| AKA: The Tenacious D Movie Director: Liam Lynch Writers: Jack Black, Kyle Gass, Liam Lynch Cast: Jack Black, Kyle Gass, JR "Lee" Reed Rumored: Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Meat Loaf, Dave Grohl, Rob Zombie, Ronnie James Dio Executive Producer: Ben Stiller It has recently been confirmed that Tenacious D is planning on hitting the silver screen. In an interview with Q magazine JB anounced the upcoming movie's title: Tenacious D: In the Pick of Destiny. It will be directed by Liam Lynch, who also directed the video for "Tribute" and the clips shown at the D's concerts (Butt Baby and JB's BJ, Rock Star Sperm Bank). The film is being produced by JB's longtime colaborator Ben Stiller's Red Hour Films and Working Title Films which produced High Fidelity. The first draft of the script was written by Scott Aukerman and B.J Porter, who were also writers for the HBO show. However, after careful consideration the D decided that only they could capture the true escence of the D. So JB, KG and Liam Lynch all sat down together and began writting. Six movie treatments later, they finally finished their masterpiece. According to Liam, "It's going to shake the pillars of hell with it's radness" but when asked of the details of the plot, Liam would only say that it is a secret that "no mortal could handle the thought of". However, he has revealled two things: one, that the film will tell the story of how the D came to be, and two, that the film will showcase brand new songs from the D! The sound track to the movie is very likely to be the follow up to the D's first album. The executive producers of the HBO show (Bob Odenkirk and David Cross) will be involved in the film. And yes, if you were wondering, it has also been confirmed that the D's right hand man and "webmaster" Lee will have a role in the film. So far it is rumored that Meat Loaf will be playing JB's father, Jack Black will be playing his own mother, and Will Ferrell will be playing a music shop dude. Filming begins this summer at a secret location under the cover of night. |
