In between providing voices for two animated movies, playing Wolverine in X-Men spinoffs and sequels, hanging around waiting for Baz Luhrman to make another movie, being booed by festival audiences for The Fountain, and starring in four or five major studio projects, Hugh Jackman has found the time necessary to squeeze in a little work on an indie movie. He's just that cool.
Variety says Hugh has signed up for an indie called A Plumm Summer, a movie following the story of two brothers from a bad home environment trying to crack the case of a kidnapped TV puppet named Froggy Doo in 1968 Montana. Yeah, sounds weird. But the cast includes Henry Winkler and William Baldwin.
The strange thing here is that IMDB and several other sources list the movie as already being in post-production. That usually means they're done with principle photography and it also means it's much to late to be adding to the cast. There are three possibilities. IMDB is wrong and they haven't started filming, Hugh hid his involvement in the film until just now, or A Plumm Summer is headed for massive reshoots.
Since it's an indie film and thus probably not gifted with a big budget, it seems more likely that the film simply got lost in Hugh's imposing list of other projects until just now.
