Hayden Christensen will be starring with Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo in the independent thriller Vanishing on Seventh Street with director Brad Anderson.

The story is written by Anderson and Anthony Jaswinsk about a once-thriving city where shadowy forms cause residents to disappear without explanation. Five survivors fight to stay alive while grappling with the meaning of existence.

The movie sounds very dark and philosophical with a touch of horror or science fiction.

Christensen is playing a reporter. Newton would play a desperate nurse and Leguizamo a subway operator.

Filming begins around October in the once-thriving city of Detroit.
