Wolvorine is the 'Avon Man'?!

20th Century Fox has now acquired a comedy titled Avon Man, according to Variety. Hugh Jackman will be staring, while Hitch writer Kevin Bisch scripts the movie. Jackman himself will produce, alongside Seed Prods. partner John Palermo and Gary Foster from Krasnoff Foster Entertainment.

As for the story it goes as follows: A car dealership lays off men and one of them gets recruited to become an Avon salesman. The experience initially seems emasculating but, the man then starts to use his charm and good looks to gain the position of top seller. The salesman then sets out on the mission to save his financially troubled family and town. He does this by conscripting his buddies into the business of makeup in an attempt to win a regional contest.

It seems like Hugh Jackman wants to try his luck with comedies for a change but, will he be able to pull it off?
