'Nowhere Man' would be a comic first and then a movie

After the swift cancellation of his CBS musical "Viva Laughlin," Hugh Jackman can't be blamed for feeling like a "Nowhere Man."

According to the industry trades, Jackman and Marc Guggenheim are teaming with Virgin Comics on the series "Nowhere Man," which would then be designed to move to the big screen as a vehicle for the "X-Men" star.

Variety says that the project is set in a "futuristic world where mankind has traded privacy for safety." The trade says that the basic premise came from Jackman and his Seed Prods. partner John Palermo, as well as Virgin CEO Sharad Devarajan and CCO Gotham Chopra.

Virgin Comics has proven Hollywood friendly, with series' like "Voodoo Child," created by Nicolas and Weston Cage, and Guy Ritchie's "Gamekeeper."

Guggenheim, who recently co-created ABC's "Eli Stone," has written for Marvel in the "Amazing Spider-Man" and "Wolverine" franchises.

For his part, Jackman is currently shooting "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" for 20th Century Fox. He'll next be seen in the spring drama "Deception," followed by the long-awaited November release of "Australia" from Baz Luhrmann.
