In the raunchy comedy American Reunion, East Great Falls High’s Class of 1999 is back, more than a decade later. Husband and wife duo Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) have come home to reminisce with Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Vicky (Tara Reid), Oz (Chris Klein), Heather (Mena Suvari), Finch (Eddie Kay Thomas) and Stifler (Seann William Scott), who out of all of them remains the same as he ever was, while Jim’s dad (Eugene Levy) gets to know Stifler’s mom (Jennifer Coolidge) a little better. In one long-overdue weekend, they will learn that time and distance cannot break the bonds of friendship.

At the film’s press day, co-stars Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan talked about the ways they most related to this story and their characters now, how it was about time for Biggs to be showing his penis, and what they thought of their dominatrix scene. Check out what they had to say after the jump.

At the film’s press day, co-stars Chris Klein and Mena Suvari talked about playing the most grounded couple in the American Pie franchise, how much they’ve both changed since they started this series of films, 13 years ago, what it was like to recreate the poster from the original, and how they had envisioned their characters, so many years later.  Suvari also talked about what attracted her to her role on the first season of American Horror Story, while Klein talked about how he came to be a part of the comedy series Wilfred and how excited he is to be returning for Season 2.  Check out what they had to say after the jump:

Funny or Die has put together a new short to promote the upcoming release of American Reunion.  Star Jason Biggs‘ reputation will never be free of fucking the pie in American Pie, and in the new short, the pie wants its revenge.  American Reunion will be a success if it’s even half as funny as this short.

Hit the jump to check out the short.  American Reunion also stars Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nichols, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, Katrina Bowden, Dania Ramirez, and Shannon Elizabeth. The film opens April 6th.

With the upcoming release of American Reunion, the first three American Pie films have been put to Blu-ray, all offering both theatrical and unrated cuts. The films follow Jim (Jason Biggs) and his best friends Oz (Chris Klein), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott) as they quest to get laid. In the first film, Jim is just looking for sex, in the second he finds love, and in the third he gets married. Alyson Hannigan, Tara Reid, Jennifer Coolidge, Mena Survari, Shannon Elizabeth, January Jones, Natasha Lyonne, and Eugene Levy also star. And our review of the American Pie trilogy on Blu-ray follows after jump.

At the film’s press day, writer/directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (creators/writers of the Harold & Kumar films and big fans of the American Pie franchise) talked about getting all of these actors back together for this, why it’s a 13-year reunion, figuring out how to really push the envelope this time, balance the raunch with the heart of the story, the characters they were excited to expand upon, their process as directors on set, and the fact that there’s a lot of deleted scenes and extra material for the DVD.

A new trailer for American Reunion has gone online. I would never have guessed that the American Pie franchise would feel so sentimental, but the marketing materials for American Reunion have been just incredibly nostalgic. This new trailer delves a bit more into the plot, as we see Jason Biggs’s Jim tempted by the girl he used to babysit who’s now turning 18. Seann William Scott looks like he’ll once again steal the show, and it really feels nice to see all the characters back together again. The overarching tone appears to center on where the characters are now as opposed to where they thought they’d be when they were wide-eyed high schoolers, and I’m interested to see how far they take this. Of course the crux of the films is the humor, but there was a sweetness to American Pie that looks to be prevalent in American Reunion. Time will tell, but I’m genuinely looking forward to this (likely) final installment of the main franchise.

New posters have gone online for the American Pie sequel American Reunion and for the delayed Mel Gibson thriller How I Spent My Summer Vacation.  While I’m still not that interested in a new American Pie movie, I like how the Reunion poster is based on the poster for the original movie.  Except…this time Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) is holding a baby bottle instead of a flute…and the flute went in her…oh, sweet God. If that’s a joke in the movie, then they have taken gross-out humor to a whole new level.  It’s a disturbing level that may fall out of the comic realm.

As for How I Spent My Summer Vacation, I didn’t even remember this movie existed.  It turns out Gibson made it with Adrian Grunberg who served as the first assistant director on Apocalypto.  Gibson plays “a career criminal who gets caught by Mexican authorities and is sent to a drug- and crime-filled prison, where he learns how to survive with the help of a 9-year-old boy.”  If it turns out the “help” the 9-year-old boy provides is as a human shield, I would absolutely believe that for a Mel Gibson movie. Hit the jump to check out the posters.  American Reunion is due out April 6, 2012.  How I Spent My Summer Vacation is due out “Summer 2012″ but who knows if that will be in theaters or straight to DVD (if that date even holds).

Last month, Universal released a red-band teaser trailer for American Reunion, and once again showed that masturbation isn’t for everyone and certainly not for Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs).  Now an all-audiences trailer has gone online and it looks like A) Seann William Scott will once again be the scene-stealer, and B) any jokes that aren’t R-rated are sitcom-level.  Even though I’m tired of the characters, I’m willing to give American Reunion a shot since writer-directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg earned my goodwill with the first two Harold & Kumar movies.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nichols, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, and Shannon Elizabeth.  American Reunion opens April 6, 2012.

The red-band trailer for American Reunion has gone online.  It serves as a helpful reminder that Jim (Jason Biggs) should never masturbate ever again.  He’s just not very good at it.  However, it does lead to a good gag involving a sock.  There’s not much else to say about the trailer since there’s no footage beyond the scene I mentioned.  It’s really more of an announcement that people in their 30s are making a teenage sex comedy.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nichols, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, and Shannon Elizabeth.

Set photos from the upcoming non direct-to-DVD American Pie sequel, American Reunion, have gone online.  They’re not photos from filming, but simply the cast looking directly into the camera while on the set and showing us all what a grand time they’re having.  The photos also show that John Cho is returning, although I’m left to wonder if his role will be as minor as it was in the original movies.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos.  The film reunites Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Eugene Levy, and almost everyone else from the original movie.  American Reunion opens April 6, 2012.

Last week we reported that Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, and Eugene Levy were on board for the new American Pie sequel, American Reunion.  We also learned that negotiations were underway for original cast members Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari, and Jennifer Coolidge to return.  While we already knew that the plot would center on a high-school reunion (it used to be about the pie, man), new details have surfaced that highlight what the individual characters are up to.  Hit the jump if you’ve laid awake at night wondering if Steve Stifler found happiness.

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.

With the success of the American Pie franchise in both theaters and on home video (American Pie, American Pie 2, American Wedding, American Pie Presents: Band Camp, The Naked Mile, Beta House, The Book of Love), it’s no surprise Universal is attempting to get the next American Pie into movie theaters.  According to the LATimes, the studio is bringing in writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle) to script a new take, which is under the working title American Pie 4.

What isn’t clear is the specifics of the project.  Are  Hurwitz and Schlossberg writing it for Chuck, Stifler and the rest of the original American Pie cast to return?  Or are they creating a new cast of characters that go to the same High School?  With the amount of reboots and remakes made in Hollywood, I wouldn’t be surprised to see anything at this point.

According to the article, “at least some of the original cast is interested in coming back for the new picture, though sources emphasized that development is early and there are no actor deals in place.” Meaning, this thing is in the very early stages of development.  More as we get it.

The direct-to-video genre has one goal: show women with their shirts off. Really, that’s it, or at least that’s it when it comes to an American Pie Direct-to-Video remake/sequel films. The only returning cast member is Eugene Levy, and it seems he sleepwalks through these movies, happy to insulate his retirement funds, in what must be a day or two role. And in American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, you’ve got three friends (Kevin Horton, Bug Hall and Brandon Hardesty) and a character named Stifler (John Patrick Jordan) who go through the pains of falling love and having sex for the first time.
