Will Hugh Jackman ever appear in a film musical? This week it was announced the sexpot was attached to a movie musical about the showman P.T. Parnum, entitled The Greatest Showman on Earth. (story at Variety.) It would be an original work, scripted by former Sex & the City writer Jenny Bicks (an interesting choice), and singer Mika is in talks to write the music and lyrics. This all sounds very promising, but will it actually ever get off the ground? The Greatest Showman is the fourth musical Jackman has been attached to, after a remake of Carousel, a screen adaptation of The Boy form Oz, and Steven Soderbergh's 3-D musical - none of which are even close to being made. Until the picture actually starts filming, I'll wait to get excited. I just wish Jackman would stop getting distracted by Wolverine and finally make a movie which features singing and dancing.
