Jack Black and Jared Hess to re-team for Micronations

May 19, 2015 by Scott J. Davis

Buffalo Film Company has announced that Jack Black (The D Train) and his Nacho Libre director Jared Hess are to re-team for the upcoming comedy Micronations.

The new film will see Black play a “loveable oddball” who ends up living in the strange world of “do-it-yourself countries” whose inhabitants have claimed their backyards as sovereign nations or “micronations”. He soon finds himself in the middle of a “full” scale war between two neighbouring micronations.

Written by New Girl scribes Robert Snow and Christian Magalhaes, the film sounds like a mix of Black’s Gullivers Travels and Hess’ Napoleon Dynamite. And we cannot wait.

Black’s latest film, The D Train, is in selected cinemas across the U.S. now, with a UK release set for September.
