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.

Hillary Swank’s ‘P.S. I Love You’ made some impact at the DVD stores last week. The $30 million romance made over $140 million at the box office worldwide and is now coming in at number one for DVD rentals and sales. ‘P.S. I Love You’ made $7.2 million in rentals, followed by ‘27 Dresses’ with another $6.1 million and ‘First Sunday’ with $5.6 million. Ice Cube’s ‘First Sunday’ was only successful in the US and made a little under $40 million at the box office.

The total for ‘27 Dresses’ now stands at $13.4 million in rentals and is holding up well against ‘The Golden Compass,’ which made another $5.3 million. ‘Twister’ came in as the number one ‘Blu-ray,’ where ‘The Golden Compass’ came in second.
