Posted 05.04.09 by Rich Z
Hot off the heels of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which pulled in $87 million at the box office this past weekend, Hugh Jackman will next produce and star in Disney's adaptation of Doug TenNapel's graphic novel Ghostopolis. No writer has yet been attached to the project.
Jackman will portray a man who works for the Supernatural Immigration Task Force, which apprehends ghosts who have escaped to the world of the living and sends them back to Ghostopolis. The story advances when a living boy mistakenly ends up in Ghostopolis, and Jackman must team up with a deceased romantic interest to get the boy back.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, TenNapel has several other of his family-friendly works prepped for big-screen adaptation, such as Tommysaurus Rex, Creature Tech, and Monster Zoo.
