The film will tell the story of American showman P. T. Barnum (Hugh Jackman) who had a knack for hoaxing a gullible public even as he created the three-ring circus that made him a household name. The pic also traces his infatuation with singer Jenny Lind known as the Swedish Nightingale. The Lind role was being eyed for Anne Hathaway way back when...Now it's uncast according to Variety
Jenny Bicks wrote the script with British pop singer-songwriter Mika to write the music and lyrics for the film.
"Dreamgirls" producer, Laurence Mark, will oversee production with Jackman and John Palermo set to produce.
The timing of this news is interesting since news that Gracey will helm Disney's Snow White reboot The Order Of The Seven set in 19th Century China. Then again since Jackman has The Wolverine and Les Miserables on his roster Gracey can easily do both pics
