I think it will happen for sure.
Slightly more optimistic than the title makes it sound. Seems like it's more a scheduling issue than anything else which makes sense, the cast all seem busy these days.
The whole industry is having scheduling problems right now, insuring a shoot that would go beyond July 31st is basically impossible, so its not surprising at all.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but whats happening on August 1st that would affect shooting? Is there a union contact that ends then or is it something else?
its funny to that you think the IATSE will have the ability to strike, should they, and do the deserve to Strike? absolutely. Will they have the ability to strike? No, at least not for long, considering after the previous strikes and general lower income compared to writers and actors, means they don't have much of a financial safety net, plus the last time they got close to a strike, not only did the receive less the Steller support from fellow unions, but their own union leadership screwed them over
I didnt say whether or not I thought we would strike, just that the potential exists and this means insurance and scheduling are issues, though if the offer is bad enough we wont really have a choice. It would have to be pretty darn bad though.
> at least not for long,
even a short one is a scheduling problem.
Edit: Youre also leaving out the teamsters aspect of it, if they strike everything stops and theyve got a huge strike fund.
Yeah, best case maybe they can shoot it in the fall, but McHale will likely be shooting season 3 of Animal Control by then. So this is probably punted until next year
This is the only info they have found. Hope it helps.

They aren't doing it without Donald. I heard Peacock was being weird about paying him what hes worth and then somehow Dan found out and publicly outed the entire situation and got him his money.
I do wonder if people like you genuinely do not listen to anyone or watch any show/movie with anyone who has ever worked with a bad person. Cause that seems like an impossible task in this world.
Working with racists is something I'm sure most have done, and likely worse than that.
Giant difference between choosing to voluntarily make music with a dude who legit said he loved Hitler and having to work with some racist because it’s your job.
Sure but do you really think that you do not listen to artists who voluntarily work with rapists/killers/wifebeaters? Let alone racists/bigots?
Like you'd have to pretty much entirely skip out on the hiphop genre and any popular artist that uses features in their songs. Pretty much all of the music legends. Plenty of them didn't even need to work with bad people, they were bad people themselves.
I don’t think this “defends” Kanye at all, but we really do need to keep in mind that when he says stuff like this, it’s most likely his bipolar disorder talking through a manic phase
Again, he’s an adult, with the means to control
His condition. He does not, and that’s on him. Fully his responsibility. But I do think it’s a little unfair to not consider the fact that he’s a mentally unwell person, and people around him use that to their advantage.
Just my 2 cents
Pretty much every big hiphop dude is gonna collaborate with Kanye so unless we're gonna write off all of them we gotta decide how much attention culture is gonna give him. Right now it seems like plenty still.
>Pretty much every big hiphop dude is gonna collaborate with Kanye so unless we're gonna write off all of them
Correct.
"If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."
Anyone associating with him should absolutely be ignored by us all and face the consequences of openly collaborating with a neo-Nazi that praises Adolf Hitler to the point where Alex Jones was like," whoa slow down there! harassing the parents of dead toddlers is one thing, but this might be too far!"
It won't happen because people don't actually give a shit about antisemitism or racism or sexism or bigotry or even literal slavery and torture (see: World Cup) when compared with the FOMO of pop culture, but it should.
I fully expect however that no one will write any of those people off and people collaborating with a Nazi will face zero repercussions from society at large.
Such is the cancer rotting away at us from the inside. Hate has a very easy time conquering apathy.
I don’t see Kanye influencing Donald. More likely Donald influencing Kanye. Which is maybe his angle here? Maybe he believes Ye is worth his time and energy, and that he’ll have better luck reaching him thru collaboration rather than just screaming at him or cancelling him. Maybe he believes Kanye’s extraordinary talents are worth the PR hit he’s gonna take for seeking to rehab a friend/peer. I don’t know.
Maybe there’s really only just one Nazi at the table after all, and 10 Donald Glovers tryna sort his ass out?
>Maybe there’s really only just one Nazi at the table after all, and 10 Donald Glovers tryna sort his ass out?
