Community’ Movie Will Still Happen- Dan Harmon

 

Dan Harmon isn’t giving up on the dream of #SixSeasonsAndAMovie. He’s just not sure when he’ll be able to make it come true. For starters, there’s the paradoxical problem of this cast being too popular: everyone in that cast has moved on to new shows and movies, so it’s unclear when they’d have time to make a Community movie even if they wanted to. Still, he says, it’ll happen.

Chat with Larry King Harmon offered the latest on the Community movie saying “If I pull out a typewriter right now and write a Community movie just for my own heart and mind, then I have to go through the heartbreak and agony of finding out which of the people are gonna show up to make it. Whereas, on the other hand, if I wait for everybody to line up and say, ‘we’re all out of work and ready to do a Community movie,’ well, I guess that’s a bad idea, too.”

Harmon isn’t the first to point out that the Community cast is much more in-demand today than they were when the series started. Last year, star Joel McHale offered a candid explanation of why a seventh season was unlikely to happen saying “All the actors on the show, almost without exception their stock has risen significantly and it’s out of the pay rate that is affordable to make the show. There is just not enough money to be able to pay for the show.” For what it’s worth, it doesn’t look like any of these actors are getting less busy or less expensive anytime soon  nearly all of them have TV regular roles and/or movie gigs lined up for the foreseeable future.”
