New York, June 4 (ANI):

Hayden Christensen, who plays Anakin Skywalker in the 'Star Wars' movies will don a different role in 'Cheri', a British period drama, that of a mushy lover.

It will be a compete image change for the 'Star Wars' hero who will be seen romancing the sultry Jessica Lange in the movie which will be directed by British theatre personality Bill Kenwright.

"It's in its very early stages but its called Cheri and is based on the novel by French writer Colette. The whole thing is set in 1913 and Judi Dench is onboard to play Hayden's mother," Kenwright was quoted as saying by imdb.
