Fox has preemptively bought Mike Arnold and Chris Poole's spec "Beaujolais" for Bobby and Peter Farrelly to produce through their Conundrum banner as a potential directing vehicle.

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 Farrellys most recently helmed "Heartbreak Kid." Their comedy TV series "Unhitched" is on Fox.
