For a film that had a lot of question marks hanging over its head once upon a time—Richard Linklater making a family-friendly kids comedy written by and starring the creative team behind the very forgettable Orange County? Who’d ever fall in love with that?—2003's School Of Rock has had a surprisingly long legacy.
None of which has apparently fulfilled Black’s hunger for even more time as music teacher/charming fraud committer Dewey Finn, telling JOE this week that he’s “ready” to see School Of Rock 2 get off the ground. Given that Black is currently promoting his fourth installment of the Kung Fu Panda movies, his zeitgeist-seizing sequel instincts are pretty clearly on point. But also, he just sounds genuinely nostalgic for the project.
