Last year, we reported that the American Pie franchise was getting a sequel/reboot, and that writer-directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) were looking to bring back the cast from the original movie. Today, The Wrap is reporting that they have begun to succeed in that endeavor by signing Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, and Eugene Levy. Negotiations are also underway with original cast members Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari, and Jennifer Coolidge for the new film, which will be titled American Reunion. Apparently there is no love for Alyson Hannigan, Shannon Elizabeth, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Natasha Lyonne, but with champions like Reid and Klein, who needs ‘em! The Wrap also reports that filming is set to begin on May 24th.
Presumably American Reunion will be followed by the sex comedies American Mid-Life Crisis, American Divorce, American Regret, American Nursing Home, and American Funeral. And once you reach American Funeral, the sex jokes write themselves.

I believe this film will be premiering at the Hague. Immediately after the premiere, it will be tried on several counts of human rights violations.
Alyson Hannigan is a must. she plays jason biggs wife!
How is Stifler’s mom going to be in the movie if shit-break isn’t? Besides, the latter is much more important.
Yeah I’m sorry but w/ out Alyson Hannigan this movie won’t work.
Who cares about Reid she is the least favorite of all the characters. Glad to see Suvari making a return though I liked her character more in the movie Loser.
We need Eddie Kaye Thomas as well; he is hilarious! Hope that they can at least get him and Hannigan.
Oh, Matt, you are too funny! At least, you think you are.
