It’s been almost ten years since the cult show Community ended, but everyone is still waiting for the movie to finally come out. Donald Glover had recently said that the script for the film was already done, but show creator Dan Harmon himself has a more accurate update on the status of the film.
Talking to Variety, Harmon confirms that Glover was ‘almost’ correct in that the script was ‘almost’ finished. He says:
“I can confirm Donald Glover’s report that I told him the script was done, but I will also say Donald’s sources are so unreliable because the script is always ‘almost done,’… What can I tell you about it — it’s set on the campus of Greendale Community College. I’m super excited about it, and we’re almost done.”
We still have no idea what the movie will be about, but at least we can confirm that we are going to be headed back to Greendale, which the Greendale Seven will probably have to save again one way or another.
The movie is set to bring back all original main cast members which include Joel McHale (Jeff), Gillian Jacobs (Britta), Alison Brie (Annie), Danny Pudi (Abed), Donald Glover (Troy), Yvette Nicole Brown (Shirley), Jim Rash (Dean Pelton), and Ken Jeong (Ben Chang). There has also been curiosity on whether Chevy Chase (Pierce) will make a cameo, but it’s likely he won’t be appearing especially with all the drama that came out while he was on the show.
“I’ve been having kind of a nervous breakdown the last couple of months just by working on it, and that’s a good thing because I’m having all kinds of flashbacks to 2009,” says Harmon about working on the film, “It’s gonna be awesome… I’m like, ‘Why am I crying about these characters?’”
No release date has been set for the Community movie, but you can check out the entire series (sans one D&D episode) now streaming on Netflix.
