Hugh Jackman and Marc Guggenheim are set to create 'Nowhere Man', a comic property for Virgin Comics that will serve as a springboard for a feature film that Jackman would star in and produce.
Variety reports that the story would involve an "I Am Legend" type character 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," Jackman's producing partner John Palermo said.
Said Jackman: "I've had so much fun in the graphic novel world with the 'X-Men' franchise that I wanted to get even more involved. I'm excited to work with Virgin and Marc and create a compelling character and story that hopefully will also make it to the bigscreen."
Guggenheim is a staple writer for Marvel Comics these days, as well as a successful TV producer, behind such shows as 'Eli Stone'.
