The story follows an employee of the government’s Supernatural Immigrant Task Force whose tasked with sending ghosts who’ve escaped into the outside world back to Ghostopolis. The agent’s job gets complicated, however, when a living boy is accidentally sent to Ghostopolis, forcing him to team up with a female ghost (and former girlfriend!!!!) to retrieve him.

No director has yet been chosen for the project, which will be produced through Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness‘ Seed Productions.
