American Pie is synonymous with raunchy comedy series. But, we'd have to admit that a new film would have a hard time finding an audience these days outside of the now-adults who'd like to sit back and reminisce about old times. However, this hasn't stopped Universal Pictures from picking up writer Sujata Day and her original pitch.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Insecure actress is offering a "fresh take" on the long-running comedy series.
It'll be interesting to see how Day's idea will differ from the plot of the original series, which many now consider as problematic. Even though sex comedies can still find an audience these days, it'd be an uphill battle for the new American Pie to reinvent the series that has already been established in pop culture.
The original American Pie is an iconic film that became somewhat of a rite of passage for anyone growing up through the 90s and 2000s. The 1999 film revolves around Jim and his friends as they seek to lose their virginity before their high school graduation. The film has since spawned three more mainline sequels as well as five spin-offs.
