Walt Disney Pictures has acquired rights to the Cecelia Ahern novel If You Could See Me Now and will turn it into a musical vehicle for Hugh Jackman, reports Variety. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will produce with Jackman and John Palermo.
Ceclia is the 23-year-old daughter of Ireland's prime minister Bertie Ahern. Zadan and Meron executive-produced Chicago and will produce Hairspray for New Line.
Jackman would play the imaginary friend of a lonely 6-year-old who has been left behind by his mother and is being raised by his aunt. The twist: The aunt can suddenly see the imaginary friend, and a romance blossoms between them.
Hyperion will publish the book early next year.
Jackman, who is filming X-Men 3, and Palermo are also producing a Wolverine spinoff that is being written by David Benioff for Fox.
