Before he went on to make HBO’s hit series The White Lotus, Mike White would partner with Jack Black for the charmingly funny music-themed comedy School of Rock. The movie drew on Black’s affinity for the music genre as he would previously play as one-half of the rock duo Tenacious D with Kyle Glass. While he’s currently obsessed with Minecraft after his time filming the movie adaptation, The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Black’s eager to return to the School of Rock for another movie.
According to THR, Black would recently speak with the publication Joe, when he said, “I wish there’d be a School of Rock 2 Electric Boogaloo.” Black would also love to see White return to write the movie, “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,...

Jack Black is totally down for a School of Rock sequel.
More than two decades after the beloved musical comedy, directed by Richard Linklater, premiered in 2003, the actor-comedian recently told Joe that he’s “ready” to reprise his role as energetic musician Dewey Finn.
“I wish there’d be a School of Rock 2 Electric Boogaloo,” he said, referencing the movie title of the 1984 sequel to Breakin’.
School of Rock follows Dewey, who became a substitute teacher at an uptight elementary private school after being kicked out of his rock band. But along the way, he tries to turn his class into their own rock band. The film also starred Mike White, Joan Cusack, Adam Pascal, Lucas Papaelias, Chris Stack, Sarah Silverman and Miranda Cosgrove.
Black also admitted that he would like to see the original film’s writer, White, return to pen the script for the hypothetical sequel. However, he acknowledged that White,...

"Bent" is a delightful story that features an extraordinarily talented cast. Sure, they're the usual triple threats of Broadway -- singers, dancers, actors -- but they're also skilled musicians, who make wonderful music together.
Music is at the heart of this play, which hews close to John Carney's 2006 film. The show opened earlier this week (March 19), and this early in a run people aren't always quite sure what they're walking into. But the moment you enter the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, it's clear. It's like stepping into a Dublin pub.
And that's a grand way to spend an evening.
The unusual pre-show has the musician-actors playing instruments and bartenders pouring $13 beers. The bar is stocked with Paddy and Jameson. The worn linoleum, dim bulbs and cloudy mirrors, better for deep reflection than appearance checks, all help set the scene.
This musical manages to avoid veering off into too whimsical or too predictable territory.
