Interested in a ‘School of Rock’ sequel? In a few weeks we should know if it’s officially coming, since Jack Black is already working on it. “I’d really like to do it, the last one was great,” Jack Black said at Cannes. “We 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.“
No word on the involvement of Richard Linklater, but if he has the time I would count him in. He has referenced the idea in several interviews in the years after the first movie. ‘School of Rock 2′ has been a long time coming. The $35 million ‘School of Rock’ was a mild success in 2003, doing over $130 million worldwide. Black didn’t give any details about the scriptwriter or its content.

Well, they’ll probably stop when the strike starts, but the Screen Actors Guild and the studios just agreed to resume their labor talks in two weeks, May 28. In last news the SAG negotiations were broken off, because after delaying talks with the AFTRA (Radio and TV) two times, the studios didn’t agree to do it a third time.
The SAG and the studios talked for about three weeks when the negotiations abruptly ended to make way for the AFTRA. The biggest dispute is still the SAG’s demand for bigger residuals from DVD sales, which they already lowered from +100% to +15%. And rules about the distibution of clips on the internet. Starting again May 28, it will give them a little over four weeks before a possible strike after June 30, when the current contracts end.
