A site about Hugh Jackman, with an emphasis on movie news and rumors.

Congrats to Hugh on his Tony win!
Again, I apologize for the sporadic updates. I still adore Hugh as much as the next fan, but school and work tends to get in the way of maintaining this site.
I'm still looking for help. Email me if you want to be a part of the effort!

After Hugh Jackman's phenomenally successful run in The Boy From Oz in New York, he is considering a live stage show of his own in Las Vegas.

From McKellen:
Ian McKellen Talks X3 on his EPost
I hear positive news about the second sequel, which is likely to include
Magneto. The start date, considering Bryan Singer's other commitments,
couldn't be much before September 2005. There is as yet no script nor am I
signed up. On the other hand Hugh Jackman had a three-movie deal and Alan
Cumming is also contracted to appear once more.

From Sci
Fi Wire:
Jackman Confirms Fountain Role
Hugh Jackman confirmed to SCI FI Wire that he will have a major role in Darren
Aronofsky's on-again, off-again SF epic movie The Fountain. "I play three characters, and it's basically about the search for the
Fountain of Youth," Jackman said in an interview while promoting his
next movie, Van Helsing.
3/8/04 From Horror.com:
Hugh Talks Van Helsing and X-Men 3
Q:
How will it feel to bounce between franchises with this and the X-Men?
Jackman: Well, um, I've got to admit I said that exact question to my
agent and Universal. I said, 'Do you think maybe I shouldn't be in both of
them?' He said, 'I think this is the first time in history I've had an
actor worry about being in two successful franchises.' And course, that's
a good point. If they're good movies and people want to see them and want
to see another, you know, then... why not?

From Comingsoon:
Hugh Jackman Eyes Aronofsky's Fountain "There
is new life in Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman starring
instead of Brad Pitt and a smaller budget....Little is known about the
story, says Variety. Originally the film followed its main character on a
psychological journey set in the present, but with a plotline reaching
centuries into both the past and the future. Among the themes explored are
love, death and immortality." It's also reported by the Gurardian, FilmStew,
and FilmForce,
among others.
