Jackman Takes Prisoners After All

Hugh Jackman will star in the long gestating thriller "Prisoners" says THR


Aaron Guzikowski's lauded script centers on a small-town carpenter named Keller (Jackman) whose young daughter and best friend are kidnapped. After the cops fail to find them, Keller takes the law into his own hands, but in the process runs up against the big city detective assigned to the case.

Incendies helmer Denis Villeneuve's calling action on the film.

This one's been around for quite some time folks...Over the years directors like Antoine Fuqua and Bryan Singer, and actors like Christian BaleMark Wahlberg Leonardo DiCaprio and even Jackman have all been attached at one point in in time. All of them dropped out for various reasons.

Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Kira Davis and Adam Kolbrenner will produce.

Production will begin early 2013, once Jackman completes "The Wolverine” with a November 2013 release  planned.
