Fox falls for Jones' 'HALL PASS'
Farrelly brothers to produce
by Michael Fleming

In a high six-figure deal, 20th Century Fox has purchased "Hall Pass," a spec script by Pete Jones. Conundrum's Peter and Bobby Farrelly and BradleyThomas will produce the film, which could shape up asa directing vehicle for the sibs behind "There's Something About Mary." Jones, best known as the subject of the first "ProjectGreenlight" with his movie "Stolen Summer," has scripted a relationship comedy in which a married couple find themselves going through the motions. The wife gives her husband a "hall pass," which means permission to engage in extracurriculars. Complications ensue. Conundrum's Mark Charpentier brought in the project, which was packaged by CAA, with Jones' attorney Jeffrey Abrams assisting. Fox's Debbie Liebling will oversee the pic.

Pete is an old pal from Project Greenlight days and I always said he was the perfect person to have been picked the winner of the first PGL contest. He's a real nice guy and he deserves all the success that's sure to come his way. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
