Community creator Dan Harmon has given a huge update on the status of the upcoming film adaptation of the popular US sitcom.Earlier this month, Donald Glover provided his own update on the film, saying: “I was told that the script — literally, I was texting today — I was told that the script was done”.“I haven’t read it yet,” he added, before clarifying that he is fully committed to the project. “It’s really just a schedule thing [but] I’m in,” said Glover, who famously portrayed Troy Barnes on the show. “I’m all in.”Harmon has now nuanced Glover’s statement by stating that he is “almost done” working on the script, as he told Variety this week.“I can confirm Donald Glover’s report that I told him the script was done, but I will also say Donald’s sources are so unreliable because the script is always ‘almost done,’” Harmon said. “What can I tell you about it — it’s set on the campus of Greendale Community College.
I’m super excited about it, and we’re almost done.”Speaking about the process of wrangling the script and the cast of characters at his disposal, Harmon continued: “I’ve been having kind of a nervous breakdown the last couple of months just by working on it, and that’s a good thing because I’m having all kinds of flashbacks to 2009.
It’s gonna be awesome. I’m like, ‘Why am I crying about these characters?’”The Community movie was first announced back in September 2022, nearly a full decade after the start of a fan campaign to end the comedy’s run with a film.
Original cast members Glover, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong are set to be reunited with series creator Dan Harmon.
