![]() Tagline: The greatest motion picture of all time.
Comedians/musicians Jack Black and Kyle Gass bring their infamous rock duo Tenacious D to the big screen in the comedy "Tenacious D in The Pick Of Destiny." The film tells the story of how "The D" became the self-proclaimed greatest band on earth and is being directed by Liam Lynch.
There were two earth-shattering events that took place in Los Angeles in 1994: the Northridge earthquake and the birth of Tenacious D, the band headed by Jack Black and Kyle Gass.
The two met as members of the Actor's Gang, an ensemble theatre troupe in Los Angeles founded by Tim Robbins, where they discovered their mutual love of rock and roll. From their first gnarly performance at Al's Bar in downtown Los Angeles, where they performed their only song, "Tribute," to their emergence as the self-proclaimed Greatest Band on Earth, "The D," as they are known to their legion of fans, has rocked the socks off all who have heard them.
Following their professional debut at Al's Bar, they appeared on the HBO late-90s' sketch comedy program, "Mr. Show" which led to HBO creating three, half-hour "Tenacious D" shorts featuring the band. They also served as the opening act for Beck, Tool and Pearl Jam, developing their own fan base along the way.
