Yes, the long-awaited Community: The Movie is still in production, and Ken Jeong, who played the chaotic Ben Chan in the series, has opened up about his thoughts after reading the film’s script.
“It made me emotional and I came right back,” Chong said in an interview with TV Insider, without revealing too much. “That’s all I can legally say.” Director Chung also expressed excitement about the possibility of reuniting with the cast on set. I can’t express it in words. ”
Fans have been waiting for the latest information ever since Peacock announced that the movie will be made into a movie in 2022, but director Chung reassured them: There’s a script, there’s a plan. But we don’t know when that will happen. If it comes to an agreement, it will be magical and truly emotional. ”
Yvette Nicole Brown, who plays Shirley Bennett, also recently spoke out about her enthusiasm and provided further details about the film’s development. In an interview with The Wrap in October 2024, Brown revealed that the script was being updated to reflect her now confirmed involvement. “For a little while, I wasn’t confirmed, so now that I’m confirmed, they have to change some things,” she explained. “And now we can make some changes to Shirley’s character.”
Brown also acknowledged the logistical hurdles the production faces, especially when coordinating schedules for the ensemble cast. “Right now we’re trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together to fit everyone’s schedules. We were planning to do it, but then the strike happened. And now it’s a matter of figuring out when their shows end.” Is it like when will their movie be finished? When will So-and-So’s tour take a break?
Alison Brie, who played Annie Edison, similarly praised the work she read. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in April 2024, Brie said, “I read the script, and it’s really funny.” As for her role, Brie told fans that she hopes Annie “doesn’t change too much.” She said, “I love her just the way she is.”
An exact date for the start of production has not been announced, but it is known that the film will be filmed in Los Angeles with the help of California’s tax credit program. Many of the original cast members are set to return, including Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Donald Glover, and Gillian Jacobs. However, there are no plans for Chevy Chase to reprise his role as Pierce Hawthorne.
We hope the stars align soon for this long-awaited reunion to happen.
