Hugh Jackman to Headline Unintentional OCD Thriller Six Years

A new "Best Seller" titled Six Years is out today and Showbiz being what it is; some executive at some studio (Paramount) either read a galley or merely the plot synopsis and thought "Hey women love Hugh Jackman! They'll accept this otherwise Restraining Order attitude!" and eureka it's in development.

Here's the aforementioned breakdown:

"Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.

But six years haven’t come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary, he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for . . . but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life—a time he has never gotten over—is turned completely inside out.

As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can’t be found or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart—and who lied to him—soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction."

Remember that Simpsons episode where Marge gets turned on at the thought of Mel Gibson (back when his bigotry was kept under the radar)? That's how your wife thinks of Jackman. Accept it and move on, pal.