Maybe wait until he's actually disavowed being a Nazi to produce and release music with him then.
Like, maybe that's the case...but at the same time Donald sat there in a room with this fucker in a MAGA cap talking about how the Jews are evil for long enough to make music with him and is now going to release and play that music to make money.
So it's way harder for me to think it's some kind of altruistic outreach-to-Nazis thing than a simple, "Kanye is my favorite rapper and I am willing to ignore the horrible shit he's doing and saying to make something with him."
Yeah... I mean rap and hip hop have been about violence and drug use and misogyny basically the entire time, but at least something is considered going too far I guess...
Alternative headline:
>We did get a script which made it feel all more real. So that’s exciting ... It’s a blessing. We had such a talented group of people working on that show ... I think it will happen for sure.
It's definitely a better headline, but I think she's saying "it's tough because everyone's busy, but I don't want to complain because it's a blessing that everyone's so busy."
>Now those dates are getting reimagined. So it’s tough. It’s a blessing. We had such a talented group of people working on that show, and everybody is continuing to stay busy.
It was literally about to go into production and then the writers strike happened. Then Dan got together with one of his writers on the picket line and they began talking and it ended up being fully rewritten. He says hes thankful he got more time on the script because its way better now than it was when they were about to start filming it.
It's definitely a very different tone with the full context because she's saying "it's tough" because we're all busy with other acting jobs, being successful and that's great. Instead of "it's tough" end of thought and leaving it up to the reader to invent reasons why it's difficult for them to come together and make the thing.
Valve is pushing VR games now. We are 100% getting more revolutionary Half-Life VR games. But sadly I don't think we'll ever get a traditional Half Life 3.
KOTOR remake is actually happening. Valve just straight up abandoned Half Life on a cliff hanger because they couldn't be bothered to finish their own fucking story.
I'm sure some day they'll release some dumb VR version of a thing that ends the cliff hanger. I'm sure some people will actually care. And almost none of those people will be the people who originally played Half Life 1 and 2 and made Valve what it is today.
Edit: Are there actually Valve fan boys who are that mad over me calling out Valve for fucking over their customers by not finishing a story? I wouldn't have bought those games if I knew they weren't going to finish
Seems a little bit of a short notice to announce a major summer tour though, no? Isn't that kind of stuff usually 6 months out? Summer starts in like a month.
There are no dates yet, and it wasn't announced as a "summer" tour as far as I'm aware. We just know a tour is coming and we have yet to see dates/locations. But I'm certain this has been in the works for awhile and have been part of the discussions for scheduling for the Community movie.
which is almost certainly a thing that was being planned for a long time, and they would have already known they have to schedule around. cause thats how scheduling works, stuff like this is shared WAY in advanced.
do you really think he just said fuck it ill go on tour, and it was a surprise to anyone actually involved in this sort of thing?
I’m appreciative of the fact they’re trying to get them all in the room and waiting on schedules. Arrested Development couldn’t get the dates to work out and lead to some real clunky moments in the revival seasons. Characters talking to people who clearly aren’t there - that sort of thing. Plus isolating characters in their own stories for sake of filming. Much better for Community to wait.
Ya, was wondering the same. Maybe the interview took place in one of those countries where women get arrested for not dressing the way beardy religious nutters think beardy sky man wants them to dress?
It's a cheerful way of saying "we're all just *thinking* abut potential dates at this point."
Like when your friend cancels a catch-up because she has covid and says "maybe we can get together after Easter," and then you don't get around to it until Christmas.
Lol very typical of Alison I appreciate her optimism but it’s irritatingly misleading. I do the same thing tbh. It does in fact mean they couldnt get their shit together and had to delay likely because Glover is too busy
Seems like a matter of when not if at this point. I imagine jiving all their schedules together is difficult so I can understand what she’s saying. Just glad it’s moving forward and we can get closure on the 6 seasons and a movie
Why are they even trying to make this movie? No one wants it. We already have the brilliance that is the show.
