Universal Eyeing American Pie 4?

Moviehole is reporting that Universal Pictures has decided to abandon the direct-to-DVD American Pie movies because they are planning to make a fourth theatrical film which will bring back some of the leads from the previous films.

It is unknown who will return, although if I had to guess, I’d say that it might be called American Marriage, and pick up with Jim and Michelle Levenstein (Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan), who might be celebrating their 10th year anniversary. Or maybe it will be called American Family, American Newborn or American Pregnancy and tell the story of the Levenstein’s having kids. But I’m not sure how any of those options might incorporate the American Pie-style raunchy comedy. Or could this generation’s teen comedy franchise grow up (like much of its audience) into something beyond that?

    I think I'll skip this one and wait for American Custody Battle
  • Jef Costello
    American Reunion? Come on, let's see the gang at their 15th high school reunion or something.
  • American Pie FOUR? Aren't they up to 6? Lessee, American Pie, Americna Pie 2, American Wedding, American Pie: Band Camp, American Pie: The Naked Mile and American Pie: Beta House... yup, looks like 6 to me...
  • It's about time. already!
  • After the whole American Wedding thing, I would have to venture to say that the audience for this film may have "grown up" but would still flock to see the original cast throwdown some sex humor.

    I know I would

    How could they not get the entire cast back? None of those guys are working regularly except Hannigan. I think they should combine Pie with Nightmare on Elm Street. Call it American Nightmare and have Freddy skewer Stiffler.

    How about Freddy skewer Stiffler's mom? Everyone else does! ZING!

    Not a terrible idea.
  • whatever
    Just call it American cash cow.

    American Divorce
  • How about another reunion in 50 years called American Funerals and get over with it
  • Andy
    American Divorce, is what imagined right after the third installment.

    When will Hollywood learn that just because a franchise was kind-of successful, doesn't mean you have to make 30 million sequels (this applied to SAW as well.)
  • jamie
    this could work as American Reunion, as the above person mentioned
  • Louis
    you could never ruin american pie... make as many as you want universal!

    I would love to see an American Pie: Reunion move with the original cast. I wouldn't mind if they left Kevin out and Tara Reids character out, just as long as Stiffler, Fich, and Jim are in it. I think it would have huge success, I still watch the 1st three films all the time.

    They could make it about a 10 year High School reunion
