Alison Brie Confirms Community Movie Script Is Finished & Shares Her Review

Summary The long-awaited Community movie script is finished, exciting fans of the sitcom for a big adventure ahead with the original cast.

Despite facing obstacles like scheduling conflicts, the cast is eager to make the Community movie a reality after years of waiting.

With the script complete, there is optimism that filming could start in 2024, leading to a potential holiday release for the highly anticipated movie.

Alison Brie confirms the Community movie script is finally finished and shares her review. Premiered in 2009, the popular sitcom ran for five seasons on NBC before it was canceled and moved to the now-defunct Yahoo! Screen for its final sixth season. In 2022, Peacock announced they were making a Community movie penned by creator Dan Harmon and writer Andrew Guest with much of the main Community cast returning, including Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Ken Jeong, and Jim Rash.

Now, years after its original announcement, Alison Brie shared a major update on the Community movie during a recent appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Alison Brie says she has read Dan Harmon's script for the Community movie and shared her thoughts, saying "it’s so funny." The actress also expressed her hopes for her character, Annie. Read her full comments below:

We got a script, which is a major update. We got a script — you heard it here first... I’ve read the script, and it’s so funny... I hope that Annie hasn’t changed too much because I loved her just the way she was.

Six seasons and a movie, which started as an in-universe joke that sparked a passionate fan campaign, finally became a reality in 2022 when Peacock announced that a Community movie was officially in development. However, over the ensuing years, the project has faced many obstacles preventing it from progressing through development and entering production. The movie was originally scheduled to shoot in June 2023, which had to be delayed due to the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that summer.

Another major obstacle the Community movie is facing is the limited availability of its cast. This is a major concern, according to Harmon, who has publicly wondered, "What are the odds that everyone’s schedule is going to once again align?" Though Harmon has worried that the Community movie might not happen, finishing the script is major progress, and it appears that Alison Brie and many other cast members are excited about making time in their schedules to start shooting.

Joel McHale hopes the Community movie can start shooting in the summer of 2024 and, with a "quick turnaround," will be ready for a holiday 2024 release. With Harmon's script finished, this plan is one step closer to becoming a reality. However, "working around Donald [Glover's] schedule" is a major obstacle, according to McHale. The multi-hyphenate has several other commitments, including the Star Wars Lando movie. Though challenges still lie ahead, Alison Brie's update is a sign that the Community movie is one step closer to shooting.

Community seasons 1-6 are streaming on Hulu and Peacock.