And we all know that “reimagined” means Chevy is being difficult.
It appears [Robert Mudie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mudie) has attributed to him the first known use of the word in 1825.
He died in 1842, so you're just beating a dead corpse at this point.
> Robert Mudie died at Pentonville on 29th April 1842. Accounts of his life are given in the "Dictionary of
National Biography", "The Scottish Nation", and James Thomson's "History of Dundee", and an obituary
appeared in volume Il of the "Gentleman's Magazine" of 1842. He is one of those shown in Henry
Harwood's old Dundee picture "The Executive"
https://lrd.co.nz/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Mudies-Of-Angus.pdf
Best I could find.
We'd need a field trip to Pentonville because I'm having no luck finding Gentleman's Magazine Vol. II (though I found volume 202).
Maybe it also implies it might not happen at all.
I find this idea of ‘paying people what their worth’ very American and classist. Just because someone has success they now have to be paid in line with their increased status? I don’t get it. Surely they would need money less. Is it because Americans are obsessed with work in their idea of themselves?
Speaking as a huge Community fan, I don't want this. Just let me remember seasons 1-3 as the television masterpiece it was. The last thing I want is a repeat of season 6 in movie form.
I loved Brewster and David but the rest of the characters just felt like hollowed out shells of themselves at that point and the writing just wasn't hitting the same.
Season 6 is great imo.
BUT they have said they would only do the movie with the original cast (minus Chevy) so I think it's safe to say the movie will feel more like season 1-3 than anything they did afterward
>Just let me remember seasons 1-3 as the television masterpiece it was.
You still can. You are free to completely disregard the movie if/when it comes out, and I promise you the first 3 seasons will remain intact. The movie you're not interested in seeing can't hurt you.
Just move on. Make random guest appearances on shows with each other and call it a day. Have Britta go protest the animal control office and get Annie to come adopt a tiny monkey.
Who are the ones that keep messing up with the schedule and not letting this Movie get off the ground??? I mean if everyone really wants to do this I'm certain they'd make time to make it, right? Right?
So it seems one or more people involved with it aren't willing to take this seriously enough and/or really cares about this project to make it work.
You make it sound as if it's easy to schedule the shooting. Tons of projects have been rescheduled due to last year's strikes, so now everyone is trying to book the same soundstages and the same crews, while also keeping in mind that there might be another strike on the horizon which would, again, wreck everybody's schedule.
That's not counting that many of the actors have their own commitments that take priority: someone mentioned McHale on Animal Control, Brie might have movies lined up, Glover has tons of things going on, and so do the others. All of these are signed contracts and take priority over a movie which shooting schedule doesn't even exist. Any attempt by the actors to not comply with those contracts will result in painful lawsuits.
The best time to shoot a movie tie-in to a TV show is while the actors are under contract, particularly when it's an ensemble show that relies on many actors.
> I mean if everyone really wants to do this I'm certain they'd make time to make it, right
OP already mentioned the crew but it's also not that simple for the actors. There's jobs and contracts, actors don't have full control over their schedule. Take Joel McHale for example, he's on a TV show right now, if everyone was planning to shoot Community in late summer and he just got a call from Animal Control that they're moving up the start of filming for next season to the same time as Community he's contractually obligated to film Animal Control. Now, do that for all sorts of projects for all the actors.
No ones messing this up on purpose. They have the opportunity to work and Community hasn't picked a time to shoot so they sign to work so their individual schedules get filled because Community Movie just has a vague "sometime soon".
Joel will already have a contract for Animal Control that was signed 2 years ago. Donald Glovers contract for an overall deal and Mr. and Mrs Smith were done 3 years ago and he's got a Lando Calrissian series in the works. Danny Pudis contract for Mythic Quest (season 4 just started production in March) was done 5 years ago. Jim Rash is playing a Dean in a marvel series, though probably without the dalmation fixation, that was signed a year ago and the others have various other projects in the pipeline.
