'American Pie' Franchise Returning to Theaters?!

Filed under: Comedy », RumorMonger », Fandom », Remakes and Sequels »



With filthy, foul-mouthed R-rated comedy making a huge comeback (thanks, in part, to the success of Judd Apatow's films) coupled with the fact that the original cast of American Pie aren't exactly A-listin' it up on the big screen lately -- well, it doesn't take a brainiac to imagine some folks might want to revive the popular teen sex comedy franchise and stick a new one in theaters. Seeing as the direct-to-DVD installments featuring Eugene Levy all did well for Universal, now might be the perfect time to reunite this cast -- all of whom could probably use the extra paycheck (ahem, we're looking at you Tara Reid).

According to Moviehole, that's exactly what Universal is looking to do. Though no one has officially joined the cast (I think it's easy to say Eugene Levy would do it for a credit and a gift certificate to the Olive Garden), but the site claims things are inching along and an announcement could be made soon-ish. One imagines any sort of theatrical sequel would revolve around the married lives of Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and perhaps they'll tap in to the recent big-screen pregnancy boom and churn out something like American Baby ... or whatever.

What do you think? Is there room for another big-screen American Pie film? Would you see it?

Stars in Rewind: Seth Green & Alyson Hannigan: The Early Years

Filed under: Comedy », Romance », Trailers and Clips », Stars in Rewind »



Amidst playing the offspring of an evil doctor supergenius and doing questionable things flutes, Seth Green and Alyson Hannigan went through the sweet rise and heart-wrenching fall of love on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But that wasn't the first time these two dated. If you're up on your trivia, or happened to like bad '80s films, you might remember that they were love interests in My Stepmother is an Alien -- both at the ripe age of 14 -- where they set the spark for future romance.

You remember it, right? It's 1988, and the alien otherwise known as Kim Basinger gets sent to earth to investigate scientist Dan Aykroyd. Back then, 14 actually looked like 14, and in the following clip, you can see Green's Fred picking up Hannigan's Jessi for a hot night out on the town, or a hot night at a dance. He's in a pale suit, and she's in a soft pink dress with poofs and lace -- full '80s ensembles and almost no skin showing. They look ridiculous, which is all sorts of cute, and Fred throws around words like "doll." It's almost like a Hollywood version of Linklater's Sunrise/Sunset films. What will be next? Alyson and Seth meeting on another world? They've already tackled witches, werewolves, and aliens!
