Hugh Jackman Leaves Production Company

Hugh Jackman has walked away from the production company he co-founded so he can concentrate on his acting career.
 
The X-Men star set up Seed Productions in 2006 with his former assistant John Palermo, and the firm backed films including Jackman's superhero movies X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
 
Jackman will continue working with the company on ongoing projects including the upcoming Wolverine sequel, which is set to begin filming in Japan early next year (11), and a remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel.
 
But Palermo will form a new company without Jackman for future projects, according to Deadline.com.

Jackman pulled out of movie Avon men earlier this week to prepare for the second Wolverine movie, we haven't seen Jackman on the big screen since X-Men Origins: Wolverine last year.

But the actor has been working on a string of projects including Butter and Shawn Levy's Real Steel.

He has also completed work on Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and an untitled comedy.
