Jack Black says he’s getting the band back together for School of Rock’s 20th anniversary.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Black – who played substitute teacher Dewey Flynn in the 2003 comedy classic – revealed that plans are in place for a rock-n-roll reunion.

"All those kids – dig this – they were 10 years old when we made that movie and now they're all, like, 30," Black said. "We're gonna get together and have a 20-year anniversary. We like to jam. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the grown-ups from School of Rock."

Black also promised, even if it’s not a public-facing event, that he would "100 percent" be uploading videos and pics to social media. Way hardcore.

School of Rock released in 2003 to critical and commercial success, grossing $131 million at the box office – a then-record for a musical comedy. Black co-starred alongside Joan Cusack, Mike White (yes, that Mike White of The White Lotus fame), Sarah Silverman, and Miranda Cosgrove in her breakout role.

Black, meanwhile, is currently starring in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as Bowser, a performance he says was inspired by Darth Vader.

"Yes, a little bit," Black told IGN when asked if the Sith Lord was a specific reference point for his turn as the King Koopa, "Darth Vader has a lower register, and I also had to go lower than my natural speaking voice."

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
