Over 11 years ago, Jack Black had one of his most memorable as the subversive substitute teacher Dewey Finn in School of Rock.

All these years later, Nickelodeon is making a TV series out of the film and they have just found their new Dewey Finn in the very funny Tony Cavalero.

If they keep the same carpe diem attitude that Finn has in the movie, we hope Tony is ready for some awesome failed attempts at stage dives.

The rock comedy that had Jack Black as an unorthodox music teacher, School of Rock, is now becoming a TV series at Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon ordered the series from Paramount TV and have yet to attach someone to play Dewey Finn, Jack Black’s character in the movie. Still, Scott Rudin and Richard Linklater, the director of School of Rock, are set to executive produce, which should instill faith as to what might happen with this show.

We’ll see next year when School of Rock the series is set to premiere.

From School of Rock, Jack Black and writer Mike White are getting together again for HS reunion comedy D-Train and, from 50/50, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and director Jonathan Levine are also coming together for another project a Christmas themed comedy, which will probably be a little grittier than your normal fare based off of 50/50.

Still, both projects from both “reteams” definitely sound enticing to us and, if you haven’t already, you should watch 50/50 and School of Rock. Familiarize yourself and enjoy two solid movies.
