Movie sounds very interesting. And Jackman doesn't sign up for much crap.

"Hugh Jackman is circling a forthcoming flick that will tell the story of the MI6 agent who inspired the character M in the James Bond movies.

A bidding war recently broke out over the script – which is entitled Section 6 – with The Wrap reporting that Universal landed the rights for a whopping $1.2m.

Penned by up-and-coming writer Aaron Berg the film is an “historical spy thriller [that] follows the World War I-era formation of British intelligence agency MI6 and it’s first director, Sir George Mansfield Cummings, who served as the inspiration for M in the James Bond series."

Jackman has apparently expressed an interest in playing the lead role, while directors Justin Lin and Brett Ratner are being talked about for helming duties."
