I'm rewatching Season 1 and I like how many places Season 5 ties back into it. It sets up that Jeff watched standup comedy in the 90's (meowmeowbeenz) and, less of a stretch, Donald Glover gets this line: "Why am I crying? Will I accidentally listen to Come Sail Away by Styx again?"

Here's the full quote:quote:I don't know, let's see how our movie does! Isn't that our plan? There's no way we're not making the movie now! I think once we make the movie, let's look up and decide how much more Community the world wants. We promised six seasons and a movie, how much more do you want?! [Laughs.] … I'd be lying if I told you that we have not had some very early and preliminary conversations that are very exciting about what a potential movie could be and who might direct it. It's early but it's completely in our thought process. I remember "very early and preliminary conversations" about a Party Down movie back in the day, and that's pretty much in the ground now. It's a loooooong way from here to an actual movie being made,

I can't find the quote, but Dan Harmon said that there will be a movie, even if he has to do it with cardboard and tape in his basement.

Considering a road doc about the creator of community going around the country playing d and d with a whose line alum is seeing limited release, and a movie sequel to a 3-season detective series on the WB saw wide release I really don't think a movie sequel to community being wide release is out of the question

Found the quote. It was from an interview at Hitfix before they got fake-canceled, so it is in no way definitive. But if he and Joel want it made bad enough, it would probably happen. (link: http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/mega-community-interview-with-dan-harmon-part-2/single-page)Dan Harmon posted:The movie part is the movie part. I mean, if they do a sixth season, I have to participate. And having done that, if the movie has to be made out of clay and duct tape in my basement, then that’s how the movie will be made, because there has to be closure. The title of the book about the show is not “’Community,’ An Interesting Journey into a Show No One Ever Watched.” The title of the book is obviously going to be, “Six Seasons and a Movie.” So it’s already over. Sometimes our hands are just tied up in fate.

Sony is a multi-billion dollar corporation and Harmon is a multi-millionaire. They shouldn't be asking a bunch of kids and underemployed adults to fund their lovely passion projects.

I'm sure all of us (well, most of us) would rather see no movie at all than a thrown-together piece of crap that was only made in service to a Twitter hashtag.

e: yeah this ^^^^^^ I remember for one of the earlier theme episodes (S2 Hallowween IIRC) he shelled out like $35k or something for the custom intro because the studio wouldn't. Or maybe it was to license the Abba music? Either way, non-millionaires don't, or at least shouldn't, do that.

I'd believe the producer was being sarcastic, but Harmon means it. At least, he did a few months ago when he said that and season 6 was an uncertainty.

E PLURIBUS ANUS posted:a movie sequel to a 3-season detective series on the WB saw wide release Veronica Mars opened in 347 theaters: http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=veronicamars.htm That's NOT a wide release. For comparison, Serenity was probably the last time they did a direct cult TV-show to movie wide release, and that was 2,189 theaters, and it bombed. If you count the X-Files 2008 movie, that was over 3,000 theaters, but that wasn't a cult show. It also was a bomb domestically. The latest transformers was released in over 4,000 theaters. That's a WIDE release. So far Harmontown hasn't even seen a release yet - every screening has been a festival/preview screening. It won't get a wide release anyway.

He's been a showrunner for 4 seasons which is a high paying job, and he also earns backend gross from the show, even during its 4th season because he was the creator. Any bit of syndication money, part of it goes right to him. Gross, not net. He's got money.

Ugh, shut the gently caress with your typical choices of adjectives. We get it, you don't like Community anymore. As for content, I'd throw 20 bucks or so Dan Harmon's way if it helped the movie get made and got me a copy of it.

He came to Hollywood because Scud was optioned from Him and Rob Schrab, then they got Heat Vision and Jack made and went from poor Milwaukee residents to sort of successful new Hollywood wunderkinds. Then it all fell apart and he wasted it all and was (Hollywood) poor for years. I think their biggest deal before The Sarah Silverman Program got off the ground was selling the first script for Monster House. So I'm sure he's better equipped to handle the money now.

One thing that I think will really help the sixth season: No 21.5-minute time restraints. It's a drag on ambitious shows anyway, and 3 or 4 minutes more could have made the rear end crack bandit episode into the next law and order, or further clarify the (gently caress you, already great) meow meow beanz episode. Another thing networks have yet to learn from cable. No one worth tracking (who will spend money on ads) appointment views anymore, and DVRs are common. Changing the runtime of a few things occasionally, in which they might go over-schedule, won't kill your business. Everyone's receiver can handle these things anyway.

It seems like there are some shows where they have special extended episodes. I know Parks and Rec had a few, and then of course they also have the online only "Director's Cut" version. I also remember the Office had a bunch of episodes that ran 28 minutes or something like that. 30 Rock too. Maybe it was only NBC that tried it.
