Here’s a first official look at Jack Black in Goosebumps, the upcoming adventure fantasy movie directed by Rob Letterman:
“In Goosebumps, upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it’s suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.”
With that black jacket Jack Black does look like Ricky Gervais, right?
Besides Jack Black, the cast also includes Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Amy Ryan, Jillian Bell, Ryan Lee, and Ken Marino.
The release date of Goosebumps is set to August 7, 2015.

Looks like it may be interesting. I used to watch the series on Fox Kids as a youngster.
So, let’s hope & pray Jack Black knows what he’s doing. And let’s pray he puts the monsters from the really good stories in the movie. (Like Slappy….Or the Haunted Mask)
