Columbia Pictures has pre-emptively acquired the spec "Jack and Jill," by actor-scribe Ben Zook, for Jack Giarraputo and Adam Sandler to produce via their Sony-based Happy Madison banner. The comedy would serve as a possible starring vehicle for Sandler. Todd Garner brought the project to Happy Madison, and he will also produce through his Broken Road Prods. Columbia paid $350,000 against $1 million for the comedy, whose plot line the studio is keeping under wraps, though it is known to be about fraternal twins. Zook co-wrote, co-directed and co-starred in the 1999 comedy "Can't Stop Dancing." Actingwise, he is working on Lifetime's "Lovespring" and has "Tom, Dick, and Harry" set up at New Line and "I Hate Valentine's Day" at Revolution. Zook is repped by Viviano-Feldman Entertainment and attorney Karl Austen. Sandler next appears in Sony's comedy "Click." He is repped by Endeavor and Brillstein-Grey.
