Movie News (7/14/2008): The Movie Blog is reporting from a story derived from Comingsoon.net that Paramount Pictures is going ahead with the sequel to “School of Rock.” The new movie will be titled “School of Rock 2: America Rocks” and it will involve Jack Black 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 really thought this was a good movie, I liked seeing Jack Black in a more family friendly role involving music. I am not sure what to think as I thought School of Rock was a good 1-off movie, meaning a movie that thrived on its own and didn’t need a sequel to garnish excitement. Did anyone else enjoy this movie? Are you excited about a sequel? Is this just another move from Hollywood trying to revive old success for lack of any original content?
