Jackman Unveils Baaadly Funny Sheep Detective Movie

As a film enthusiast myself, let me share an intriguing tidbit: I’m thrilled to inform you that Hugh Jackman, known for his role as Wolverine, is swapping his claws for shepherd’s horns in the upcoming movie “Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story,” where he stars alongside Emma Thompson. This film, with a title that hints at its unique nature, revolves around a detective mystery involving sheep – yes, you read it right!

To provide some clarity about this elusive premise, Hugh Jackman made an appearance at CinemaCon 2025 to share more insights and even unveiled the first sneak peek of the Amazon feature. He described it as a “whodunit,” adding a touch of suspense to our anticipation for its release.

During the Amazon MGM Studios panel on Wednesday evening, The Hollywood Reporter was present, and after the footage was presented, Thompson shared her excitement and passion for the project. She remarked, “As you’ll find in the clip, it’s an incredible, affectionate, breathtaking concept – this blend of animals and humans.” Jackman offered a glimpse into what viewers can anticipate with another sneak peek behind the scenes. “The film is a bit of a mystery to solve, which is always intriguing,” he said, further explaining, “The movie has such warmth.

The article mentions that it was no surprise when the clips were attacked by sheep, yet they provided additional details about the story. In the movie “Three Bags Full“, Jackman plays a main character, but he will be shepherding rather than investigating. His character is George Hardy, a man who cherishes his sheep so deeply that he tells them a bedtime mystery as a murder story each night. This ritual benefits the sheep when George is found dead under puzzling conditions, because they now possess the necessary knowledge to solve the case – “even though it means venturing out of their pasture for the first time and confronting the reality that the human world isn’t always as straightforward as it seems in books.
