Actor Jack Black said Monday that he has big plans to reunite the cast of “School of Rock” for the 20th anniversary in September.
Black led the cast in the classic film as Dewey Finn, a down-and-out who talks his way into a position as a substitute teacher and ends up turning his class into a rock band. Child actor Miranda Cosgrove co-starred, alongside a slew of other hyper musically-talented youngsters.
“All those kids — dig this — they were 10 years old when we made that movie and now they’re all, like, 30,” Black told Entertainment Tonight. “We’re gonna get together and have a 20-year anniversary. We like to jam. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the grownups from ‘School of Rock.'” He said he will “100 percent” be posting photographs from the reunion on his social media.
Joan Cusack co-starred as the school’s headmistress, with Mike White as Dewey’s best friend. White has since gone on to superstardom with hit tv show “The White Lotus.”
Black’s statement came from the red carpet of his latest movie premiere for “The Super Mario Bros” in which he voices the iconic character Bowser.
“I was introduced to Bowser through my kids. My boys play Super Mario Bros.,” he told the outlet. (RELATED: One TV Show Could Finally Bring The World Together. Here’s Why.)
He and his wife, Tanya Haden, have two children, Thomas and Samuel, ET noted.
“As soon as I saw Bowser I knew that he was my favorite character in the Nintendo universe, so when my agent called and said, ‘Hey, they want you to play Bowser in The Super Mario Bros. Movie [it was an] instant yes.”
