Fans of the iconic American Pie series should rejoice, as a new film is under development. Slated to be released byUniversal 1440 Entertainment, the project is said to be a “fresh take” on the franchise, though what that entails has yet to be disclosed.
Universal's original 1999 American Pie received mixed reviews but found success among audiences. The coming-of-age sex comedy centered around five teenage boys and their attempts to lose their virginities. It starred names such as Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Sean William Scott, Eugene Levy, The Watcher star Jennifer Coolidge, and John Cho. Eventually, it resulted in three sequels with the core cast and five spinoff films bearing the moniker "American Pie Presents."
5 Movie Reboots That Should Have Been New Franchises
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a new installment of the American Pie series is in the works. This project is based on an original take submitted by Sujata Day, who will also be penning the script. Day is an up-and-coming filmmaker who directed the film Definition Please, in which she also acted (Day could also be seen in front of the camera on HBO's Insecure). Plot details are scarce, and it’s unclear whether this new take will be a full-on reboot or if it will continue with the previous cast.
It’s been ten years since the original cast returned for the aptly titled American Reunion, in which the original characters came back for a high school reunion. As the original cast approaches their fifties or so, it’s possible the franchise will take on a new form as part of this new “fresh take” and focus on their lives as they age. However, given that it’s primarily a coming-of-age franchise, it’s also possible that a new cast could be introduced.
