The Hugh Jackman Treasure Island project is waiting on its cameras while the star himself enjoys a spring day at home. On Tuesday the Australian actor was photographed with his partner Sutton Foster on Bondi Beach, and on the same day it emerged that Ridley Scott’s film has missed its planned November start.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster at Bondi Beach
The Daily Mail reports that the pair spent a relaxed Tuesday on the sand, chatting, playing frisbee and walking the shoreline before settling down for what it called an extended catch-up. Foster wore a white T-shirt, black cycling shorts and a navy bucket hat, with her hair in two braids. Jackman wore patterned board shorts and later added a long-sleeve top.
Gossip site LaineyGossip notes the outing has been reported as the first time Foster has joined him at home in Australia. StyleCaster, citing the Daily Mail, says photos also showed the couple on the balcony of Jackman’s North Bondi penthouse. He bought the home with his former wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, in 2015 and kept it in their divorce, StyleCaster says. It adds that the couple met while working on The Music Man.
Some social media users reacted harshly to the balcony photos. That is online commentary, not reporting, and none of the outlets we read cite a statement from Jackman or Foster about the trip. We have not repeated anonymous claims about their private lives.
We covered the trip when it was first reported in Hugh Jackman Brings Sutton Foster to Australia for First Time.
Why Treasure Island has not started shooting
World of Reel says Scott told the industry in August that production would begin on 1 November. Sony built its calendar around that date and slotted the film for release on 11 November 2027. That date has passed and the film is still in pre-production.
The site reports that Scott, who turns 89 this month, had a medical procedure in London last week. His representative, Simon Halls, told People it was “a really minor procedure” and that the director is doing fine. Doctors have advised him not to fly while he recovers, World of Reel adds, citing The Hollywood Reporter.
That advice matters because Scott has been scouting locations for the film, including in the Canary Islands. No one at Sony or Scott Free has officially called it a delay, according to World of Reel, which says a fan account, The Ridley Scott Archives, has.
The no-fly advice also affects this Sunday. Scott is due to receive an honorary Oscar at the Academy’s Governors Awards, his first Academy trophy after four competitive nominations. He has pre-taped his acceptance speech, the report says.
How fast the Jackman film came together
The speed of the project explains why a short slip feels significant. World of Reel says the package, built around a script by Jack Thorne with Jackman in the lead, reached the market in June. Sony stepped in by late July. Hugh Grant and Owen Cooper joined soon after, and a release date followed by late September.
Cost is the pressure point. Scott recently said it could be the biggest budget of his career before tax incentives, which the report puts above $200 million. World of Reel notes his recent run of expensive films, including Napoleon, Gladiator II and The Dog Stars, has struggled commercially. Its verdict is blunt: another long delay could force the release date to move.
Other Jackman news
LaineyGossip also points out that The Prestige, the cult favourite in which Jackman starred, is due back in IMAX and 70mm in January to mark its anniversary. Fans looking for more can browse everything we publish on Hugh Jackman or the wider Movies section.
What happens next
Nothing official has been announced about a new start date for Treasure Island. The next confirmed event is Sunday’s Governors Awards, where Scott’s pre-recorded speech will play. Whether the film holds its 11 November 2027 release date will depend on how soon he is cleared to travel and cameras can roll. Jackman, meanwhile, has made no public comment on either story.
