Hugh, Mika, Anne, Oh My!

Big news!
First and foremost, Hugh Jackman is now attached to play P.T. Barnum in Twentieth Century Fox’s The Greatest Showman on Earth, which will be an original musical with a the screenplay by Sex and The City screenwriter, Jenny Bicks.
Jackman will play the showman as he grows his now famous three-ring circus.
Also very exciting, the musical will have a contemporary original score, and apparently the studio is in talks with none other than Mika to write the music and lyrics!!!
Amazing!!
And, the love interest is supposedly being written for Anne Hathaway (yes!). 
This could be gold!├é┬á Can’t wait to hear the final cast and writing team!!
