Djimon Hounsou and Hayden Hayden Christensen are going to take the lead n the film adaptation of Lee Falk's Mandrake comic strip.
Jackson Mandrake lives life on the edge. Working as an underground magician and escapologist, his act has grown increasingly dangerous. Following a daring escape from an SUV that has been dropped out of an plane at the Burning Man Festival, he is coerced by the CIA into breaking a deep-cover agent named Xi Shing Lung out of a maximum security jail. Hypnosis, contortion, distraction and technical wizardry all come into play as Mandrake breaks the agent out from the inside within a 24-hour deadline. http://blackgeekdom.com/blog/2009/05/19/djimon-hounsou-and-hayden-hayden-chr istensen-to-star-in-mandrake-the-magican/
