Pitch sale:”Untitled Jack Black Comedy”

Universal lands the newest Jack Black comedy vehicle, an untitled pitch from writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger:

A sort of comedic “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.

Universal picked up the project as a pitch in a seven-figure deal.

“For our next live-action project, we knew we wanted to work with either a panda or Jack. Luckily, Endeavor repped Jack,” Aibel said. “We also figured that if we could write for Jack as a panda, we could write for him as a human.”
