Richard Linklater originally passed on the film because it was cheesy and formulaic.

‘s hit comedy. The film, written by “The White Lotus” creator Mike White, cast Black as Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck guitarist who puts together a makeshift band of kid musicians while substitute teaching at a prep school.

Cast member Jordan-Claire Green, who played “groupie” Michelle, was just a kid on the set and remembered Black accidentally cursing around his much younger co-stars. Linklater, who scored his biggest hit with “School of Rock” and its $131 million worldwide gross, admitted that he originally passed on the film when he first read the script.

Black remembered Linklater going over the entire script “to try to keep it grounded, keep it real, even though it comes off kind of crazy.”
