"School of Rock 2" in a Go Mode
Oh, this makes me happy. Variety is reporting that Paramount is moving forward with School of Rock 2.
Apparently, they were waiting to read Mike White’s script for the sequel, and it sounds like they liked what they saw.
The sequel has Jack Black attached to reprise his role as rock star wannabe/substitute teacher Dewey Finn (it just wouldn’t be the same without him!). Richard Linklater is attached to direct again, and Scott Rudin is returning as producer.
The follow-up,titled School of Rock 2: America Rocks, picks up with Finn 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. Sounds like a winner to me.
The original was a huge box office hit, costing just $30 million to make and earning $131 million worldwide.
