Remember Nacho Libre<\/a><\/i>? The in-the-works Mike White-written, Jared Hess-directed, Jack Black-starring movie based on the \u201ctrue story<\/a>\u201d of \u201ca Mexican priest who secretly moonlights as a masked wrestler in order to save an orphanage from closure\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

JoBlo.com<\/a> has just posted the first photo from this film, a portion of which appears above, as well as the following plot synopsis, courtesy of Paramount Pictures:<\/p>\n

From the creators of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and SCHOOL OF ROCK comes a wildly original, off-the-wall 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\u2019s most feared Luchador, and gives his winnings to the orphans, he becomes a local hero.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hmmm. Is Black\u2019s character a priest and<\/i> a lowly slop cook? Or has he been revised? (And, uh, what\u2019s up with \u201cexcommunicated\u201d?)<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
