They got their six seasons, now they’re getting their movie.
“Rick and Morty” co-creator Dan Harmon has affirmed that his acclaimed sitcom “Community” is getting a film spin-off, though says it’s likely some time off.
Actress Alison Brie recently indicated that “legitimate conversations” were underway about a “Community” movie finally happening. Harmon responded to those comments, telling The Wrap:
“I’ll confirm what Alison said which is that legitimacy is here, conversations and agreements are happening. There’s a story – who knows if we’ll end up sticking to it, but it was something we had to compile in order to take it out and court various venues. And now negotiations happen.”
Then he goes on to caution that the news doesn’t mean the film is happening soon, suggesting it could be years away. However, the big change “as far as the industry is concerned, this is a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’, for sure.”
Most of the show’s major stars, including Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs and Ken Jeong, have expressed enthusiasm for reprising their roles in an eventual movie.
