In the roughly 20 years that have passed since “The NeverEnding Story 3,” Jack Black has rarely spoken about the film or his role as Slip. On the uncommon occasion that it does come up in conversation though, he’s pretty down on the production. “That is the movie that never needs to be seen,” Black said in an interview with Nerdist. He’s also not too broken up about the how the movie is nearly impossible to watch in the modern day. “I don’t think you can get it on DVD, video tape, or anything,” he continued. “It’s gone. It’s been scrubbed from the universe.”

If “The NeverEnding Story 3” does get a sequel someday, fans of the franchise probably shouldn’t hold out hope for Black to make a return. When asked by Moviehole in 2003 if one of his upcoming roles at the time was in “The NeverEnding Story 4,” he quashed the idea. “I guarantee you it’s not that,” he said, before sarcastically adding: “Unless Martin Scorsese’s on the project. Have you heard anything about that?”

With Black’s myriad successes as a performer over the past few decades, “The NeverEnding Story 3” has become little more than a small blip in his past and fodder for the occasional joke in an interview. All things considered, the actor is probably fine with ending the story there.
