Boy, Hugh Jackman's wife must get so sick of seeing his ass
on her sofa all day, every day. It's like the guy never does anything - I mean, according to the IMDb, the lazy bastard
only has 11 movies due out in the next two years. God damn slacker. Actually, make it 12: Jackman's added yet another film to that slate, this one a noir-ish action flick that he'll also co-produce. Entitled Drive, the movie will be based on a book by badass crime novelist James Sallis, about "a stuntman who moonlights as a wheelman during robberies and discovers that a contract has been put on him." Awesome. According to Jackman's production partner, the duo see the project as offering the actor "a great Steve McQueen-type role." Did I mention awesome? The quality of Jackman's projects is mind-blowing unpredictable, but this one sounds promising - it'll be nice to see him get into a raw, macho-type role without having to be oddly hairy or battling supernatural enemies.

That's great news about "Drive." James Sallis is truly one of the great writers around, so it's cool to see some of his stuff on the big screen.
