hugh jackman and family enjoy a day at the seaside Jackman and Guggenheim are VirginizedNow here is the interview we have been waiting for! Hugh Jackman and Marc Guggenheim are teaming up on the latest Virgin Comics panel-to-screen project, Nowhere Man. Is it about a guy who doesn’t have a point of view and knows not where he’s going to? Not really, but he may be just a bit like me and you.

Story was being kept under wraps, but Jackson’s Seed Productions partner John Palermo said it features a protagonist reminiscent of the one Will Smith played in “I Am Legend.” The concept is a futuristic world where mankind has traded privacy for safety, a premise that sprouted with Seed, Virgin CEO Sharad Devarajan and chief creative officer Gotham Chopra.

“This is our first comic, and we feel the concept is transferable to other arenas, perhaps first as a videogame, and then a movie,” Palermo said.


You don’t’ say! According to Variety, Jackman is in love with the comic book world. “I’ve had so much fun in the graphic novel world with the ‘X-Men’ franchise that I wanted to get even more involved.”

We want you to get more involved, too, Hugh. Very very involved. We’re here to help you every step of the way. Just say the word.

    Hopefully this movie doesn’t sit in nowhere land.

  3. Cary Coatney says:

    I thought for a second – it was a comic book and movie project based on the one season hit UPN wonder, Nowhere Man that starred Bruce Greenwood.
