Not so Dean-tastic news, Community fans. It seems we’ll have to wait just a little longer to re-enroll at Greendale.

According to series creator Dan Harmon, the long-awaited film adaptation of his acclaimed NBC sitcom that ran between 2009 and 2015 is “still happening,” but currently “in a holding pattern” as the production attempts to wrangle the show’s original cast members: Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs (Britta Perry), Danny Pudi (Abed Nadir), Yvette Nicole Brown (Shirley Bennett), Alison Brie (Annie Edison), Donald Glover (Troy Barnes), Ken Jeong (Ben Chang), and Jim Rash (Dean Pelton).

“It’s hard to coordinate schedules,” Harmon exclusively tells me over a Zoom call centered around the eighth season of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty (premiering May 25 at 11:00 p.m. ET).

He goes on to joke that audiences have waited so long, they’ve probably begun to die of old age. “I think maybe they’ve started dying off, so we’re not hurting as many people anymore by the continued delays. God rest their souls. We’re going to have a memorial service for half of our audience tomorrow in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. No, I have nothing to report right now — other than the continued enthusiasm for time to polish a script while we coordinate schedules for a great movie.”

Fans have clamored for a Community feature for years, often rallying around the now-iconic slogan first shouted by Pudi’s Abed in Season 2: “Six seasons and a movie!”

That dream finally became a reality in 2022 when NBCUniversal’s fledgling Peacock streaming service green-lit the project. Harmon would write the script with Andrew Guest (writer behind some of the show’s most popular episodes), while nearly all of the original actors were confirmed to reprise their beloved characters.

Glover and Brown came aboard not long after.

In addition to stepping back into the shows of Jeff Winger, McHale is also set to executive produce the film alongside Harmon, Guest, Russ Krasnoff, and Gary Foster.

“‘Six seasons and a movie’ started out as a cheeky line from Community’s early seasons and quickly ignited a passionate fan movement for this iconic, hilarious and cool NBC comedy,” Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said in a statement at the time. “We’re incredibly grateful that 15 years later, we are able to deliver fans this promised movie and can’t wait to get to work with Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest, Joel McHale, Sony and our partners at UTV to continue this epic comedy for Peacock audiences.”

“Community was light years ahead of its time when it premiered on NBC in 2009 and we are thrilled to once again visit the brilliant minds of Dan Harmon, Andrew Guest and this impeccable cast. We are grateful to Peacock, our partners at UTV and to all the zealous fans who have cherished this iconic show,” added Jason Clodfelter, Co-President, Sony Pictures Television Studios.

Erin Underhill, President, Universal Television, concluded: “This franchise is the very definition of community. We’re excited to bring the band back together and continue the journey of these beloved characters.”

Since then, however, there have been precious few updates on the movie, whose production has been pushed back again and again. McHale offered up some promising news last month, revealing that the budget had been approved, echoing Harmon’s statement on scheduling issues, and cautiously guessing at a fall 2025 start date.

“We are funded. That is the hardest thing to get made, or get to get done, and we have got that done,” he said (via Us Weekly). “It’s come down to scheduling. And so, I think it’ll be done by — I think it’ll shoot at some point this year. Probably in the autumn. That’s my prediction and that’s also my hope.”

All six seasons of Community can be found on Peacock.

Say it loud and clear: I’m For Planned Parenthood

Over 250 artists, activists, athletes and business leaders support Planned Parenthood’s mission. All across the country, nearly 600 nonprofit health centers provide the care communities need and deserve.

That’s why we say: I’m For Planned Parenthood — join us. Add your name to the list at plannedparenthoodaction.org.

I’m For Planned Parenthood
Because I’m for freedom. And Americans are losing more of our freedom to decide how we live our own lives.

Because I’m for health care. And 1 in 4 people in the U.S. have been to a Planned Parenthood health center for care: birth control, cancer screenings, wellness exams, STI testing and treatment, abortion, gender affirming care, and more.

Because I’m for you and me — not the government — deciding what care we need and where we can go to get it.

Alison Brie and Dave Franco have been hit with a copyright infringement suit over “Together,” their independent horror film that sold for a reported $17 million after a bidding war at Sundance.

The suit filed on Tuesday alleges that the film is a “blatant rip-off” of “Better Half,” a 2023 independent film. The suit claims that “Together” steals the high-concept idea of a couple who find themselves physically fused together, as well as numerous other plot and thematic elements, including a “near verbatim” reference to Plato’s Symposium.

Franco and Brie are married and have collaborated on several projects. According to the suit, they were pitched “Better Half” in 2020, but they and their WME agents turned it down.

The producers of “Better Half,” Jess Jacklin and Charles Beale, heard about “Together” the day before it screened at Sundance, and decided to view it to assess the similarities.

“As the audience laughed and cheered, Jacklin and Beale sat in stunned silence, their worst nightmare unfolding,” the suit states. “Scene after scene confirmed that Defendants did not simply take ‘stock ideas’ or ‘scenes a faire’ but stole virtually every unique aspect of ‘Better Half’s’ copyrightable expression.”

The lawsuit alleges that the defendants engaged in an “intentional scheme” to copy their film, and that Brie and Franco rejected the initial offer “because they wanted to produce the film themselves and have WME package the project with one of the agency’s own writers.”

Neon acquired the film at Sundance and is set to release it on Aug. 1. The distributor is named as a defendant along with Brie, Franco, WME and writer-director Michael Shanks.

In response, a WME spokesperson called the suit “frivolous and without merit.”

“The facts in this case are clear and we plan to vigorously defend ourselves,” the spokesperson said.

“Better Half” was written and directed by Patrick Henry Phelan, who worked as an assistant director in New York before getting his MFA in screenwriting at USC. The film was his feature debut. StudioFest, the production company, is the only named plaintiff in the suit.

According to the suit, the casting director on “Better Half” emailed a script and synopsis to Franco and Brie’s agents at WME in August 2020, along with an offer for the couple to star. Franco’s agent quickly responded that, “Dave is going to pass, but thank you for thinking of him.”

In the synopsis, the “Better Half” was described “a surreal, satirical comedy about a man and a woman who have a one-night stand, and wake up to see that they have become literally and physically attached.”

The email did not describe it as horror film. When it appeared at the Brooklyn Film Festival, it was billed as a romantic comedy.

The suit describes numerous alleged similarities between the two films.

“In both ‘Better Half’ and ‘Together,’ the main characters struggle to navigate daily life as their physical attachment progresses and they start to control each other’s body parts,” the complaint alleges. “While at first they desperately search for ways to detach their bodies — from medical intervention to chainsaws— by the end, they resign themselves to their conjoined existence.”

Among the similarities, the suit alleges, is a “strikingly similar bathroom sequence where the protagonists become attached at the genitals and attempt to hide their intimate encounter from a minor character waiting just outside.”

The suit alleges that the films end with the couples pulling out a vinyl copy of the Spice Girls’ album, “Spiceworld,” as they accept their fate.
