Hugh Jackman's Seed

...wait, scratch that title. How about "Seed of Hugh Jackman". No. Ummm... oh, whatever. I've read this in a few places but this is from The Age newspaper (it went by the headline "Sowing Jackman's Seed" uh-huh)

For several weeks while he was on the hustings promoting the stage show The Boy From Oz, Hugh Jackman dropped several hints about the film-production venture Seed Productions, in which he is parner with actress-wife Deborra-Lee Furness and Wolverine producer John Palermo. The company, which plans to spend $10 million production about four films annually aimed at an international market, was launched on Tuesday. It will be based at Fox Studios in Sydney and at 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles. Among the slate of projects that Seed will develop for Australia is a "love-story epic" that Australian writer Stuard Beattie (Collateral, Pirates of the Caribbean) will direct. "Out aim is to support Australian filmmakers, to stimulate the creative community, and provide international opportunities for Australian artists," Jackman said in a statement. The Tourist will be Seed's inaugural project. It will star Jackman and Ewan McGregor, and will start shooting in New York in October under director Marcel Lagenegger. Fedex, Rebound Boy, Carousel and the much anticipated X-Men spin-off, Wolverine, are also on the cards.

Will Hugh and Ewan take their clothes off in The Tourist? Cause that'd be awesome thank you.

That picture right there is the only justification for the existence of Swordfish. Which, yes, I own.

I sorta loved the bus/helicopter scene too, but yeah that movie doesn't have much going for it.

And yes, I own it too.

I'll raise you your "Ewan and Hugh taking clothes off" and see you one "Ewan and Hugh having hotgay sex". THAT would be awesome.

OK, just how much is Hugh shirtless in Swordfish? Should I own it too!?

Okay, I'll remind you that I bought this back in, what? 2000? Whenever it was released. I got my Hugh manlove whereever I could. He's barely shirtless, but when he is it's a nice site.
