Chalk this up to strange timing. Yesterday afternoon the Hollywood Reporter announced Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott and Eugene Levy have all completed deals to star in American Reunion and shortly afterward it was revealed Scott had “voluntarily admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues” according to a statement from his representatives.
As for what is being referred to as the fourth film in the American Pie franchise — pretty much overlooking the direct-to-video sequels — the script for American Reunion will come from Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg who previously teamed on Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. The duo will also direct.
The plan appears to be to also bring back previous stars including Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari and Jennifer Coolidge for the film.
Currently there are no plot details, but based on the title I can only assume we’re looking at a high school reunion story, which should give Hurwitz and Schlossberg plenty to work with. The last outing was American Wedding in 2003.
