JACK BLACK will no longer be appearing in 'Man-Witch,' a supernatural comedy being produced by Warner Bros., according to the Hollywood Reporter

The movie, about a man who discovers he's a witch and then ends up teaching at a female witch school, is to be produced by TODD PHILLIPS, the force behind such comedy hits as 'Old School' and 'Borat.'

Sources tell the trade publication the decision to part ways may have originated from Black's camp, which had questions about Phillips' commitment to direct the picture ahead of another Warner Bros. comedy, 'Hangover.'
