The Big Picture It's been nine long years since Community went off the air, never fulfilling the second half of its promised "six seasons and a movie." That movie has been announced, but progress has been slow so far. But star Joel McHale, in a new interview with GQ, has a big update on the much-delayed project - it's fully-funded, and should shoot next year.
McHale says that while the movie hasn't shot yet, "It will be. And I don’t have a definitive update because we thought for a moment it was going to all happen this year, and then it didn’t. But we have the money, and that is a huge step. And hopefully, people still want to see it. And Peacock’s paying for it. And so I can’t wait to do it. I’ll say vaguely next year.
