Community star Joe McHale was reduced to tears by the upcoming film script.
During an interview with The Wrap, McHale revealed that he “cried like a baby” during the Community film’s first table read.
“You know that I’m sarcastic about literally f***ing everything but there will be tears,” he said. “We did that table read during the pandemic and I cried like a baby afterwards and I’m not joking.”
After years of rumors and speculation, it was announced last month that Community is finally getting a movie.
Of course, it’s been on the cards for some time. Creator Dan Harmon has been saying that the film “will happen” since 2016, with regular updates suggesting the film is on its way over the years. Most recently, Harmon revealed that he pitched a Community movie back in August… and it looks as though Peacock finally took him up on the idea.
“We announced it. Peacock is paying for it,” said McHale. “Thank you, Peacock. So yeah, it’s happening and everybody’s back.”
Much of the original cast will be returning for the movie with McHale himself, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeon.
“Everyone thinks that what I say is joking, but it is like being with — it really is like a family reunion but without a-holes,” he continued. Notably, Chevy Chase won’t be back following his character’s death in the Season 5 episode, “Basic Intergluteal Numismatics”.
“Because you know, you go to a family you, and you’re like, ‘Ugh, there’s that one cousin of mine. He smells,’” said McHale. “So anyway, we’re really — I can’t wait. Yeah, that’s all I can say.”
Community creator Dan Harmon is writing the movie and is also on board as executive producer, but no director has been locked in as yet. McHale, Andrew Guest, Russ Krasnoff, and Gary Foster are also on board as executive producers.
