Jack Black says there’s something in the works to honor the 20th anniversary of School of Rock.

While on the red carpet for the premiere of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Black told ET, “All those kids — dig this — they were 10 years old when we made that movie and now they’re all, like, 30. We’re gonna get together and have a 20-year anniversary. We like to jam. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the grownups from ‘School of Rock.'”

From the sounds of it, this will be somewhat of an informal gathering. However, Black did say he plans on sharing photos and video from the event on social media.

School of Rock was released in 2003. Per Box Office Mojo, the film grossed over $131 million worldwide. School of Rock also starred Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman and a pre-iCarly Miranda Cosgrove. Directed by Richard Linklater, the film was written by Mike White, who has since rocketed to fame thanks to creating the hit HBO series The White Lotus.

Since its film release, School of Rock has been adapted into a Broadway musical and a series on Nickelodeon.

12 Music Movies Everyone Should Watch

• ‘School of Rock’

  Share

  It's the movie that made you wish your substitute teacher was Jack Black and also a reminder of the power of music education.

• ‘Empire Records’

  Share

  A band of misfits at an independent record store that's dealing with drama AND trying to prevent the store from being bought by a major corporate chain AND the soundtrack is incredible?  Damn the man, indeed!

• ‘Almost Famous’

  Share

  Easily one of the most iconic music films of all time, 'Almost Famous' earned writer/director Cameron Crowe an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and rightfully so.
• ‘High Fidelity’

  Share

  A music movie for music nerds by music nerds. Plus, Barry, played perfectly by Jack Black, has one of the best monologues ever when describing Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You."

• ‘Rock Star’

  Share

  Loosely inspired by Tim "Ripper" Owens who replaced Rob Halford in Judas Priest after he left the band in 1991, 'Rock Star' has an inherent cheese-factor, but it's undeniably entertaining with a stellar soundtrack to boot.

• ‘Airheads’

  Share

  Three not-so-bright musicians hold a radio station hostage (with plastic guns, no less) in order for their demo to get played on the air.  Surprise!  Wackiness ensues!  Also, it's just a fun and funny movie that features the best cop joke of all time.
• ‘Sing Street’

  Share

  Based in 1980s Dublin, a teenage boy starts a band to win over a pretty girl. Add in a wise older brother to help guide the musical way, and you have one of the best music movies released in the past decade.

• ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’

  Share

  The film adaptation of the hit off-Broadway play that eventually made it to Broadway and was a massive success, 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' follows the story of a trans frontwoman on a quest for fame after all of her songs were stolen to launch the career of a former musical partner and boyfriend.

• ‘School of Rock’

  It's the movie that made you wish your substitute teacher was Jack Black and also a reminder of the power of music education.
• ‘Once’

  It's the classic tale of an Irish street performer meets a classically trained musician and discovers electric chemistry.  The film features an incredibly beautiful original soundtrack and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2007.

• ‘Empire Records’

  Share

  A band of misfits at an independent record store that's dealing with drama AND trying to prevent the store from being bought by a major corporate chain AND the soundtrack is incredible?  Damn the man, indeed!

• ‘Velvet Goldmine’

  Share

  It's like a glam version of 'Eddie and the Cruisers' but way better!  Characters are definitely inspired by David Bowie and Iggy Pop, and the film features the incredible cast of Ewan McGregor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Christian Bale, Toni Collette and Eddie Izzard.
• ‘Almost Famous’

  Share

  Easily one of the most iconic music films of all time, 'Almost Famous' earned writer/director Cameron Crowe an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and rightfully so.

• ‘The Blues Brothers’

  Share

  An obvious choice for this list, but there has to be at least one obvious pick on this list.  Frankly, if you haven't seen 'The Blues Brothers,' stop reading this list and find a way to watch it.

  Share

  A music movie for music nerds by music nerds. Plus, Barry, played perfectly by Jack Black, has one of the best monologues ever when describing Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called To Say I Love You."
• ‘The Commitments’

  Share

  This is the third film on this list that's based in Ireland, and while 'Sing Street' and 'Once' are incredible films, they may not have happened without 'The Commitments,' which follows the formation of a soul band in the working-class neighborhoods of the northside of Dublin.  (Side note:  Glen Hansard who stars in 'Once' is in 'The Commitments' as lead guitarist "Outspan" Foster.)
