It would be almost impossible to imagine comedy in the late '90s and early 2000s without "American Pie." For people of that generation, it was a defining film that went on to become a massive mainstream hit, spawning a long-running franchise that made Universal Pictures a lot of money. It also made stars of Jason Biggs, Sean William Scott, Natasha Lyonne, Tara Reid, and much of the rest of the cast. Now, 24 years later, it appears a fifth theatrically released "American Pie" movie is on the way.
We learned last year that Sujata Day ("Insecure") has been tapped to write a "fresh take" on the franchise for Universal Pictures. It will be the first entry in the series to hit theaters since 2012's "American Reunion." It makes sense for the studio to revisit Jim, Stifler, and the gang, as the series has grossed nearly $1 billion at the global box office to date.

Let’s do a quick tally of the American Pie movies, shall we? There’s been the original high school movie, followed by the college movie, then the marriage movie, then the reunion movie. What’s left, the watching your kid go to high school movie to close the cycle? Tara Reid, an American Pie alum, is stating that there’s an American Pie 5 script that’s been developed and that the movie will happen at some point, which means that unless something untoward happens between now and then that it could very well come true. But should it? Should it really? The American

During a chat with "Et Online", Reid dropped the news that a script for American Pie 5 is out there and she claims it's "one of the best ones" of the entire…...

It’s hard to believe that American Pie arrived over twenty years ago as it seems like just yesterday that we were all listening to wild band camp stories and getting hilarious advice from Jim’s awkward father. Over two decades later, the iconic R-rated comedy has spawned multiple sequels and spinoffs and inspired tons of other comedies, but as of yet, we’re still left waiting for a proper American Pie 5.
Whether or not the fifth installment ever happens remains to be seen, of course, but in the meantime, the brand is continuing to pump out spinoffs and the latest is American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules. As you can see in the trailer up above, it’s not exactly the new outing that fans may be hoping for, but it’s still the first entry in the franchise in quite a long time and looks to be following...

You know how it’s been said more than once throughout the years that anything is possible? Well, maybe some things should be deemed as less than possible and well kept within the past where they thrived. What Ryan Scott of MovieWeb includes in his article however is pretty accurate, this kind of comedy has it’s place and time and as of now an American Pie 5 might not do quite as well as it did about seven years ago. Sean William Scott seems interested in reviving his character, Steven Stiffler, while even Tara Reid seems to think it might work,

It’s hard to believe that American Pie debuted twenty years ago. It seems like just yesterday that we were all entertained by wild band camp stories and hilarious advice from Jim’s awkward dad. Two decades later, the iconic R-rated comedy has spawned three sequels and countless spinoffs. It’s the inspiration for numerous movies that have come after it as well and has a loyal base of fans who are still eagerly awaiting the release of American Pie 5.
Whether or not the fifth installment of the franchise ever actually comes to fruition remains to be seen, though. The follow-up to the well-received American Reunion was announced way back in 2012 following the movie’s domestic success. After seven years, however, audiences are still waiting on a next chapter and Sean William Scott, who plays Steve Stifler in the series, recently offered his thoughts on if we’ll ever...

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of one of the best (if not the best) raunchy comedy of our generation. When American Pie first came out in 1999, its success was completely unexpected. Four films later and fans still wanted more. However, when the fourth installment, American Reunion, came out in 2012, everyone thought that we’d be getting another one soon after—including the actors themselves. According to Thomas Ian Nicholas, the script for the fifth film was already finished a while ago, but after Reunion, no one heard from production again. Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the brains behind American
