Carousel Movie News:

Headline: Hugh Jackman jumps on the Carousel!
3rd August 2006
Posted by: Gary Gray

Hugh Jackson has signed on to star in a remake of the classic musical Carousel. Fox 2000 are developing the remake and they are currently negotiating with the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization for rights to use the music and lyrics the duo wrote for the 1945 stage musical. It is thought that Jackman will play Billy Bigelow (a role he sung in a 2002 Carnegie Hall concert to honor Rodgers & Hammerstein), a carnival barker whose temper puts him in the middle of a botched robbery and leads to his death. Stuck in purgatory, he's given one day to return and fix the problems he left behind, namely a teenager who has a lot of his rebellious traits.
