Hugh Jackman is Avon Man!

Hugh Jackman is to star in 20th Century Fox’s AVON MAN, a pitch that they picked up from HITCH scribe Kevin Bisch. Variety reports:

The story follows men laid off from an auto dealership. One is reluctantly recruited into becoming an Avon salesman, and while the experience is initially emasculating, he uses his charm and good looks to become a top seller.

The car salesman sets out to save his financially strapped family and town by conscripting his buddies into the makeup business to win a regional contest.

Jackman and Seed Productions partner John Palermo will produce the film with Gary Foster at Krasnoff Foster Entertainment.
