Jack Black returns to the SCHOOL OF ROCK?

Out in Cannes, the actor says he has a script for a sequel and will decide in two weeks whether to push ahead with it.

Jack Black who by my reckoning has never done a sequel has told FilmIndustry.biz that he is considering doing just that with a School of Rock 2. The original 2003 movie grossed $81 million domestic ($35 million budget) and was a super hit worldwide too. It usually is ranked as one of the highlights of Black's career.

€œI€™d really like to do it, the last one was great,€ Jack Black said at Cannes. €œWe are seriously thinking about it, there€™s already a script. In a few weeks we have to decide if we go through with the project or not.€œ
The original movie was a surprise bit of light entertainment from inventinve director Richard Linklater who has always spoke fondly of his time on the picture and would probably be interested in a return. Mike White who wrote the scripts for Black's Orange County and Nacho Libre was the screenwriter of the original movie but it's unknown as to whether it's his script they are talking about. Enjoyed the first movie even if it was like DIET, DIET, DIET Coke - it was so light. I would be up for more. source - moviehole
