MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 Funnyman Jack Black has signed on to star in an as-yet untitled comedy for Nickelodeon, Variety reports. The film, being directed by Jared Hess ("Napoleon Dynamite") and written by Mike White, is based on a true story of Mexican priest (Black) who secretly moonlights as a masked wrestler in order to save an orphanage from shutting down. "I can't think of two people I'd rather party with than Mike White and Jared Hess," Black told Variety. "I can't wait to get down to Mexico." Black, who just wrapped up work on "King Kong," previously worked with White on "The School of Rock" and "Orange County." The film begins shooting in the fall. Uh. What an odd choice for the role of a MEXICAN WRESTLING PRIEST. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 A shitty sitcom about a teacher that was a wrestler at night. Its from the late 80's or early 90's. I think Canada was responsible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 25, 2005 Napoleon Dynamite was one of those movies which upon first viewing isn't all that impressive, but gets better with repeated viewings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMFabiano524 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2005 I'm hoping they had this in mind when saying that JB would be playing a "funny" Green Lantern (debunked since by Wizard, Dan Didio, and/or Geoff Johns) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2005 This reminds me of the episode of "That's My Bush" when Cheney becomes prez and W becomes a masked wrtestler called "the masked loser" anyhow this sounds corny enough to be at least a little funny. and they should bring in El Asso Wipo and Senor Bag of Crap to make this work.
