Actor Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in the film Bad Education.

Mike Makowsky has penned the script and Cory Finley will direct the project, reports variety.com.

Though plot details are being kept under wraps, the script, according to sources, has an “election” feel and is based on true events that Makowsky experienced at his high school.

Following a busy 2017, which included the release of two box office hits, Logan and The Greatest Showman, as well as shooting Jason Reitman’s The Front Runner, Jackman is now leaning towards Bad Education.