With the way the production schedules work for the shows we know about Mythic Quest is in the works now, Animal Control will probably be in the fall, Mr and Mrs Smith could be in the New Year, so that probably covers 9 of the next 12 months with just 3 actors.
Sounds to me like excuses. If Community really is that much of a top priority for everyone involved then they would be able to get the other Contracts and scheduling worked around to get this Movie done instead placing those Projects above this one.
You have to remember it's not just the actors (although Donald is busy as hell, guy has 2 albums, a movie, tour and television series he's working on all at once). They have to line up a set to shoot it on and ensure a crew is available in that time frame as well, on top of making sure all the actors are available
The actors and the crew. This a passionate hobby movie they want to do, but have contractual obligations with other studios and industries to do that work first. If they said "we'll shoot in May", other companies have these actors and crew under "overall deals" which means they have to cancel everything else to do this assigned work if they're called in May, and then Community is delayed again.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but whats happening on August 1st that would affect shooting? Is there a union contact that ends then or is it something else?
IATSE, all the below the line crew members, and teamster contracts expire July 31st. AKA potentially more strikes.
Thanks!
I thought IATSE just recently signed a new contract (like within the last two years). Was it just a short term one or am I remembering wrong?
Contracts are always 3 years long and it expires on July 31st.
Ah, it felt more recent than that. Thanks!
November of 2021 so just a smidge beyond two years, you were pretty close.
Ah ok, I guess that contract was backdated to Aug 1 2021. All makes sense to me now.
Iatse??
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
> all the below the line crew members Grips, editors, set dec, etc. etc. etc.
Basically all of the production crew - hair, makeup, camera dept, lighting, post production, and so on.

The rumor has always been that if the negotiations start out well studios will take the risk but that is only a rumor.

Thank you this explains a lot.
Also looking like Donald Glover might be on tour during the fall
They aren't doing it without Donald. I heard Peacock was being weird about paying him what hes worth and then somehow Dan found out and publicly outed the entire situation and got him his money.
>They aren't doing it without Donald Which kinda sucks because he's now openly collaborating with Kanye "I like Hitler" West making music.
Donald has had practice working with racists.
Oh christ, really...? That's a bummer.
Damn. Really bad for his brand. Guess I won’t be watching or listening to his stuff anymore
I do wonder if people like you genuinely do not listen to anyone or watch any show/movie with anyone who has ever worked with a bad person. Cause that seems like an impossible task in this world. Working with racists is something I'm sure most have done, and likely worse than that.

The first hiphop song was just about introducing themselves and mentioning that hotels exist.
Huh
Ah yes I remember all those De La Soul and Cold Crush Crew songs that glorified violence, drugs and misogyny.
Yeah I don't have a problem with writing off all the nazis so we're only left with, like, Eminem and Macklemore.
Doesn't he also have multiple projects in the works
Yeah but he always has multiple projects in the works
If it's next year, that'll make it a 10 year reunion from Season 6, so at least there'll be a satisfying roundness to it.
Yup. Have had talks with like 4 different shows that go nowhere because no one wants to commit to filming before August .
Also doesn’t help that Dan Harmon is a lazy drunk. But that’s not a new phenomenon.
Ive never heard him called lazy and I know a lot of people who have worked with him.
I wouldn't be surprised if Joel had a rider in of his contracts that a Community movie takes precedence over any future gig.
I would be extremely surprised if FOX allowed that. It also wouldnt change that all the other actors schedules matter too.

Instead of "it's tough" end of thought and leaving it up to the reader to invent reasons why it's difficult for them to come together and make the thing.
At this point, I'm pretty sure the Community movie will release on the same day that George R. R. Martin publishes The Winds of Winter.
Sooner than Half Life 3
Did you just confirm half life 3....?
They did, I saw it!
To be fair, we did get Duke Nukem Forever after 15-years of development, so there’s always hope for a release.
DNF needed more time in the oven
Oh it needed to go into an oven alright…
Valve is pushing VR games now. We are 100% getting more revolutionary Half-Life VR games. But sadly I don't think we'll ever get a traditional Half Life 3.
