[image: steady-rain-craig-jackman_l]Wolverine and James Bond will soon be
squaring off eight times a week. And here’s the first publicity photo of
Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig in the Broadway play *A Steady
Rain*<http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/05/27/daniel-craig-an/>,
in which they play Chicago cops with enough troubles to fill Soldier Field.
Jackman, who won a Tony in 2004 for hoofing it as 1970s singer-songwriter
Peter Allen in *The Boy From Oz*, plays Denny, a patrolman with a racist
streak and violent temper. And Craig, a London stage veteran making his
Broadway debut, plays Joey, a recovering alcoholic and gentler soul who may
not be as docile as he first seems. In* A Steady Rain*, which just began
rehearsals, the two buddies in blue recount a few harrowing days on the job
and their very different accounts of a police call that quickly went south.

Performances of American playwright Keith Huff’s two-man play begin Sept. 10
with an official opening set for Sept. 29. The show, directed by Tony
nominee John Crowley (*The Pillowman*), is scheduled to run through Dec. 6.
And while I have my reservations about Craig’s porn-stache — a look that 007
could never get away with, thank heavens — I have to say that both stars
look rugged, handsome, and intense. They can walk my beat any day.
