Jack Black Puts Comedic Twist On ‘Bourne Identity’
Jack Black is Jason Bourne … sort of.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor will star in an untitled action comedy for Universal that is described as “a comedic take on ‘The Bourne Identity.’”
Black will play an American who washes up on the shores of Cuba with a bad case of amnesia and concludes he must be a superspy, à la Matt Damon’s character in the “Bourne” movie franchise.
The project reunites Black with “Kung Fu Panda” writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger.
Aibel and Berger, whose past credits include “King of the Hill,” is currently working on DreamWorks’ “Monsters Vs. Aliens,” which will be released in the spring.
Black will next appear in Harold Ramis’ adventure-comedy “Year One,” which also stars Michael Cera and Olivia Wilde.