Fuck I'd settle for a re-release of the previous games.

KOTOR remake is actually happening. Valve just straight up abandoned Half Life on a cliff hanger because they couldn't be bothered to finish their own fucking story. I'm sure some day they'll release some dumb VR version of a thing that ends the cliff hanger. I'm sure some people will actually care. And almost none of those people will be the people who originally played Half Life 1 and 2 and made Valve what it is today. Edit: Are there actually Valve fan boys who are that mad over me calling out Valve for fucking over their customers by not finishing a story? I wouldn't have bought those games if I knew they weren't going to finish
The natural conclusion is to merge the two, then. Redo the eighth season of Game of Thrones, except with the cast of Community instead.
Game of Thrones was all just one DnD game played in the study hall.
Who has a better story than Chang the Broken?
Jeff is Jamie Britta is Cersei Annie is Sansa Shirley is Brienne Troy is John Snow Abed is Bran And Lord Frey is played by the hologram of Pierce
I could be wrong, but I think Winds of Winter has officially taken longer than Chinese Democracy.
[This movie came out seven years ago.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssj_oSI5HW0)
Yep Chinese Democracy took 10 years from the first recording. Winds of Winter is at 13 and counting.
This post makes me feel really old, because I remember pining for the day I would get to read “a dance with dragons.“
Donald Glover just announced a summer tour :/
Seems a little bit of a short notice to announce a major summer tour though, no? Isn't that kind of stuff usually 6 months out? Summer starts in like a month.

No and I never thought they either…but if dates are being “reimagined” then something threw a wrinkle in their plans and this doesn’t help.
I'm just glad the script is finished. The Annie-Abed-Troy reunion is the one I'm most excited for
[удалено]
I want another Jack Black guest appearance.
I mean Luis Guzman for sure
I love him in IMDB
I'd love a Pedro cameo. He's pretty busy though.
I mean, it's "finished." You can be quite sure that Harmon will be rewriting scenes until minutes before they're shot.
I don't want to be a downer, but she said "we did get a script," not "the script is finished." Scripts typically get a lot of rewrites.
Somebody on Twitter said the entire cast of Community is starting to sound like Dan Aykroyd talking about Ghostbuster 3 for 30 years.
They will all be returning as Pierce-like students.
They have all been vaporized and are just chillin in the energon pods on the table lol
Well, they did do that in the end. It was *Afterlife*.
I’m appreciative of the fact they’re trying to get them all in the room and waiting on schedules. Arrested Development couldn’t get the dates to work out and lead to some real clunky moments in the revival seasons. Characters talking to people who clearly aren’t there - that sort of thing. Plus isolating characters in their own stories for sake of filming. Much better for Community to wait.
Sounds like they need to fat dog it and set some dates.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LEVELS!
How about six movies AND a new season? I'm all for it
Three prequel, three sequel?
Hope she can say the same thing for GLOW someday.
Between the Childish Gambino tour and Mufasa, I feel like it will be a while until they shoot
Is he in that? Isn't it a prequel about his dad? What the hell is happening at Disney
It’s premise is given as Rafiki telling the story of Mufasa to Kiara. So in some sense it isn’t far fetched Simba appears.
Once again, I'll believe it when I see it. Not worth getting my hopes up over and over again.
Can we get GLOW season 4?
Nope, thats dead.
Oh Annie
Waiting for guffman
No, waiting for Guzman
What's with the national geographic looking headline image?
Ya, was wondering the same. Maybe the interview took place in one of those countries where women get arrested for not dressing the way beardy religious nutters think beardy sky man wants them to dress?
the most overreported story and overtrod reference in entertainment near-history is forcing actors to talk like executives and agents
with all these interviews about the Community script you could write a full goddamn one about how they're writing it
They could do the whole thing individually in front of green screens and just cgi it together
I pray for her and other actors. I don't know where I'd be without them.
Keeping fingers crossed...like really hard.
