Variety reports 20th Century Fox has picked up a spec script by Dario Scardapane titled "Fed X," to which they hope Hugh Jackman will topline. Jackman would also produce with his Seed Production partner John Palermo.

The story centers around 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.
