Ethan Hawke Returning To Training Day, More

There are two updates concerning this guy today.  The first is that he could possibly be returning to Training Day, the TV sequel set years after the movie.  According to MovieHole the man says;

“I’ve learned that there were two versions of the pilot script. In one, the corrupt older detective is Jake Hoyt. It was written to gauge Hawke’s interest in toplining the series. I hear that was not something Hawke — coming off an Oscar nomination for Boyhood — was interested in pursuing, so the alternate version of the script was greenlighted to pilot. In it, the rogue cop is a new character, Frank, while the Deputy Chief is Hoyt. (The pilot addresses the fate of Washington’s Alonzo, who was killed at the end of the movie.)”

Elsewhere, Chinese production and distribution outfit Fundamental Films and Thunder Road Pictures announced today that Hawke will star in their upcoming thriller 24 Hours to Live, with acclaimed Second Unit Director Brian Smrz tapped to direct.

The movie will see Hawke play a man brought back to life temporarily on the condition that he carries out an assassination.
