Dane Cook Action Star?

Dane Cook recently told MTV that he wants to do some action movies. I bet that if he does one, it will have great lines like "I'll be back" and "Make my day" in them. Those lines have been taken already you say? Yeah, well so have some of the jokes that Dane Crook tells in his routines. That's never stopped him before.

Believe it, 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."

Stunts, action, and humor? I think he's right! I've never seen that stuff in a movie before. That is an interesting angle.

"I just watched ‘Lethal Weapon' the other day and it's like, if you watch that movie now it's incredible how it goes from being really funny and silly to really tragic. There's some wild stuff in there," Cook said of the film's tone, one he wants to strike with "Dead Already." "I forgot how many scenes in this movie are dealing with suicide and all kinds of insane, heavy topics. Then all of a sudden he's being wacky and doing Three Stooges. I haven't seen anything like that in an action movie since. I'd love to see or be a part of a movie that pulls that off again."

Wait...what? You want to do heavy topics than shift to being wacky in a movie that "pulls that off again?" Is he saying that he saw someone's stuff and he wants to do a version of that? That would be like stealing wouldn't it? Like for example, you hear a joke...let say it's about getting new shoes, only you change it to getting new boots and then use it. That's like stealing, right? Maybe I don't understand this show business thing...

I think I'm going to order some Keith Malley DVDs and then I could become a comic too. I didn't know it was so easy!
