Jack Black Joins Weezer Movie Cast, Directed by Joost and Schulman

Weezer has confirmed that Jack Black will co-star in their upcoming mockumentary-style film, a project first announced at Coachella and later substantiated by frontman Rivers Cuomo via the band's Discord server. The AI-generated poster shared by Cuomo teased Black’s involvement, which is fitting given his longstanding association with the band through touring and collaborations. The movie, reportedly directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, is described as blending the comedic styles of 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' and 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.' The ensemble cast is said to include Keanu Reeves—playing the villain—alongside Juliette Lewis, Eric André, Johnny Knoxville, Ben Schwartz, and the members of Weezer themselves. The plot will center on a fictional rivalry between Weezer and Reeves’ band Dogstar, reflecting real-life ties dating back to the early 1990s. While further details remain unconfirmed, the film continues a recent trend of unconventional rock band movies.
