Jackman attached to Disney's 'Ghostopolis'

Hugh Jackman has signed on to star in Disney's forthcoming supernatural adventure Ghostopolis, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The story focuses on a man who works for the government's Supernatural Immigration Taskforce and must rescue a young boy who is accidentally sent to Ghostopolis, an alternative world inhabited by ghosts.

No director or writer has yet been confirmed for the project, which is based on the upcoming graphic novel by Doug TenNapel.

Jackman will produce through his Seed Productions company, alongside Gotham Group, who were responsible for last year's The Spiderwick Chronicles.
