Universal has confirmed the rumours
I’ve seen a few rumours floating around about a fifth “American Pie” movie being in the works – titled “American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile” – but since friends of mine were involved in the last film (“American Pie: Band Camp”) and they’d heard nothing about it, I just dismissed it.
Well, what do ya’ know…it’s true. Universal has confirmed for us that a fifth film in the Eugene Levy starring series will indeed be happening, as our pals at Filmhobbit first mentioned, a couple of weeks back
Unfortunately, this one’s going ahead with ‘another’ new cast and ‘another’ new bunch of characters. You’d think after the fantastic job that Tad Hilgenbrink did as Matt Stifler in “Band Camp” – and considering the amount of money that one made on DVD! – They’d want him back, seems not.
This one will fix on Adam Stifler, the cousin of Matt and Steve (Sean William Scott in the first three films), a youngster whose anything alike his wild relations. Peer pressure starts to turn him though, with his pals coaxing him into helping host the college ‘Naked Mile’ – which is essentially a naked-run across the college campus.
Joe Nussbaum (“Sleepover”) will direct from a script by Erik Lindsay. The film starts shooting May 29, in Toronto.
No word on Eugene Levy, yet – but chances are he’ll be coaxed by some cabbage to reprise his iconic role (if even briefly) as Jim’s droll Daddio.
