Hard Rick

A sequel to "The School of Rock" is on the way according to s Variety.

Writer Mike White said last month that he had finished and turned in the script to the studio, and it's been approved for production

Star Jack Black will reprise his role as rock star wannabe/substitute teacher Dewey Finn as well Richard Linklater is attached to once again direct.

The story"School of Rock 2: America Rocks" has Finn leading a group of summer school students on a cross-country field trip that delves into the history of rock 'n' roll and explores the roots of blues, rap, country and other genres.

I am a fan of the first film. I'm glad the principal players are on board. And yet somehow the new premise nags at me a bit...We'll have to wait and see.
