Andy: “You taste like a burger. I don’t like you anymore.”
Will there be a sequel, nay prequel to the 2001 uber-silly, but nu-comedy classic, “Wet Hot American Summer” directed by David Wain?
There was talk of a musical version of the film in February via MTV.
But the guy’s at CHUD attended an recent L.A. screening of the film with writer and director Wain in attendance as presented by screenwriter Diablo Cody. Though they couldn’t strike pen to paper for quotes, they did note that Wain said he’s been toying with the idea of a prequel to the film.
They write about his “idea”:
“The prequel would be set earlier in that same summer, and part of the joke would be that the [original] cast who were ten years too old now be playing [the roles of young camp teenagers] would now be playing even younger versions of those same [characters], but this time be twenty years too old .”
They note that Wain very well might be kidding (which seems likely and makes this feel like a waste of time, however!…), however, a special edition “Wet Hot American Summer” DVD is being planned and it will feature, extra footage and could come packaged with the soundtrack, which was never officially released and featured tracks by now, retroactively christened yacht-rock classics by Jefferson Starship, Foreigner, Rick Springfield, Loggins & Messina, Loverboy and more.
Wain’s upcoming film for Universal Pictures, “Little Big Men” “Role Models” stars ‘American Summer’ alum Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks, plus Sean William Scott and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (aka McLovin). The comedy centers on two energy drink reps (Rudd and Scott) forced to enroll in a community service program where they mentor two young boys, is due later this year on November 14.