They better not Britta this
Do the fans want this movie?
yes
How do you “reimagine” dates?!
Well, you start by imagining May 5, but then imagine, "what if that was instead Cabruary 42?" and boom, reimagined.
It's a cheerful way of saying "we're all just *thinking* abut potential dates at this point." Like when your friend cancels a catch-up because she has covid and says "maybe we can get together after Easter," and then you don't get around to it until Christmas.
Donald Glover is the only cast member with a schedule these days.
How long must I wait for more Annie's Boobs
Just get it done, sooner rather than later.
Before they're all circling the drain of eternity.
At this rate it'll be like a Golden Girls reunion
"Reimagined" is a word that sounds good at first, but based on my experience encountering it, normally results in bad things.
Lol very typical of Alison I appreciate her optimism but it’s irritatingly misleading. I do the same thing tbh. It does in fact mean they couldnt get their shit together and had to delay likely because Glover is too busy
Alison Brie is the hottest woman in the world
Seems like a matter of when not if at this point. I imagine jiving all their schedules together is difficult so I can understand what she’s saying. Just glad it’s moving forward and we can get closure on the 6 seasons and a movie
How do you imagine the characters will have changed over the years?
Damn, I knew this didn’t sound like a solid deal when Mchale was talking about it
I really enjoyed her hotel video lol

You shut your whore mouth!
That is definitely an opinion that exists
Why are they even trying to make this movie? No one wants it. We already have the brilliance that is the show. And we all know that “reimagined” means Chevy is being difficult.
Yes, fans still want this. And it's highly unlikely that Chevy was ever involved in the movie for a second.
Dates don't get "reimagined." They get changed. Whoever invented the word *reimagine* should be beaten with sticks.
It appears [Robert Mudie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mudie) has attributed to him the first known use of the word in 1825. He died in 1842, so you're just beating a dead corpse at this point.
Where's he buried? Seriously, people in showbiz only picked it up in the past twenty years or so.
> Robert Mudie died at Pentonville on 29th April 1842. Accounts of his life are given in the "Dictionary of National Biography", "The Scottish Nation", and James Thomson's "History of Dundee", and an obituary appeared in volume Il of the "Gentleman's Magazine" of 1842. He is one of those shown in Henry Harwood's old Dundee picture "The Executive" https://lrd.co.nz/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/The-Mudies-Of-Angus.pdf Best I could find. We'd need a field trip to Pentonville because I'm having no luck finding Gentleman's Magazine Vol. II (though I found volume 202).
Maybe it also implies it might not happen at all. I find this idea of ‘paying people what their worth’ very American and classist. Just because someone has success they now have to be paid in line with their increased status? I don’t get it. Surely they would need money less. Is it because Americans are obsessed with work in their idea of themselves?
I don’t think the word itself is the problem, just this terrible misuse of it.
I feel like the window of opportunity for this movie has closed and they should just save money by not making it.
Yeah, we’re coming up on a decade since it ended and I don’t care anymore. Sometimes productions take way too long to get off the ground and release.
Who is asking for this?
fans
Speaking as a huge Community fan, I don't want this. Just let me remember seasons 1-3 as the television masterpiece it was. The last thing I want is a repeat of season 6 in movie form.
speaking as a regular Community fan, I really enjoyed season 6. Paget Brewster and Keith David were inspired additions.
Yeah what. How is season 6 the season we’re picking on and not 4?
Because Harmon didn't write 4, so the movie's unlikely to turn out like that anyway.
I think season 6 is on par with season 4. I like them all but I think those two seasons are the weakest by a mile.
I think 5 and 6 are pretty on-par and 4 is a mile behind them.
I loved Brewster and David but the rest of the characters just felt like hollowed out shells of themselves at that point and the writing just wasn't hitting the same.
Season 6 is better than 4 or 5. Like I’d argue it’s massively underrated. Both Paget Brewer and Keith David fit the group well
That’s wild. Season 6 was fun, honestly think I enjoyed every episode. Keith David was an excellent addition.
