Jack Black has expressed interest in the possibility of creating a sequel to the beloved 2003 film 'School of Rock,' under one condition. The original movie, directed by Richard Linklater and written by Mike White, featured Black in the lead role as Dewey Finn, a struggling musician who poses as a substitute teacher and transforms his class into a rock band.
In a recent interview with JOE, Black shared his enthusiasm for the idea of 'School of Rock 2,' even suggesting a title for the potential sequel: 'School of Rock 2 Electric Boogaloo.' However, Black emphasized that any follow-up project would require the involvement of Mike White as the writer, acknowledging White's talent and creativity.
Black's exact words were, 'I wish there’d be a School of Rock 2 Electric Boogaloo. I’m ready. You know Mike White wrote the first one and he’s a genius. And we’d have to have Mike White back in the saddle, but he’s real busy right now with White Lotus, the best show on TV.'
While Black's interest in a sequel has sparked excitement among fans of the original film, it remains to be seen whether 'School of Rock 2' will indeed come to fruition. Mike White's current commitments may present a challenge in bringing the project to life, but the prospect of a reunion between Black and White for a new installment in the 'School of Rock' franchise is certainly intriguing.
As fans eagerly await further developments, the possibility of revisiting the world of 'School of Rock' with a sequel promises to reignite nostalgia and excitement for audiences who have cherished the original film for nearly two decades.
