Jack Black is set to reunite with SCHOOL OF ROCK and NACHO LIBRE writer, Mike White. The two will be joined by X-MEN’s James Marsden for THE D-TRAIN. The film will see Jack Black as the head of a school reunion committee who will stop at absolutely nothing to make sure his classes’ most popular student attends. That student will be played by Marsden, who has become a star of TV commercials. Nat Faxon and White will also star, presumably as two other ex students.
Directing the feature will be Jarred Paul and Andrew Mogel, the screenwriters of YES MAN. This will be their directorial debut. SCHOOL OF ROCK is still one of my favourite comedies after surprising me all those years ago, but that was helmed by Richard Linklater, a man with much more experience. Hopefully Paul and Mogel have been chosen well as the plot seems to write itself, with an easy hook where you can already imagine the trailer.
