Jack Black
Cast In: 'School of Rock 2'
About the Role: Jack Black just wants to 'Rock.' The 'Kung Fu Panda' and 'Tropic Thunder' star will reprise his role as substitue teacher/rock star wannabe Dewey Finn in a sequel to the hit 2003 comedy. Director Richard Linklater and writer Mike White also return.

Raimi, who penned "Hell" with his brother Ivan, is scheduled to begin shooting the film on March 17. It marks Raimi's to return to the genre filmmaking ("The Evil Dead," "Army of Darkness") that characterized his earlier career, before he was catapulted to A-list fame with the box-office behemoth "Spider-Man" films.

Page can currently be seen as an acid-tongued pregnant teen in the indie smash "Juno," for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination. She'll next appear on screen in the dramedy "Smart People" in April. And, after filming "Hell," she'll tackle the role of bored teen who takes up roller derby in Drew Barrymore's directorial debut "Whip It."

Any movie by Sam Raimi is usually fun, but Drew Barrymore as a director??!! The proof will have to be in her pudding, but her movie project sounds plodding, and let's hope that the Amelia Earhart movie can rise above the level of butch-girl celebration that mars so much of what Hillary Swank does.
