Hollywood actor Jack Black and musical partner Kyle Gass have announced plans for a new Tenacious D record.

"We're gonna be talking about love. There's gonna be some songs about sex and there's gonna be songs about food," Black said. "We're in the middle of recording it. We're about halfway through the writing process. We need another few months. But you can look for it at the end of 2011."

The last release by the group was the soundtrack to their film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. That 2006 movie was a hit with fans, but did poorly at the box office.

Although the Gulliver's Travels' star doesn't foresee a movie to accompany the group's third record, Black hasn't ruled out another Tenacious D film.

Jack, 41, told website Spinner: "This is strictly a musical endeavour, but I would not rule out another film. Although it would probably be on the lower-budget."
