Academy Awards performers Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman are in talks to reteam for another song and dance number – in a forthcoming movie musical about circus showman P.T. Barnum. Oscar host Jackman brought Broadway glamour to the awards show in February, opening the ceremony with an upbeat song-and-dance routine featuring the Get Smart star. Jackman has since signed on with Twentieth Century Fox to play the three-ring circus pioneer in The Greatest Showman on Earth. According to Daily Variety, Hathaway is in talks to play his love interest Jenny Lind – the famed circus singer Barnum dubbed the Swedish Nightingale. British singer-songwriter Mika is reportedly in negotiations to write music and lyrics for the project. Jackman will also produce the film with his Seed Productions partner, John Palermo.
