JACKMAN BRINGS VIVA BLACKPOOL TO THE US
Hit BBC mystery-musical mini-series BLACKPOOL is being made into a pilot for US TV network CBS.
HUGH JACKMAN is set to appear as a guest in the renamed VIVA BLACKPOOL, which is being made for a reported $1 million (£555,000) and will serve as an executive producer on the project.
The mini-series revolves around sleazy small-time casino owner RIPLEY HOLDEN, who attempts to open a big time resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The show uses musical hits of the past and present to tell the story - which includes murder and mayhem, love and infidelity.
CBS landed the project after a fierce bidding war with rival US network ABC.
