The ‘Community’ Movie is Happening – Now With Donald Glover
Sixty dollars? Hello? Community movie? Troy’s joining your cast. Yes, I’ll hold.
Last fall, Peacock announced that the ‘six seasons and a movie’ plan was becoming a reality. The movie has slowly been shaping up since. Creator Dan Harmon joined Six Seasons and a Podcast crew to discuss his story plans. In January, Joel McHale announced to an excited audience that the Community movie would start filming this summer. At that point, most cast members were confirmed to be on deck – Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong.
Fans have been waiting for two key members of the original cast members to announce they’re on board. During a retrospective of his most iconic characters with GQ, Donald Glover revealed that he’s in.
“The Community movie, there’s some progress on it. We’re supposed to be shooting it soon. Haven’t seen a script. In true Dan (Harmon) fashion, will probably get it on the first day. But yeah, it’s supposed to be happening. I know just as much about it as you do.”
“I think if there’s names missing from a list, it’s because the names that are on the list, and their deals are agreed upon enough that it’s OK to say they are on the list, and anybody that’s not on a list, it’s just not the case yet. So there is nothing official about anybody being out.”
What the Heck is Community?
So… you’ve never watched the show. It starts when former lawyer Jeff Winger has to return to college to get a legit degree. He creates a Spanish study group with an eccentric group of students, but they rarely study Spanish. Instead, they get into campus-wide paintball fights, deal with various ridiculous plots to take over the school, build giant blanket forts, and more. They even play with alternate timelines, and there are animated episodes and fantastic guest stars.
Like Rick and Morty? Watch this show (it’s better, IMO). If you like Dan Harmon, watch this show. Do you enjoy things that are funny? Watch this show. The nearly complete six-season run is streaming on both Hulu and Netflix – you’ll have to find the D&D episode elsewhere, though.
