One of my favorite movies of all time is Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige.

One of my favorite screenwriters of all time is Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing, Sports Night).

I have a secret love of musicals.

So, when they announce that Hugh Jackman will be playing Harry Houdini in a musical written by Aaron Sorkin, it’s something my nerd brain can’t really take.  I realize, this is a project that may only interest me, but holy crap, this could be AMAZING.

Unfortunately, this won’t bow until 2013-14, so I guess that still gives me time to see The Book of Mormon, but…this could be something really special. I’ll be keeping an ear to the ground on this project.
