I know that I'm not the only one here that's seen the trailers for this new Jack Black flick.

Looks pretty funny -- looks like we're going to see the return of the talented, School of Rock Jack.

Plus, I think I heard that Beck's scoring this.

Chuck Mayer · Apr 11, 2006

I believe Beck is scoring it, and popping out a song or two. I'm pretty interested in this...silly fun.

I saw the poster for this in the theater and have been wondering what it was about. After watching the trailer I'm going to have to pull the family in to watch this. It looks pretty good.

I'm a big wrestling fan, so I'm looking forward to this. I'm also a big Jack Black fan, so I'm looking forward to this. Although, most movies even sort of related to Pro Wrestling suck.

This looks great, although I'm really waiting for the Tenacious D movie.

Still, Nacho looks pretty damn fine.

Steve_Knutzen · Apr 11, 2006

Casey, did you check he latest Wrestlecrap update?

BridgetJZ · Apr 12, 2006

Great news about Beck -- he seems like an unlikely, but perfect fit for the film. I'm looking forward to picking up the soundtrack when it is released.

On that same token, yeah, the great thing about this movie is that it would seem like a decent family film. Not dumbed down like a made-for-kids Disney film (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I'm excited...though its a shame we still have to wait so long for release.

Such being said, has anyone seen the free (i

Isn't Jared Hess directing this?

BridgetJZ · May 16, 2006

Indeed he is. His success w/ Napoleon Dynamite should draw some faces to the theater.

Official site is up: www.nacholibre.com

and Ain't It Cool had a good review up this morning.

Over the last year some friends and I have been semi-regularly going down to Baja because we get to stay at a company beach house for free. On the last trip, about 3 months ago, two of my friends picked up the mexican wrestling masks that they sell at/near the border.

We are all committed to seeing this film

Random Hero · May 16, 2006

Can't wait to see this. Was it moved to June 16, or is it still opening on June 2 like the trailers say?

BridgetJZ · May 18, 2006

The trailers say June 2nd?? Really??

THe official site says June 16th - so I'm guessing that'll be it.

Dome Vongvises · May 19, 2006

A Mexican priest who also works as a luchador. That concept alone had me laughing. I'll want to see this.

Random Hero · May 19, 2006

Thanks for clearing it up. It does seem to be moved to June 16.

The trailers I've seen in the cinema do say June 2. Then again, I saw a trailer for Pulse and it had a March release date.

BridgetJZ · May 24, 2006

What movie theaters have you been going to?? Heh.

Anyway - the guys over at Latino Review have a pretty comprehensive list of stills, video confessionals, etc.

Just ran into it today.

Adam Lenhardt · May 24, 2006

Despised Napoleon Dynamite and didn't click with the trailer either. I think Jared Hess must just be a love it/hate it type of director.

James@R · May 24, 2006

This looks really absurd. Just check out Black's expression as he shoots that kid with the arrow...or his seriousness as he's about to step into the fence with the bull.

Can't wait.

Mike Graham · May 24, 2006

Looks like a lot of fun!

Colin Jacobson · May 25, 2006

I gotta admit I think this one looks terrible, but I must admit my dislike of Napoleon Dynamite might taint my opinion. I might not be so turned off by it if I didn't know who directed it. Hard to say...

BridgetJZ · May 31, 2006

Even though I saw and really liked Napoleon Dynamite (I caught it before all the hype), Nacho Libre really doesn't seem to imitate that style at all. The humor was much less deadpan than ND's humor was.

Regardless, I think we can count on this guy to deliver an original, slightly off-the-wall comedy.

I'm looking forward to it for sure.
