Make no mistake. Dane Cook is not funny. Not even close. The fact that he keeps getting work in Hollywood, much less anywhere, is as much of a mystery to me as Uwe Boll’s ability to find projects. So when I hear of yet another Cook disaster vehicle it makes me shudder. Today is no different as I learned from an interview between MTV and Dane “Not Funny” Cook:

Cook teased, saying he’s getting ready to give the Superfinger to crime in “Dead Already,” a buddy cop movie “in the vein of ‘Lethal Weapon.’”

“It’s got a really interesting take-off from the typical buddy cop movie which has been done in so many ways. This definitely had an element that was like, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen that before,’” he said of the script, which he’s currently looking at as a starring vehicle. “You got some crazy stunts and action sequences, but you got some comedy in there too. We’ll see if we can get it off the ground, but I certainly would like to play in that area.”

“Dead Already” is just one of several action pictures Cook currently has in various stages of development, he said. But regardless of the movie he ultimately chooses, entering the action genre is definitely “the game plan next,” he insisted.

How dare Dane Cook liken “Lethal Weapon” to anything he’s involved in, ever. The only comparison he could make would be more like, “Remember how Lethal Weapon was really good? Well this won’t be.”
