What is it like working with Harold Ramis after playing him in Be Kind Rewind? JB: Just for a moment as I pass him by, but it is mostly him and Michael. And it was my idea that we should get him to play the character with no balls just to get back at him for all the asshole-y things he’s done to me. Your pal Kyle Gass from Tenacious D is in the movie, right? Try ‘em before you s–t on them like that, Mr. You’ve never tried a salty, sweaty, maple syrup sandwich, obviously. I provide the delicious salty peanut butter. I provide the salty sweat, he provides the sweet Maple syrup. Sweat - I think we do make a very delicious sandwich. He’s very advanced, and there’s very little effort on his part. JB: Michael is … a very special young man. How does Michael Cera compare to others you’ve worked with? They often put you in with a straight man in your films. But he was recently featured in Evan Almighty. I always thought it was funny when Moses went up on the hill and came down with some stones that were carved into it and said, “These are from the Lord!” And no one said, “Well, yeah, but who else was there when you saw him?” And he’d just say, “No! It was just me and the Lord!” Seems kind of convenient and funny that no one ever questioned that. And Mel Brooks did some Moses in his History of the World. It’d be pretty fun to do some of the Moses stuff that we’re not doing in this one because Harold thought it was just too much to break off. JB: Yeah, there are a lot of theatrical parts of the Bible. Whoa! Hel- lo!” Just another day in the life of biblical times.ĭo you think there are other good Biblical stories that need a good comedic retelling? I just woke up one day, and I was like, “I’m in an orgy. JB: No, it just kind of sprang up and surprised me. What’s your reaction when you see an orgy scene in a script? Is it something you look forward to?
There are some make-outs and some meaningful eye contact, though. I do get finely coifed, though, for my royal orgy scene. Always long caveman hair with a caveman beard.
#SCHOOL OF ROCK SCRIPT YOU GOTTA GET MAD AT THE MAN MOVIE#
Is the hair consistent throughout the movie or is this your “slave” cut? Strangely, the lower the class, the more comfortable the clothes. This is the slave gear when my character is going through tough times in the movie. Back in primitive times, they didn’t have good lacing technology. This is how they did it back in the olden days. These shoes won’t stay laced, which is a huge pain in the ass. The ones they’ve been thinking about for 30 years. He told me about it, and I was into it, and I read the script and we were making it … I’m trying to only make people’s dream movies. I just found out about this - I don’t remember when he told me. Maybe he planned on doing it with someone else and finally he realized that I was going to be the guy. Jack Black: He kept it hidden from me, a secret. When you met him back in the Orange County days, did he mention it to you? Harold Ramis told us he’s been thinking about this movie for about 30 years.
Leading off first was Black, who mused about caveman orgies, pre-historic toilets and maple syrup sandwiches: We recently stopped by the Shreveport set of Year One to chat with stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. And if that isn’t enough, it’s got guys wearing animal skins and crazy wigs to boot! Seriously, if that doesn’t get you at least a little excited, then you clearly have no soul. In addition to being produced by reigning comedy kingpin Judd Apatow, it boasts a legendary writer/director (Ramis, whose credits include Caddyshack and Groundhog Day) and two of its brightest young actors ( School of Rock’s Jack Black and Juno’s Michael Cera). Of the many comedies hitting theaters this summer, few have more going for it than Year One. Look what happens when you crash the set of Year One: caveman orgies, apple juice is the new urine … Jack Black and Michael Cera tell all. The movie opens nationwide on June 19.
