The American Pie film franchise is far from over.
The 45-year-old actress told Entertainment Tonight that a fifth film in the comedy franchise “will happen,” but she doesn’t “know when” owing to the original ensemble cast’s hectic schedules. Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Seann William Scott, Shannon Elizabeth, Eugene Levy, and Jennifer Coolidge starred in the original American Pie, which aired in 1999.
“It might happen,” Reid hinted, before adding, “OK, I can’t tell you when, because I don’t really know when, because we have to get all the actors and at the same time to get our schedules together.”
This is more than simply conjecture or a performer stating it would be fantastic to return to a film in which they had a great time. “There is a script out there,” Reid says.
Reid seemed to be picking her words carefully, saying, “I’ll put it that way.”
‘It’s one of the best ones [of the series]… It’s amazing,” she said, reiterating that the sequel ‘will happen, I just don’t know when.’
Reid also told ET that the core cast has stayed in touch throughout the years. “We all stay in touch in different ways,” she explained.
“When you grow up with someone and you get your first breaks with someone, you can never forget that,” she continued, revealing that the friendship she formed with some of her former co-stars will stay “forever.”
The original picture was a huge surprise box office success, collecting $235 million and generating three theatrical sequels.
American Pie 2 was released in theaters in 2001, followed by American Wedding in 2003. Most recently, several of the cast members collaborated on the 2012 film American Reunion.
