Hugh Jackman Goes To Ghostopolis
“Wolverine” star Hugh Jackman is set to star in another comic-book movie, this time a big-screen adaptation of the upcoming graphic novel “Ghostopolis.”
According to The Hollywood Producer, Jackman will both star in and co-produce the film through his company, Seed Productions.
Written and illustrated by Doug TenNapel, “Ghostopolis” revolves around a man who works for the Supernatural Immigration Task Force, a fictional government agency that specializes in sending ghosts who have escaped into our world back to Ghostopolis.
When a living boy is accidentally sent to The Other Side, the agent must team up with a female ghost – also his former girlfriend – to retrieve the child.
The movie, which is being set up at Disney, does not have a director or writer attached yet.
A release date also has yet to be announced for the “Ghostopolis” graphic novel, which will be published through Scholastic. TenNapel’s work is in high demand in Hollywood, with three of his other graphic novels – “Tommysaurus Rex,” “Creature Tech” and “Monster Zoo” – already set up at various studios as movie projects.
Fans of Jackman can currently see him on the big screen in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which debuted atop the North American box office last weekend with an estimated $87 million.
