from which he graduated in June 1996. Hartnett played football in high school, but stopped because of a broken left knee. Josh has lived in San Francisco.

He got his first job at a local video store. He had also worked at McDonald's and Burger King for a short time before getting his start in acting at Youth Performance Company in Minneapolis. He became a vegetarian at the age of 12 but temporarily returned to meat eating during the shooting of The Black Dahlia.


Career:
In April 1997, Hartnett made his screen debut playing the role of Michael Fitzgerald on the short-lived television series, Cracker. He also performed in small plays and on national television commercials, before being cast in his first feature film, playing the son of Jamie Lee Curtis' character in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, which was released on August 5, 1998 and performed well at the box office.

Hartnett has since developed a steady film career, having appeared in several Hollywood films, including The Faculty, Black Hawk Down, Lucky Number Slevin and Pearl Harbor. He was originally set to play the role of Tino in Deuces Wild, but dropped out to star in Pearl Harbor. Hartnett was chosen as one of Teen People magazine's "21 Hottest Stars Under 21" in 1999, Teen People's "25 Hottest Stars under 25", and one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People", both in 2002. He was also voted Bliss magazine's "3rd Sexiest Male".

One of Hartnett's most recent films is the drama-mystery The Black Dahlia, in which he plays a detective investigating the notorious real-life murder of actress Elizabeth Short. Hartnett was cast in the role five years before the film was produced, and remained committed to appearing in the film because he liked the subject matter.

Among his 2007 roles are Resurrecting the Champ, a drama also starring Samuel L. Jackson, and the graphic novel-based 30 Days of Night, in which he plays a small-town sheriff, Hartnett describes the film as "supernatural, but kind of a western". He was going to play trumpet player, Chet Baker, in the film The Prince of Cool, but did not agree with the producer's ideas and left the project.

Hartnett has played Charlie Babbit alongside Adam Godley in the theatre adaptation of Barry Morrow's Oscar winning Rain Man at the Apollo Theatre in London's west end. Also in 2008 he starred the new campaign of the Emporio Armani fragrance, "Diamonds for Men", he will feature in both print and TV ads for the fragrance. This makes him the first male celebrity to represent Giorgio Armani Beauty. He also had been in many magazine covers like Cosmogirl, Details, Entertainment Weekly, Girlfriend, Seventeen, Vanity Fair, GQ and Vman, besides being in other magazines like Vogue, ELLE, People, Glamour, Intouch and InStyle.

The good news is that Josh Hartnett has a brand-new movie called “Bunraku” that sounds like it could be “Sin City” all over again. The bad news, unfortunately, is that he also broke the news to me at Sundance that his passion project about the legendary Chet Baker is now dead.

“It’s not gonna happen,” the “30 Days of Night” star sighed. “We’ve been working on this for years, and the producers and I just couldn’t see eye-to-eye.”

As you might recall, the 29-year-old heartthrob broke the news to MTV at Sundance 2007 that he was expecting to play the drug-addled jazz man sometime this year. Titled “The Prince of Cool,” the project was at various points rumored to be flirting with “Driving Miss Daisy” director Bruce Beresford. Now, nearly a year to the day, Hartnett is officially squashing his “Prince” project.

“They just wanted to bang something out,” he said of producers Julie Allen (”Night of the Demons III”), Pieter Kroonenburg (”My 5 Wives”), and Jonathan Vanger (”The Last Sign”). “There were a lot of biopics coming out at the time, and they just wanted to be a part of that.”

For Hartnett, a lifelong fan of such jazz pioneers as Miles Davis, Charles Mingus and John Coltrane, who became captivated by Baker’s tragic tale in recent years, the idea of jumping on a “Walk the Line” and “Ray” pig-pile turned him off. “They didn’t want to make something that was new,” he frowned. “And the story was just too spectacular.”

Instead, Hartnett’s ‘08 will consist of hitting film festivals with “August” and “I Come With the Rain” (which was recently accepted by Cannes), and relocating to Romania to shoot the papier-mache and puppetry action flick “Bunraku.”

“Some people have the rights to his life,” Hartnett sighed, saying goodbye to Chet Baker forever. “What are you gonna do?"

Ah, man, Pearl Harbor has been on almost every month on Starz. My brother and I had a good laugh when we realized the film was like 3 hours long (I remember assuming it was two for some reason). I can only imagine how long the Director's cut is.

I should really watch it, I haven't seen it start-to-finish yet, I always end up walking in on it half way through.

Same here. I've pretty much kept myself from watching it until I buy the Director's cut DVD. I tend to loose interest in a movie really fast if I keep coming in on one part of the flick when it's being run constantly on TV.
