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, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The comedy would serve as a possible starring vehicle for Sandler.

The studio is keeping the plot outline 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.
