Yep, the band is getting back together. The principal players behind 2003’s School of Rock — director Richard Linklater, screenwriter Mike White and star Jack Black — are reuniting for a sequel, according to Variety. School of Rock 2: America Rocks will picks up with Black’s Dewey Finn leading a
group of summer school students on a cross-country field trip that
delves into the history of rock ‘n’ roll, exploring the roots of jazz,
blues, rap, country and other musical genres. How the first film — freewheeling, both fun and comfortably familiar, and, to a certain degree, family-friendly — failed to crack $100 million domestically is God’s private mystery, but Paramount will now have a second crack at screwing things up.
