Summary
- Hugh Jackman to play Blackbeard in a 'Treasure Island' remake.
- Filming will require extensive travel, separating him from Sutton Foster.
- The movie, directed by Ridley Scott, is set for a 2027 release.
Hugh Jackman is preparing to film a major remake of "Treasure Island," a role that will see him portraying the notorious pirate Blackbeard. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film is slated for a theatrical release on November 11, 2027. Jackman's commitment to the project involves significant travel and extended periods away from his girlfriend, Sutton Foster.
This demanding filming schedule, which includes "intense location work and a lot of globe-trotting," is a point of adjustment for Foster, who desires a more low-key life. "Treasure Island" represents a significant blockbuster opportunity for Jackman, aligning with his career in high-risk, big-budget filmmaking. Despite the potential strain on their relationship, sources indicate Foster understands Jackman's dedication to such ambitious projects.
