Jack Black, a Fun Uncle Who Teaches Magic in "The House with a Clock in Its Walls"

For the role of Jonathan Barnavelt in Universal Pictures’ fantasy-adventure The House with a Clock in Its Walls, it was important to the filmmakers to find someone who would serve as the initially frightening relative to live with…who then becomes the really fun uncle to join you on an adventure.  

For director Eli Roth, the role can be done justice only by comedy superstar Jack Black.
