Paramount goes back to 'School' - 'Rock' sequel reunites Black, Linklater, Rudin
School is back in session for Paramount Pictures. Studio is developing a "School of Rock" sequel, with Jack Black attached to reprise his role as rock star wannabe/substitute teacher Dewey Finn, who in the original film turned a class of fifth-grade high-achievers into high-voltage rock 'n' rollers. Richard Linklater is attached to direct again, and Scott Rudin is returning as producer. Mike White, who penned the 2003 comedy, is writing the screenplay, titled "School of Rock 2: America Rocks," which 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. Original film was a box office hit for the studio, costing just $30 million to make and earning $131 million worldwide.
(mmmhmm, and FPN is a good restaurant in the GA too....)
