As soon as he’s finished work on X-Men 3 and sheathed those claws, Hugh Jackman’s off to star in Chris Nolan’s The Prestige. But after that? 20th Century Fox want him to star in a romantic comedy.
Rebound Guy tells the tale of a wild bachelor who only ever dates women on the – you guess correctly – rebound, figuring that they’re not after a serious relationship. But then he falls in love with one of these rebound girls and ends up having to make her fall for another “rebound guy” so he can pick up the pieces and be that serious relationship.
Jennifer Robinson and Dyanne Stempel are writing the script.
