CHRIS EVANS
TO LEAD 'GIFTED' DRAMA
Our favourite of Hollywood hunks, Chris Evans is one of those big blockbuster stars that also like to give strong dramatic performances and one of such is expected to be seen in the latest movie he has joined: in GIFTED he will play an underachiever named Frank Adler, a man raising his young niece Mary in rural Florida, who is quickly labelled as gifted after she starts school. Frank soon finds himself locked in a custody battle, fighting the girl's mother Evelyn for the right to raise Mary - and he's prepared to sue.The movie is to be helmed by SPIDERMAN director Marc Webb.
