Hugh Jackman: Comic Book Writer?

Actor Hugh Jackman is teaming up with writer Marc Guggenheim to create an original comic series for Virgin Comics.

by Larry_Chimp_Man


You'd think that, with his excellent portrayal of Wolverine in the X-Men films, Hugh Jackman wouldn't feel the need to prove himself in the world of comics. Well, apparently he does. The Australian-born actor has struck up a deal with Virgin Comics to co-write a comic series titled Nowhere Man along with writer Marc Guggenheim.



According to to Jackman's assistant, John Palermo, Nowhere Man focuses on a protagonist similar to Will Smith's character in I Am Legend. The comic is set in a futuristic world where society has traded privacy for safety. It doesn't sound like a terribly original idea but could stand out if executed well. Virgin plans to release the story in comic book form first and then pump out a video game and film if all goes well.

Virgin seems to be signing quite a bit of celebrity talent lately. Nicholas Cage has a book with the publisher as does porn-star Jenna Jameson. Directors Guy Ritchie and John Woo also have comic titles to their names. Even spiritual guru Deepak Chopra has a comic series out with Virgin. Celebrities sell, even in comic book land.

What do you guys think about celebrities getting mixed up in comics? Should actors and directors stick to what they know or branch out and explore their talents in other areas? Post a comment and let me know what you think.

While Virgin refused to announce a release date for Nowhere Man we here at MediaZEALOT will be sure to post the date as soon as its revealed.

Cheers
