Variety reports that Fox just dropped a few bucks on Dario Scardapane’s spec script "Fed X," which is now being tailored as an action vehicle for Hugh Jackman.
"In "Fed X," Jackman will play a green FBI agent sent to Miami to retrieve a criminal for prosecution. During the return trip, the fed and the thug each learn there’s more to the other than expected.
Scardapane, who last worked for Fox on "Fantastic Voyage," recently made a deal to turn the Hong Kong film "Cheung Fo" into Peter Berg-directed drama "The Mission" at Universal. He’s also writing Los Angeles crime drama pilot "Faceless" for Fox Broadcasting, Management 360 and Flame TV. Joe Carnahan will direct the pilot and exec produce with Scardapane."
