The deal adds two more pictures to the thesp's Screen Gems slate, following "Bone Deep," the John Luessenhop-directed crime drama that began lensing in September.
Pact calls for Christensen to bring the studio projects that he finds with Tove Christensen, his brother and partner in Forest Park Pictures. Screen Gems will also invite the company into projects that the studio generates. Best known for his work in two "Star Wars" films and "Shattered Glass," Christensen most recently starred in "Jumper."
Thesp becomes the third to sign a multipicture pact with Screen Gems. Screen Gems prexy Clint Culpepper has cut similar deals with T.I. and Chris Brown, both of whom are in the cast of "Bone Deep."
"Hayden is a very talented and versatile actor with a proven worldwide box office history," Culpepper said.
