Tenacious D Announces New Movie -

[Lensherr]

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destinymay have flopped at the box office, only grossing $8.2 million in the US, but it’s still held on to something of a core fanbase.

Grown largely out of the film’s home entertainment release, with The Numbers reporting that it made over $10 million in domestic video sales; enough, perhaps, to label it something of a cult hit.

One which sustained an appetite for a sequel all the way into 2018, which now sees Jack Black revealing to fans in the audience of a Tenacious D concert that a follow-up is actually in the works.

Appearing alongside band member Kyle Gass, at the Shaky Knees Music Festival in Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend (via The Atlanta Journal-Constitution), Black told the crowd: “I don’t know where you’ll be able to see it, but we have decided that it’s happening and it’s coming out.”

He didn’t offer any further information on what exactly the sequel might entail plotwise, with the first conjuring a fictional origin story for the band, tracing their journey to find a pick belonging to Satan that allows its users to become rock legends.

However, Black did state that the sequel will be out by October, which suggests the project is deep enough into pre-production to at least cement it as a sure thing. Who will distribute the project, however, is unknown.

Jack Black should drop comedy.

He's pretty good when he's not trying to be funny yet for some reason that's how he got famous and gets cast as.

A bunch of my friends were waaaaaaay into Tenacious D when their HBO series started. So I got to be waaaaaaaaay ahead of the curve in being sick to fucking death of Tenacious D and Jack Black in general.

Jack Black hasn't been funny in years. I have a feeling this is going to bomb

 

[Arkangel]

The D had their time. Pretty sure a lot of people forgot about them since their last album.

 

[JB 236]

Let it dieeeee

 

[drtoboggan]

They were funny. Were.

They came out with a new album a few years ago but I haven't listened to it. Was it any good?

I forgot he even existed! I had a couple friends who were big into Jack Black but he's a has-been at this point.

The best case scenario is that it will suck so bad that it's entertaining for the wrong reasons.

I'm looking forward to the sound track of this movie more so than the movie itself.

Say what you want about his comedy, but he's on par with Steel Panther when it comes to music.

Spoiler: Just for fun:

Here's Jack Black in a commercial for the video game "Pitfall"

Shoe's on the other foot, D: You're too old to rock, no more rockin' for you!

But seriously, this is up there with the XXX sequel a year or so back in the "Way too late for another sequel" race.

I misread this as Initial D getting a new movie and got excited

I forgot he even existed! I had a couple friends who were big into Jack Black but he's a has-been at this point.

The best case scenario is that it will suck so bad that it's entertaining for the wrong reasons.

The "He's a has-been" point for me was when he showed up on an episode of "Yo Gabba Gabba".

Cool!
