Original Cast to Return for American Pie 4?

Did you know that there have been seven American Pie movies to date? It’s true, although the last four of those were direct-to-DVD releases that focused on new characters only loosely connected to the original cast (ie. Stifler’s cousins). Strange as it might seem, the sequels are still making enough money that Universal Pictures will not be giving up on the franchise anytime soon. In fact, it sounds like there is enough interest that they may even be contemplating another full-blown theatrical feature, with some of the original cast members reportedly interested in returning.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Universal has hired Harold and Kumar writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg to pen a new installment in the American Pie series. They are calling it “American Pie 4″, but it remains to be seen if this would be a sequel or a reboot… or both. I suppose it would depend on how many original cast members return, but they obviously couldn’t bring it back to high school, unless they pull a Degrassi and decide to make some of them teachers.

Either way, there’s at least one actor who will definitely return, no questions asked: Eugene Levy, who starred in all of the DTV sequels as well. Jason Biggs also hasn’t done much since American Wedding and would probably be willing to return. Alyson Hannigan, however, is doing well with How I Met Your Mother, and Seann William Scott seems to have the most successful movie career at the moment. Would you like to see this characters back together on the big screen again?

    Only if Nadia returns!

    I dont think its necessary to have a theatrical sequel for American Pie. 1 and 2 were good 3 was ok. The jokes are even wearing thin by American Pie 2.

    Instead why not work on an original sex comedy that fits todays decade. Too many remakes and unnecessary sequels these days..

    Enough is enough

    I thought there were 6-7 AP movies?

    i liked the first 3 flicks and the straight to dvd flicks were really weak but are doing good on sales, so i would just say stick with the straight to dvds for the original cast needs to find something new. i mean stifler only has so many cousins so i am sure that the franchise will soon die out.

    Just what we need, more mainstream porn and perversion.

    Although, the first one was ok, even though it crossed a couple lines.

    Of course, all of the American Pie fans are going to be interested in something like that! American Pie is arguably the best teen comedy movie that the audience has ever seen. I’ve seen this movie on numerous occasions and it never gets old! This movie is something definitely worth spending your money on! I strongly support the idea of having an american pie 4 the way it is supposed to be! Packed with action, serious college jokes and tons of weird comedy stuff! Hands up, Stiffler might be coming back!

    i love all the american pie movies even the ones you came on dvd but are funny but not so funny like the first 3 it does not feel right the ones that came on dvd they need the original that started with american pie and that they should finish it.

    I think it would pretty cool to have a 4th one to the first three. Call it American Baby or something like that. If you remember Band Camp Jim’s Dad mentioned Michelle was gone because she was prego I think, so he filled in for her at the band camp maybe they should go with that. And Finch stops messing with MILF this time lol.

    If Steve Stifler ,the grand f**kin facillitator comes back it will definetly be a big hit.

  • Tom

    I think a 4th one with the original Casts would be awesome to see but I agree it will only be worth a S**t if Steve Stifler the grand f**kin facililator comes back.

  • there defiently should be an American pie 4 because i would like to see Jason, Alyson, Mena, Nathsha, Thomas, Eddie, Tara, Shannon and the rest of the cast to come back together again like they did in american pie 2 when Tara decided to only do two American pie movies

  • Jobe

    Well i’m a very big fan of the american pies and all these strait to DVD’s are getting boring we need a number 4 with the original cast maybe even a pregnancy? ehh? XD Or a reunion ???

  • mercs

    this could be good or could be a dud. i think the series is running it’s course (although they still make money on the dvd releases and i didn’t mind the last one book of love after two very poor efforts), so why not go out with a big finale!

    the problem is that i don’t think stiffler will be back and i also think the jim character has run it’s course unless they want to concentrate on them as young parents going through the usual problems. then you are leaving the realm of college humour and going into one of those rom com films that clutter up screens…

    tough gig to do well, but hopefully this will be the big ending the series deserves and we can set about trying to make another series that is as good for this generation…

    of course we need another american pie a reunion would be awsome as i loved the first 3 and still laugh to this day when i watch them but the american oie presents for me were a bit boring and not funny enough to deserve the american pie name.Bring on american pie 4 highschool reunion it will kick ass and show how a comedy should be done as stanhelsing and many these days i find are crap and dont even make me chuckle.get all the origonals and you have a win straight away as i will buy no matter what u cant beat the first 3 for comedy and u never will its as simple as that
