June 3, 2003 — In an interview to publicize "The Core" being released in Australia, Aaron Eckhart told an Australian journalist, Helen Barlow, that he is now finished on "The Missing".

"Eckhart...has just completed The Missing, a western directed by Ron Howard in which he plays the husband of Aussie actor Cate Blanchett.

"She's quite a gal," he said. "I met her husband Andrew, and he's very nice as well."

Eckhart has also completed the FBI thriller Suspect Zero alongside Ben Kingsley and Carrie-Anne Moss and is in Canada with Ben Affleck making Paycheck, directed by John Woo.

"It's scary, man, going straight from one film to another with no break," he said. "But I'm working with John Woo . . . it's going to be worth it."
