ACTOR Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in Automatik’s “Bad Education” from “Thoroughbreds” helmer Cory Finley.

    Plot details have not been released, however, the script was written by Mike Makowsky, who previously wrote the screenplays for “I Think We’re Alone Now” and “Take Me.”

    Makowsky, Fred Berger of “La La Land” fame, Automatik’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Sight Unseen’s Eddie Vaisman, Julia Lebedev and Oren Moverman are producing the film.

    Jackman was most recently seen on screen in the musical hit “The Greatest Showman.” He will next be seen on the big screen in Jason Reitman’s biopic “The Front Runner,” which follows Senator Gary Hart’s doomed presidential campaign in 1988. Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons and Courtney Ford also star.
