Hugh Jackman on leaving Wolverine behind to act with a 'beautiful hologram'
What does life after playing Wolverine for 17 years across 10 films look like? For Hugh Jackman, it means the leisure of being able to say "yes" to a film without even reading a finished script – like the mind-bending sci-fi thriller noir Reminiscence.
Writer-director Lisa Joy of Westworld fame told CNA Lifestyle that Jackman was her first and only choice as the lead, revealing that she flew to New York to pitch to him at his home. She said she would have never done the film if he said “no”.

“The brain of Lisa’s – to come up with something like this is so extraordinary! Working with her just felt like, well, I’ve never read a movie like this before,” he said. “And I think for movie goers it's going to be something really fresh and original.”
Having said farewell to his mutant alter-ego in 2017’s Logan – arguably the perfect swan song – Jackman has since impressed with massive successes in different genres, such as the blockbuster movie musical The Greatest Showman and the highly underrated dark comedy Bad Education.
So, how important is it for the 52-year-old to seek out new and original content, and play characters such as Reminiscence’s Nick Bannister, a former war vet turned "private investigator of the mind" who helps people access faded and forgotten memories in a not-too-far away dystopian future?
“Yeah, I think I've always looked for that,” Jackman told CNA Lifestyle.
