Jack Black reveals School of Rock reunion is in pipeline

Jack Black has confirmed that he will be reuniting with the ‘School Of Rock‘ cast to celebrate 20 years since the film’s release.

The actor, 53, starred as substitute music teacher Dewey Finn in the Richard Linklater directed flick way back in 2004, and by the sound of it, even Jack can’t believe just how quickly time has flown.

While promoting his new film The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which sees the star voice bad guy Bowser, Jack spoke about School of Rock’s 20-year anniversary in September.

‘All those kids – dig this – they were 10 years old when we made that movie and now they’re all, like, 30,’ he said.

‘We’re gonna get together and have a 20-year anniversary. We like to jam. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the grownups from School of Rock,’ the A-lister added to ET.

What’s more, he also promised to ‘100%’ post photos of the cast’s get together. Hell yeah.

Black’s comments come after he hinted at a sequel to ‘School of Rock’ in January.

During a joint interview with his Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass, Jack admitted he was considering both ‘School of Rock 2’ and a sequel to the pair’s 2006 cult musical flick, ‘Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny’.

He said on SiriusXM: “Yup. Both of them. Breaking news. We’re thinking about doing both of those.”

Glass then quipped: “It’s a hybrid – a school of D.”

In 2012, Black claimed ‘School of Rock’ director Richard Linklater had a different vision for a second movie to his, but he didn’t rule out a sequel entirely.

He explained to The New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column at the time: “I wouldn’t want to do it without the original writer and director, and we never all got together and saw eye-to-eye on what the script would be.

“It was not meant to be, unfortunately. But never say never.”
