Following their successful collaboration on Paramount Pictures' "Nacho Libre" (2006), Jack Black and film director Jared Hess are reteaming for an upcoming comedy film "Micronations". The project becomes the first title from Hess, Brandt Andersen and Dave Hunter's new production and financing banner, Buffalo Film Company, and has been announced at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, May 18.
Black has been attached to star as a lovable oddball who lives amid a world of "do-it-yourself-countries," i.e., backyards that have been declared their own countries, the Hollywood Reporter reported. "New Girl" writers Robert Snow and Christian Magalhaes are on board penning the script. No words have been shared just yet on other details of “Micronations”.
“Once I learned that there were people within the United States who have created their very own countries, I knew I had to make a movie about them,” Hess said in a statement. “Jack and I have been looking for another project to team up on, and the hilarious world of micronations spoke to both of us.”
