April 16, 2008


Variety reports that 20th Century Fox has preemptively bought Mike Arnold and Chris Poole's script Beaujolais for Bobby and Peter Farrelly to produce through their Conundrum production company as a potential directing vehicle.

The project has been dubbed a redneck action-adventure with a protagonist along the lines of an Austin Powers or Ace Ventura.

Conundrum's Bradley Thomas is producing alongside the Farrellys.

"We haven't stepped up and done something like us in a while," Bobby Farrelly said. "Everything sort of aligned for us on this project."

The Farrelly Bros are my people! But a redneck lead character? That sounds like Larry The Cable Guy. C'mon Peter! Bobby! NOT LARRY THE CABLE GUY! ANYONE BUT LARRY THE CABLE GUY! Get David Koechner to play his T-Bone character the guy is hilarious!

Hasnt this already been attempted with Larry The Cable Guy?
I honestly dont know how you can make a redneck appealing to urban america. A character like that will be big in Texas, Alabama, and the rest of the mid southern states.
Farrelly brother lost their touch anyways...all they do now is crap like the Heartbreak kid

The Farrellys haven't had a bona fide hit in ages. I can't imagine a redneck character re-invigorating their abilities.

Man if only they could have another Kingpin.
Actually I think I'm gonna go watch that and pretend heartbreak kid never happened and that they died after making kinpin in a horrible plane crash. That way there credibility will still be intact.
