Jack Black mentioned a wee while ago that he and writer Mike White were looking at doing a sequel to their surprise hit “School of Rock”. Today, Variety announced that Paramount are keener than Catherine to do it.
The former-home-of-Tom-Cruise has greenlit a sequel to the Richard Linklater-directed smash. Linklater will again direct. Mike White will write the script.
“School of Rock 2: America Rocks,” picks up with Dewey Finn (Black) leading a group of summer school students on a cross-country field trip that delves into the history of rock ‘n’ roll and explores the roots of blues, rap, country and other genres.
Could be good…. could also be “D2 : The Mighty Ducks”.
