Dan Harmon, the creative mastermind behind the hit TV show Community, has just dropped some exciting news for fans. In a recent interview, Harmon confirmed that a movie adaptation of the beloved series is currently in the works. This announcement has sent shockwaves of joy through the Community fanbase, who have been eagerly anticipating a big-screen reunion.
The movie, which has been greenlit by Peacock, will bring back the original cast of the show, with one notable exception – Chevy Chase. Harmon, along with co-writer Andrew Guest, is currently busy working on the script for the highly anticipated film.
Interestingly, the idea for the Community movie was pitched even before the global pandemic hit. Sony, the studio behind the show, saw a surge in its popularity through streaming platforms and recognized the perfect opportunity for a cinematic adaptation.
However, getting the entire cast back together for the movie has proven to be quite a challenge. With busy schedules and conflicting commitments, Harmon and his team are struggling to coordinate the availability of cast members such as Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, and Yvette Nicole Brown. Harmon strongly believes that the essence of Community lies in the chemistry of the ensemble cast, and he is determined to have them all united on screen once again.
Originally, the plan was to shoot the film in Atlanta, Georgia, to accommodate Glover’s schedule. But with the ongoing production stoppages and the difficulty of aligning everyone’s calendars, Harmon expresses concerns about the movie falling apart. However, he remains optimistic and believes that any hurdles can be overcome with perseverance and dedication.
One of Harmon’s biggest fears is living up to the high expectations of the passionate Community fanbase. He acknowledges that he let them down during his very public feud with Chevy Chase and is determined to make it up to them. By being honest about his worries and fears, Harmon hopes to break the cycle and deliver a movie that truly satisfies the loyal fans.
As news of the Community movie continues to spread, fans of the show are eagerly awaiting further updates. The prospect of seeing their favorite characters reunited on the big screen is a dream come true, and they are counting on Harmon to deliver a film that captures the essence and magic of the original series.
