Seed Productions was a film production company associated with 20th Century Fox , started by Australian actors Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness , with producer and business partner John Palermo.
The company's headquarters were located at the 20th Century Fox lot at Century City, Los Angeles, California , however an Australian office was opened in 2006 at Fox Studios Australia in Sydney .[ 1]
Seed's first planned project was X-Men Origins: Wolverine , a film detailing the origins of the character Wolverine played by Jackman in the X-Men film series .[ 2] Wolverine was scheduled to begin filming just after completion of the third film in the series, X-Men: The Last Stand , but production delays delayed principal filming in New Zealand until January 18, 2008.[ 3] In the meantime, the company produced The List starring Ewan McGregor , three cricket documentaries starring Jackman's best friend Gus Worland, and the short-lived television series Viva Laughlin .
Seed Productions closed in 2010, with Jackman deciding to focus on his acting career, while Palermo would have a new producing deal at 20th Century Fox.[ 4]
