12/8/05: JACK BLACK PLANS TO PLAY SUPERHERO



Hollywood funnyman JACK BLACK is planning to take on the might of BATMAN and SPIDER-MAN with his own superhero in a new movie - who is blessed with amazing mental powers.

The KING KONG actor is hoping to turn the superhero genre on its head with a novel twist in the currently un-named film.

He says, "(In the movie) I am an astronaut who got too close to the sun. I come back to Earth and something is wrong with me but whenever the sun hits me I become the smartest man in the world. Hilarious!"

I can't stand Jack Black. I can deal with him in a small supporting role, ie Saving Silverman, but I find him incredibly irritating and overdramatic.

Oy! I Love Jack Black! School of Rock was hilarious!

he is funny in small doses. i.e the motorcyle guy in "Anchorman".
but i have to say the concept of the film is just brilliant, brilliant i tell you! Oscar is on the way for this gem.
