The musical is a cross between Chicago and The Killer, and it's working title at the moment is 'The Dancer'. Its based on a true story of a gangland boss, who was ruthless, but also loved dancing. Odd premise, but if anyone can pull it off, its John Woo.
Woo is after Hugh Jackman for a starring role in this action musical.
"I want to do an action-musical," says Woo, who's keen to sign Jackman after he wowed Broadway audiences with his all singing, all dancing portrayal of flamboyant entertainer Peter Allen.
"I have dreamed about doing it for seven years," says Woo, who grew up watching musicals in cinemas in Hong Kong.
"It's an American gangster movie and is about a gangster who is also a good dancer. It is not a singing movie, but there is dancing and action.
