Jackman starring in PRISONERS?
It was recently noted in New Haven, Connecticut’s local newspaper, the Valley Independent Sentinel, that Antoine Fuqua’s PRISONERS will be shooting in nearby Derby, Connecticut. Not big news, but there is other information in the article that is pretty interesting, as it mentions that Hugh Jackman will be starring in the film. The exact quote is, “Local officials said they’ve been told Hugh Jackman is attached to the movie.”
So, it is not confirmed by that Jackman will be in the film, but it could very well be true because you would think the officials had to hear Jackman’s name from somewhere. It could be that Jackman is just interested in the project, and the source was misheard, but it seems like there is something to this given the nature of the source and article. So, I guess we should take this somewhat seriously at this point.
The article also included a synopsis from a letter written by the film’s executive director, John Starke:
“PRISONERS is about two families who live across the street from each other…These lifelong friends are thrust into turmoil when their two youngest daughters go missing. The movie centers on the family’s desperation in finding their children with the help of their neighbors and local police force; especially one police detective.”
