JACK BLACK AS A MEXICAN PRIEST / WRESTLER
Count me in: Scott Weinberg writes: "FilmJerk.com brings us the early scoop on a new collaboration between Jack Black ("School of Rock") and Mike White ("The Good Girl"). The project is called "Nacho Libre," and Mr. Black will play a Mexican priest who moonlights as a wrestler in order to raise some money for the local orphanage.
Mr. White will write the script, and the director is reportedly set to be Jared Hess, he of "Napoleon Dynamite" fame. Production is set to get underway in Mexico some time in September. [via FOM]
