The actor has revealed that he has been approached to appear in the musical. "I loved the original production on Broadway - incredibly funny and terrific, great fun," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I was not sure how that would translate [to film], but the script at the moment is wonderful. I think they're trying to put the movie together, I don't think it's fully together yet, but they are talking to me about it, and I'm very interested in it." The Tony-nominated play is a spoof of musicals of the 1920s. Jackman was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the film adaptation of Les Misérables. He will next be seen in X-Men: Days of Future Past and Chappie. Related links:   Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
