#JACK BALCK MOVIE#

Jack Black plays Bernie Tiede, an assistant mortician who murders a wealthy widow named Majorie Nugent.

His next, more critically-acclaimed serious role was in the 2011 film Bernie, which reuinted him with School of Rock director Richard Linklater. Despite this belief, Black went on to experiment with more dramatic roles, with a wonderful performance in the Noah Baumbach film Margot at the Wedding and some great work in the early 2010s. He goes on to admit that roles of this nature are always more challenging because they require more “sensitivity” than he is used to. In a discussion with Collider, Black explains that Myer saw a “soft side” to him that she thought he could utilize. Sure, when asked if he was trying to go beyond the audience’s expectations with the role in a MovieWeb interview with Black, he admitted that he “just wanted to party with Peter Jackson.” Nonetheless, he surprised many.īlack’s dramatic performance in King Kong made more of an impact on viewers than he realized, because soon after he was cast in Nancy Meyer’s film from 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday.

Jack went on to star in King Kong in 2005, where he plays a money-hungry movie producer, another detour from his usual roles. The role is brief since he is promptly killed after trying to sabotage Willis’ character, but it was a start to Black’s reputation as a versatile actor. In this movie, he plays Ian Lamont, a shady gunsmith who is hired to create a weapon for Bruce Willis’ character. Black’s very first dramatic, severe role was in a 1997 film called The Jackal.
