The Community Movie Won't Include 2 Fan-Favorite Show Details

Just a few months after the project was confirmed, Dan Harmon has revealed that the Community movie won't include two fan-favorite show details. Community gained a cult following thanks to its meta-humor, pop culture references, and homages to classic film and TV tropes during its six-season run on NBC and Yahoo! Screen from 2009 to 2015. The series was nearly canceled more than once, only to be saved by several fan campaigns to keep the show afloat.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Six Seasons & A Podcast, Harmon, who was the main creative force behind the show and also served as the Community showrunner during seasons 1-3 and seasons 5-6, divulged which fan favorite genre homages from the show will not be part of Community: The Movie's plot.

For instance, we go, ‘Do we really think it’d be a good idea to be a paintball episode?’ It’s one of the first things to rule out because it’s the first thing off the top of your head, and that’s an issue with the ‘Community’ movie concept. We did a lot of episodes where you are joyfully locked into a construct that isn’t a traditional sitcom narrative, but is rather through the lens of David Fincher or Martin Scorsese. There were a lot of special episodes that were kind of like genre homages.

Also returning will be Ken Jeong as unpredictable former Spanish professor Ben Chang and Jim Rash as the costume-loving Dean Craig Pelton. Keith David, who portrayed the intelligent and reclusive Elroy Patashnik in season 6, the show's final season, has also said that when Community: The Movie happens, he'll be involved.

While Donald Glover hasn't been confirmed to return as Troy Barnes, Harmon has said that the rapper/actor is "down to clown" and that he could not imagine doing the movie without Glover, which is a very encouraging update for his potential return to the study group. Harmon is currently in the process of writing the script, which he has assured fans will not include any reboot clichés or a story revolving around the closing down and reopening of Greendale Community College.
