Jack Black on Whether We'll See a SCHOOL OF ROCK or a TENACIOUS D Sequel in the Future
One of actor Jack Black’s most beloved films is the 2003 comedy School of Rock, which has gone on to inspire a Broadway musical, as well as a generation of kids to pick up instruments and get rockin’! The film hits its 20th anniversary this year, and as fans are getting sequels to many favorite films decades later (Top Gun: Maverick), some are wondering if we may possibly see another School of Rock.
In a recent interview with City Babs of SiriusXM radio, Black and his Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass were asked if they had plans for either School of Rock 2 or a sequel to the Tenacious D movie. Black responded:
"Yup. Both of them. Breaking news. We're thinking about doing both of those."
Gass added to the joke, saying the two sequels are being done as one project, "It's a hybrid, School of D.”
It was pointed out that School of Rock had a hand in shaping an entire generation of young musicians, to which Black said "Thank you, that means a lot." While it remains to be seen if any truth at all was in Black's claim that School of Rock 2 is moving along, he did note his responsibility to inspire people to both rock – and NOT ROCK, if they have no actual talent:
"We strive to inspire but we also, we also sometimes, we discourage if we feel like we tried and we've seen what you've done and we don't think you rock you should stop rocking. We do both. We build them up and we tear them down. But thank you for noticing the good parts."
It doesn’t sound like anything is solidly in the works as of right now, but we will keep you posted if that changes. Are you hoping for a Jack Black sequel?
