The Dark Underbelly of Pro Wrestling

A picture named nacho.jpg

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE director Jared Hess is exploring the dark side of pro wrestling with NACHO LIBRE ... not really ... he's sticking to his comic bent by directing a wildly original comedy about Nacho, a lowly slop cook at an orphanage who secretly dreams of becoming a famous Mexican wrestler. Moonlighting in disguise, he is ultimately exposed and excommunicated by the church. But when he defeats Mexico's most feared Luchador, and gives his winnings to the orphans, he becomes a local hero.

If this photo of Jack Black isn't enough to get you grinning, you might want to check out the other images and trailer on the site listed above. SCHOOL OF ROCK writer Mike White penned and produces another Jack Black comedy.
