hits.

For the past few days there have been numerous rumors floating around about Ben signing onto a new movie project co-starring Eliza Dushku and according to Eliza, the movie is said to begin shooting in Boston soon. Well, thanks to MK and the Boston Herald, I’ve uploaded 1 new photo of Ben hanging out at Whiskey Park (in Boston) so it seems as though these ‘new movie’ rumors are in fact, true! There isn’t a lot of information available about this new project but Eliza has said they will be filming a psychological drama based on what she called “a really beautiful script.”

UPDATE: A little more about the new film titled ‘Valediction‘.

The premise of the film? When a car accident leaves a father fighting for his daughter’s life, his journey for the pieces of the puzzle that will save her lead him to discover it’s actually his life that he is fighting for.

Dushku co-stars with “Prince Caspian” hottie Ben Barnes and veteran actress Brenda Fricker. Both Dushku and Barnes are slotted to shoot a Christmas party scene on Tuesday, June 9.

I’ve noticed on some pictures/videos of Ben that his hair is not totally dark (black) some pictures of him, his hair looks brown, so I agree with Hana, it could just be the lighting. To be honest I don’t care what color his hair is, (well, okay I wouldn’t like it blond or red!!–LOL!!) I just didn’t like the hair too long. All he needs to do now is shave off the beard!! But other than that, he is just gorgeous!!!!

Ben looks sooo cute in this pic!

And HELLO everyone! he is an actor! Maybe the long hair, beard, and lighter hair color is for the film? If not then, he did say he swims a lot so maybe its the chlorine water that’s lightening his hair. (IDK?) Anyways, I can’t really judge an actor on how they look sometimes because there’s always that HUGE possibility that their current look is for a role! ;)

He still looks amazing! But I’m not sure if they’ll be filming that right away. Ben still has Voyage of the Dawn Treader to take care of. =)

why does everyone want him to shave?? seriously, he looks like an actual man with the facial hair and the longer hair. Does everyone want him to look like a little boy again? I really wish people would stop mothering him cause that’s not a true fan. He does what he wants with his look and that’s all that should matter.. nuff said!
