Jack Black in Bourne spoof

Now don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of Jack Black's comedy gig. I find him funny and a pretty good actor. I also dig Tenacious D and have seen the D in concert where they rocked my socks of as it were. However, this just leaves me feeling a bit cold inside at the sheer naffness of it all.

Jack Black and "Kung Fu Panda" writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger are re-teaming for an untitled live-action action comedy at Universal Pictures says The Hollywood Reporter.

Described as a comedic take on "The Bourne Identity", the story sees Black as an American who finds himself washed up the shores of Cuba with no idea of who he is and how he got there. He comes to the conclusion that he must be a superspy, though in reality he is far from one.

You can see the hilarious consequences this will bring. It all seems a little forced and unoriginal in my opinion. It has shades of the pretty good Bill Murray movie, The Man Who Knew Too Little, and a whole sprinkling of Code Name: The Cleaner which IMDB describes as, "Cedric the Entertainer plays Jake, a seemingly regular guy who has no idea who he is after being hit over the head by mysterious assailants; when he finds himself entangled in a government conspiracy, Jake and his pursuers become convinced that he is an undercover agent."

Does that sound like a certain Jack Black news story that you've only just read? What do you think of the Jack Black Bourne movie idea? Can you see it hitting the screens? How do you think the plot will develop?
