Community fans have been waiting a very long time for the movie spinoff to materialize, and it has only moved forward over the past few years, but only incrementally. The show’s creator, Dan Harmon, is a busy guy, with his other series Krapopolis coming to an end, and Rick and Morty still going strong. Nevertheless, he has offered us an update on Community: The Movie.
In a recent interview with Variety, Harmon said the next time you see him on Instagram doing something other than writing the Community movie, please don’t yell at him to get back to work. It’s happening, Harmon promises, but there are so many moving parts that there has never been a precise timeline.
“When you see me making fart videos on the Internet, don’t worry that it means I’ve given up making the movie. It’s not how time or the industry work. If you see me doing it something other than typing, it’s not because I have stopped typing. It’s because when I get on Instagram, I don’t want to make videos about typing.”
Harmon’s update is that he’s doing a final pass on the script — but that’s also not the reason cameras haven’t rolled yet.
“I’m going to use the time that we have to do a final pass on this thing that hopefully makes everybody real excited and happy. In the meantime, can you call them delays when I mean, did we have a shoot day? The engine is still moving.”
And, he stresses, there’s no one person, or reason, that it’s taking time for the project — set to eventually premiere on Peacock — from coming immediately.
“I saw where Donald Glover said he’s hearing from fans that they think he’s the reason the movie’s not happening sooner. I immediately wanted to get on my Instagram and say, ‘Stop yelling at Donald! Do you want to scare this guy off?’ He wants to do the movie, stop haranguing him! He’s not the reason, no single human being could be the reason for delays. The frustrating thing is that our engine moves so slowly and so easily gets derailed and stuck. The timescale is so different for us than for the fans. The fans have 900 times more anxiety per minute to feel than than this machine that ultimately gives them their movie.”
So we just have to hang in there a while longer. For now, all we know is that returning cast members include Joel McHale, Donald Glover, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and Yvette Nicole Brown.
Are you excited for this movie to finally arrive?
