When Deadpool & Wolverine was hitting the film launch schedule final 12 months, I did surprise what Hugh Jackman would do subsequent. Unsurprisingly, he headed again to his theater roots for From New York, With Love, which is predicted to maintain operating till October 2025. However on the film entrance his subsequent mission is a film about some sheep fixing a homicide, and I am unable to cease desirous about it.
Amazon confirmed up for the primary time this 12 months at CinemaCon 2025, and through CinemaBlend’s stay weblog of the entire occasion, there was a number of hope we’d get some Bond information. The closest factor we received to that was that some work has “began” in London, however to be sincere, it didn’t actually matter as a result of the film I’m nonetheless desirous about days later truly needed to do with Hugh Jackman and the sheep fixing a homicide.
Amazon introduced Three Luggage Full: A Sheep Detective Film – a film actually about some sheep who’re devastated and attempt to work out whodunnit after their shepherd dies –and the vibe within the crowd was audibly giving a “what is that this?” kind of bent.
However then we received footage from the studio, and to be sincere, the film seems pleasant. I’d nonetheless argue Three Luggage Full reads extra like a Hallmark film title than a giant display enterprise, however Amazon is dedicated to bringing this one to the massive display, and after seeing the primary look, it doesn’t look half baaaa-d. I do know, I could not assist myself.
Hugh Jackman theatrical follow-up after Deadpool & Wolverine with somewhat film from none apart from Kyle Balda, who helmed a bunch of Despicable Me franchise tasks for Common. Chernobyl and The Final of Us’ Craig Mazin wrote the script and a few main expertise is concerned, and after I say main I imply it:
- Hugh Jackman
- Bryan Cranston
- Emma Thompson
- Nicholas Galitzine (Heartstopper)
- Patrick Stewart
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus
- Regina Corridor
- Nicholas Braun (Succession)
- Molly Gordon (The Bear)
- Chris O’Dowd
However expertise alone doesn’t essentially make for a superb film, and Three Luggage Full will probably rise or fall primarily based on its tone, which appears each amusing and fascinating. As for its title, the film is definitely primarily based on the guide of the identical title by Leonie Swan, a guide you’ll be able to buy on Amazon and is known as a “intelligent spin” and an “offbeat yarn” (sure these are each wool nods) on the detective style.
Three Luggage Full isn’t anticipated to return to theaters till 2026, nevertheless it’s a part of a brand new transfer from Amazon to work towards reinvigorating the theatrical enterprise. Amazon has dedicated upwards of 15 motion pictures for full theatrical runs within the coming years in order that audiences can proceed having fun with motion pictures on the massive display. And hey, at the least Jackman will not have to fret about peeing within the Wolverine swimsuit for this one…
The studio actually had a giant win with Pink One final 12 months (although much less so on the field workplace), and it was a giant transfer to see the studio present up at CinemaCon this 12 months, and alongside properties like Bond, it’s good to see Amazon additionally investing in some originals (and perhaps promoting a number of books on the facet within the meantime).
I didn’t have this on my bingo card when it got here to Hugh Jackman’s upcoming roles, however the premise is so wacky it simply would possibly work, and it actually made for one of the fascinating moments at CinemaCon this 12 months. Together with Three Luggage Full, Jackman will even be starring in Apostle Paul, The Dying of Robin Hood, and Track Sung Blue, which can also be in post-production.
And within the meantime, there’s all the time that 8-hour video of Jackman respiration in the event you want a fast repair.