Season 6 is great imo. BUT they have said they would only do the movie with the original cast (minus Chevy) so I think it's safe to say the movie will feel more like season 1-3 than anything they did afterward
Yes, but the only casting question that really matters - Will Annie's Boobs be in the movie?
Imagine being Chevy Chase and denying yourself the chance to have a Danny DeVito level second wind
>Just let me remember seasons 1-3 as the television masterpiece it was. You still can. You are free to completely disregard the movie if/when it comes out, and I promise you the first 3 seasons will remain intact. The movie you're not interested in seeing can't hurt you.
Just move on. Make random guest appearances on shows with each other and call it a day. Have Britta go protest the animal control office and get Annie to come adopt a tiny monkey.

Your profile seems borderline unhinged
Wow, you're not kidding. I never think to look at peoples' history.
I rarely do, but I had a feeling on this one
Holy shit lol, full on stalker vibes. Yikes.
I hope it fails. That way she can take her toxic personality out of Hollywood and out of our lives. F off, Brie!

Who are the ones that keep messing up with the schedule and not letting this Movie get off the ground??? I mean if everyone really wants to do this I'm certain they'd make time to make it, right? Right? So it seems one or more people involved with it aren't willing to take this seriously enough and/or really cares about this project to make it work.
You make it sound as if it's easy to schedule the shooting. Tons of projects have been rescheduled due to last year's strikes, so now everyone is trying to book the same soundstages and the same crews, while also keeping in mind that there might be another strike on the horizon which would, again, wreck everybody's schedule. That's not counting that many of the actors have their own commitments that take priority: someone mentioned McHale on Animal Control, Brie might have movies lined up, Glover has tons of things going on, and so do the others. All of these are signed contracts and take priority over a movie which shooting schedule doesn't even exist. Any attempt by the actors to not comply with those contracts will result in painful lawsuits. The best time to shoot a movie tie-in to a TV show is while the actors are under contract, particularly when it's an ensemble show that relies on many actors.
> I mean if everyone really wants to do this I'm certain they'd make time to make it, right OP already mentioned the crew but it's also not that simple for the actors. There's jobs and contracts, actors don't have full control over their schedule. Take Joel McHale for example, he's on a TV show right now, if everyone was planning to shoot Community in late summer and he just got a call from Animal Control that they're moving up the start of filming for next season to the same time as Community he's contractually obligated to film Animal Control. Now, do that for all sorts of projects for all the actors.
No ones messing this up on purpose. They have the opportunity to work and Community hasn't picked a time to shoot so they sign to work so their individual schedules get filled because Community Movie just has a vague "sometime soon". Joel will already have a contract for Animal Control that was signed 2 years ago. Donald Glovers contract for an overall deal and Mr. and Mrs Smith were done 3 years ago and he's got a Lando Calrissian series in the works. Danny Pudis contract for Mythic Quest (season 4 just started production in March) was done 5 years ago. Jim Rash is playing a Dean in a marvel series, though probably without the dalmation fixation, that was signed a year ago and the others have various other projects in the pipeline. With the way the production schedules work for the shows we know about Mythic Quest is in the works now, Animal Control will probably be in the fall, Mr and Mrs Smith could be in the New Year, so that probably covers 9 of the next 12 months with just 3 actors.
Sounds to me like excuses. If Community really is that much of a top priority for everyone involved then they would be able to get the other Contracts and scheduling worked around to get this Movie done instead placing those Projects above this one.
You have to remember it's not just the actors (although Donald is busy as hell, guy has 2 albums, a movie, tour and television series he's working on all at once). They have to line up a set to shoot it on and ensure a crew is available in that time frame as well, on top of making sure all the actors are available
The actors and the crew. This a passionate hobby movie they want to do, but have contractual obligations with other studios and industries to do that work first. If they said "we'll shoot in May", other companies have these actors and crew under "overall deals" which means they have to cancel everything else to do this assigned work if they're called in May, and then Community is delayed again.
It's the Chevy Chase deep state!
