Looks like Jack Black will be re-teaming with the writers of this summer’s surprise hit (and currently the sixth highest grossing movie of 2008), Kung Fu Panda. Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger are writing a live-action comedy that will supposedly skewer the Bourne series, albeit somewhat indirectly. Black will star and also produce.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “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 assumes that he is a superspy, although that ends up being quite far from the truth.

Aibel had this to say: “For our next live-action project, we knew we wanted to work with either a panda or Jack. Luckily, Endeavor repped Jack. We also figured that if we could write for Jack as a panda, we could write for him as a human.” Funny. Seriously though, I think this project has a lot of potential, as long as they don’t try to stick too closely to parodying direct scenes a la Superhero Movie, and as long as they don’t forget to write actual jokes a la Disaster Movie. Thoughts?
