Jorma Taccone got his first break writing for Saturday Night Live before becoming a director with the SNL movie, MacGruber. Although that film flopped, Taccone’s now ready for his follow-up, as THR reports he’s signed on to helms the comic book adaptation, The Great Unknown.

The project is based on Duncan Rouleau’s comics, which centre on a slacker who becomes convinced that all of his great ideas are somehow being pilfered from his mind. Even though he can’t convince his friends and family that his thoughts are being stolen, he goes on a quest to find the idea thieves.

Taccone will direct The Great Unknown from an adapted screenplay by Michael Starrbury, although it isn’t known when it might shoot.
