September 21st 2000 Here's some news 'bout Hugh's career...
Alfred Kinsey Biopic: New York Post columnist Liz Smith reported that at the premire of "Nurse Betty" in New York the other night, Director Bill Condon ("Gods and Monsters") revealed FOX has given him the greenlight to do a biopic of Alfred Kinsey - the man "whose famous report on bedroom behavior revolutionized American sexual mores". Condon says: "I want it to be 'The Right Stuff' meets sex! I want Tom Hanks to play the lead, with the other, younger guys in the team to be Hugh Jackman and Mark Wahlberg. We're polishing the script now, to send it to them. The movie starts with Kinsey at 35, so we need an older actor, and if Hanks isn't available, I think we have a good chance with Harrison Ford".
