We know we just pledged to not care too much about Hugh Jackman’s next move, but we might as well inform you of one reason why he may not have accepted Steven Soderbergh’s invitation to play Marc Antony in “Cleo” 3D. Zack Snyder (possible future 20th Century Fox vault treasure “Watchmen“) has cast the “X-Men” movies star to add his voice to an adaptation of the children’s book series Guardians of Ga’Hoole”, which is a supposedly “Harry Potter“-esque tale of an owl that flees its oppressive owl kidnappers to fight against them on the side of wise owls that live on the island of Ga’Hoole.
Hugo Weaving (“The Matrix,” “V for Vendetta“) and Ryan Kwanten (HBO‘s “True Blood“) have also been tapped to lend their voices to what could only be described as the final piece of the puzzle needed for a crappy “Children’s Movie” parody. The animated/3D “Ga’Hoole” is set to open July 30th, 2010. We still think Jackman signed up to work on the lesser of the two 3D projects. [via SlashFilm] – Christopher Adams
