TORONTO – Jack Black says he hopes his irreverent film “School of Rock” in which he teaches fifth graders about rock `n’ roll , will turn into a regular TV children’s series in the style of “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.”
“I miss Pee-Wee, that was not only the best children’s show at the time, it was the best TV show period,” Black tells Zap2it.com. “My dream has always been to do something with kids, and something that I would enjoy seeing, too.”
“School of Rock” was written specifically for Black by his friend and Los Angeles neighbor Mike White (who wrote and starred in “Chuck and Buck”). Directed by Richard Linklater (“Slacker”), the film stars some real-life musical prodigies who’ve not been in movies before, as well as Joan Cusack. Critics have raved about the movie, calling it one of the funniest at the film festival.
