‘American Reunion’ Plot Details Revealed
It’s been a couple years since we firstreportedthat Universal was eyeing another slice ofAmerican Pie(yup, I said it), and it looks like the film, titledAmerican Reunion, is finally coming together. It wasannouncedlast week thatJason Biggs,Eugene LevyandSeann William Scotthad already signed deals with Universal, and that most of the rest of the original cast were in talks. And now, a few plot details have been revealed. Check them out after the jump.
What’s Playing also says that the storyline is “very funny” and “seems to embody the heart that was present in the first film but missing in the sequels.”
ThoughAmerican Reunionwill be the fourth film featuring the characters from the original movie, it’ll actually be the eighth film in the overall series. After the first two sequels,American Pie 2andAmerican Wedding, the franchise produced four ill-received direct-to-DVD sequels featuring new characters.
The idea of a fourthAmerican Piestruck me as totally unnecessary at first, but as we’re hearing more news I’m actually starting to look forward to seeing the gang again. Particularly if the new film can recapture what was so great about the first one — humor and raunch, but also genuine warmth and an understanding of where these characters were at this place in their lives. Based on the plot outline, it sounds like the potential is definitely there.
Discuss:Are you excited for the new film? Which character are you most looking forward to seeing again? Did anyone else notice that Kevin (Thomas Ian Nichols) and Vicky (Tara Reid) were unaccounted for in the plot summary?
