Hugh Jackman Looking To Scare Up Another Hit With ‘Ghostopolis'

Despite being panned by many critics, Hugh Jackman's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" made a killing at the box office over its opening weekend, and the Aussie star hopes to continue his success with "Ghostopolis."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hugh will leave the world of mutants behind for ghosts in an adaptation of Doug TenNapel's graphic novel.
