Marsden and Black working together with School of Rock writer...

   It seems Jack Black and School of Rock writer Mike White are going at it together again, only this time James Marsden is invited along for the ride. Mikes current team up effort is for his new work The D-Train that he will be producing. Yes Man writers Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel are coming up to bat and direct. As well as his producing duties, White will step in front of the camera to play Black’s one high school friend. The Way Way Back’s Nat Faxon is also, according to reports, in talks for an unspecified role. Paul and Mogel are set to start shooting sometime later this month in New Orleans.
   The plot for The D-Train is described like this..."Black chairing the committee of a middle American high school 20-year reunion. Desperate for the acceptance and acclaim he never got in his school days, our hero sees his chance to shine by convincing the guy voted most popular (Marsden) to attend. Trouble is, the one-time hotshot is now a failed actor primarily working in adverts who has no real desire to parade around his old school. So Black’s character heads to Los Angeles to try to convince him…"

   Black will next be seen in Sex Tape and is voicing Po once more for next year’s Kung Fu Panda 3. Marsden, who last cropped up in Anchorman 2, has Walk Of Shame, Welcome To Me and The Loft set to arrive this year.
