(FROM VARIETY) – Hugh Jackman and Eli Stone co-creator Marc Guggenheim are teaming with Virgin Comics to develop a new comicbook series that can eventually be adapted into a movie starring Jackman. The comic, Nowhere Man, is focused on a character, similar to Will Smith's role in I Am Legend, living in a futuristic world where mankind has traded privacy for safety. ''This is our first comic, and we feel the concept is transferable to other arenas, perhaps first as a videogame, and then a movie," John Palermo, Jackman's Seed Productions partner, told Variety. Guggenheim has previously written installments of Amazing Spider-man and Wolverine for Marvel Comics. Jackman is currently shooting X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the spinoff movie set to release in May 2009. (Variety)
