Live-Action/CGI Outfoxed

New Line Cinema has acquired rights to Outfoxed, a live-action/CGI feature to be written by Cheryl Heuton and Nick Falacci and produced by BBC Films.

Set in the world of English fox hunting, the story follows the adventures of a fox wrongly accused of killing the pet of a wealthy matron. To catch the cunning and elusive fox, the local hunt club enlists the skills of a tenacious and determined American foxhound. The fox must avoid being caught by the foxhound long enough to prove his innocence and ensure the safety of his fellow foxes.

Heuton and Falacci, who are married, have a number of projects in the works, including the MGM thrillers The Cleaner and Three Miles Down, Universal/Imagine's family project Pet Heroes and the comedy Wild Man at New Line.
