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.

For the full scoop, be sure to stop by FilmJerk and say hello.

Mike White wrote School Of Rock and helped JB write a number of the songs he sings in it. He also played Ned, Dewey's roommate in that film. I'm greatly looking forward to this, and the D film.

Think I'll just watch King Kong. Cause Jared Hess sucks.

Mexican priest? Sounds like a job for Rob Schneider.
