20th Century Fox has acquired “Avon Man” from “Hitch” writer Kevin Bisch, which will be used as a comedic vehicle for Hugh Jackman.

The story follows Jackman’s character, who after being laid off from an auto dealership, ends up having to become an Avon makeup salesman, who uses his looks and personality to make sales. He eventually ends up recruiting many of his former coworkers to save his financially-dying town by winning a regional contest.

Jackman and his Seed Production partner John Palermo will be producing along with Gary Foster from Krasnoff Foster Entertainment. No other information on the project has been released so far.
