7. Jack Black Will Be Playing R. L Stine In A Sinister Manner
In September 2013, it was reported that School Of Rock actor Jack Black was in talks to play a Stine-like author whose 'scary characters literally leap off the page, forcing him to hide from his own creepy creations' Black stated that he tried to make the character "more of a sort of curmudgeonly dark, brooding beast master." He also said that he attempted to approach this film the same way he does other films, stating he tried to "make it as funny as possible." Black met with R. L. Stine to get his consent for the film, but determined that his character could not be too similar to the real one; Black explained that he needed the character to be more sinister.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
