Jack-N-Judd

Diane Garrett of Variety:

Jack Black is starring in "Year One," a comedy Judd Apatow is producing for Columbia.



Harold Ramis, who appears in a small role in Apatow's "Knocked Up," will direct and co-produce, and Michael Cera, who stars in "Supbad," another Apatow production for Col, is also attached to star.

Ramis co-wrote the project with "The Office" scribes Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg based on his story. Owen Wilson will exec produce.

Black, who last starred in "The Holiday" for the studio, recently wrapped Michel Gondry's "Be Kind Rewind" and "Margot at the Wedding," directed by Noah Baumbach. Both will be released later this year. He is currently voicing the lead in the DreamWorks toon "Kung Fu Panda"...

There are some really talented folks working on this flick--Hopefully this will make for a funnier movie--than Black's last laffer--Nacho Libre...which was really disappointing,
