Old rumors

Rumors that are more than a year old, but our fingers are still crossed

2/3/03

Jack and Jill

From Fox News

Hugh Jackman is rumored to star in Jack and Jill, a "transformative romance between a kindly schoolteacher and a hard-hearted corporate hatchet-man". Naomi Watts is also linked to this project to star as Jill. (scroll to the bottom)

 

3/23/02 From DarkHorizons:

Jesus Christ Super Star

"Despite having already been made into a movie this is apparently a goer again. Looking good with your shirt off seems to be a requirement so Hugh Jackman, Ricky Martin and Brad Pitt (can he sing?) are being considered for both the roles of Jesus and Judas."  Plus, there are some old rumors about Sunset Boulevard, Phantom of the Opera, and Ep. III if you follow the link! 

--12/4/03: DarkHorizons is reorganizing their site right now, hence, the dead links.

 

From Visit Britian Moviemap:

The Once and Future King
Following on from its success with Harry Potter, US studio Warner Bros., is planning another link with magic, this time in the form of the legend of King Arthur and his links with Merlin. Acclaimed screenwriter Kenneth Lonergan is set to adapt T.H. White?s book The Once and Future King, though no further details have been announced. Warners is mooting that the film will be shot in the UK. Actors already being linked wit the project include Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman - but then Hollywood loves to gossip about casting. The book is made up of four parts - the first section, The Sword in the Stone, was adapted into a successful animated film by Disney. In fact, Disney is said to be developing a live action version of The Sword in the Stone, with a screenplay by Jay Wolpert (who scripted the recent version of The Count of Monte Cristo).
