\n\tTwo decades before viewers began booking time with The White Lotus<\/em>, series<\/a> creator Mike White struck a chord with the movie School of Rock<\/em>. White wrote and co-stars in director Richard Linklater\u2019s comedy that features Jack Black as Dewey Finn, an aimless musician turned substitute teacher at a tony elementary school who convinces students to form a band.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhite penned the lead role for former neighbor Black after taking inspiration from a 1976 album that a Canadian teacher had recorded of his students\u2019 cover songs. \u201cI don\u2019t think I would have ever come up with this idea if I hadn\u2019t lived next door to him,\u201d White told THR<\/em> back then of Black, the longtime frontman for satirical group Tenacious D. Producer Scott Rudin sent the script<\/a> to Linklater, who found it formulaic and passed. \u201cThen I got a call from my agent,\u201d Linklater has said. \u201cShe\u2019s like, \u2018Rudin is not accepting your pass.\u2019 \u201d Ultimately, the director worked with White to up the realism, with tweaks like Dewey soundproofing the classroom. For the student roles, Linklater prioritized musically inclined performers with little acting experience, including future iCarly<\/em> star Miranda Cosgrove.<\/p>\n

\n\tSchool of Rock<\/em> premiered in Toronto before Paramount released it Oct. 3, 2003. The sleeper hit collected $131 million worldwide ($227 million today) and spawned a Broadway musical, a Nickelodeon series and School of Rock music programs for aspiring performers. The film\u2019s young stars remain close \u2014 two of them even tied the knot this year \u2014 and have a group chat titled \u201cSchnayblay,\u201d a riff on the name of White\u2019s nebbish character, Ned Schneebly. Rivkah Reyes, the movie\u2019s bassist, tells THR<\/em>, \u201cOf course we\u2019re all in the group chat talking about White Lotus<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
