BIGGS HINTS AT ANOTHER PIE (OCTOBER 15TH 2005)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JASON BIGGS HAS HINTED THE AMERICAN PIE STARS MAY REUNITE FOR ANOTHER MOVIE BUT NOT FOR A FEW YEARS. THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED JIM LEVENSTEIN IN THE AMERICAN PIE TRILOGY HAS REVEALED THE PRODUCERS HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF AN AMERICAN BABY. BIGGS TOLD EMPIRE MAGAZINE,  "It (another installment) didn't happen. Which is right because it would have been too soon. I think it'd be fun to see how those characters had matured ten years down the line, a kind of 'Big Chill for our generation' kind of thing."

STIFLER IS DEAD SAYS SEANN W.SCOTT (JULY 31ST 2005)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT HAS VIRTUALLY RULED OUT EVER REPRISING HIS ROLE AS STEVE STIFLER, DESPITE RUMOURS THAT HE WOULD HAVE A CAMEO ROLE IN THE UPCOMING AMERICAN PIE:BAND CAMP. SEANN PLAYED THE OBNOXIOUS BUT POPULAR CHARACTER IN ALL THREE AMERICAN PIE MOVIES BUT IT SEEMS DESPITE HIS SUCCESS AS HIS ALTER EGO, HE'S HAD ENOUGH. 

SEANN TOLD LOADED MAGAZINE: "I wake up with nightmares where I'm like, 'Oh my God! I'm doing another American Pie again.'

"People always ask me to do the dance that I did in the American Pie movies as Stifler. They say, 'Hey rock out with your c**k out!' And I'm like, 'OK!'
 
"But then I realise it is a compliment."

AMERICAN PIE BAND CAMP FOR REAL? (DECEMBER 21ST 2004)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FOUR MONTHS AGO WE REPORTED ON THE RUMOURS OF A POSSIBLE AMERICAN PIE 4 FOLLOWING MATT STIFLER AT BAND CAMP. THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE HAVE NOW JUMPED ON BOARD AND LISTED THIS MOVIE ON THEIR SITE. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436058/ IT'S LISTED AS AMERICAN PIE:BAND CAMP AND NOT PIE 4 AS WAS FIRST REPORTED. WHAT'S STRANGE IS THAT THEY HAVE LISTED SEANN W.SCOTT, EDDIE KAYE THOMAS, JENNIFER COOLIDGE AND CHRIS OWEN AS APPEARING IN THIS MOVIE. EUGENE LEVY HAS ALSO BEEN RUMOURED TO HAVE SAID HE WOULD BE WILLING TO MAKE A CAMEO IN THIS FILM. IT'S WORTH NOTING THOUGH THAT NOTHING OFFICIAL HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED, WELL CERTAINLY NOT FROM UNIVERSAL! WE'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF ANY DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE COMING MONTHS.

AMERICAN PIE 4 MEETS MATT STIFLER (AUGUST 27TH 2004)

ACCORDING TO CINESCAPE ALL THE ORIGINAL CAST HAVE MOVED ON AND WILL NOT APPEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PAUL FINCH IN A CAMEO ROLE. CASTING IS REPORTEDLY TAKING PLACE NOW WITH A VIEW TO COMMENCING FILMING NEXT MONTH.

AMERICAN WEDDING R1 DVD SITE REVIEW (JANUARY 2ND 2004)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK SO HERE'S THE SITE REVIEW OF THE AMERICAN WEDDING  REGION 1 DVD. THIS IS THE EXTENDED PARTY EDITION DOUBLE DVD GIFT SET. FOR YOUR MONEY YOU GET TWO DISCS, THE FIRST IS THE AMERICAN WEDDING DVD WITH ALL THE EXTRAS AND THE SECOND IS THE AMERICAN PIE REVEALED DVD. OH AND YOU ALSO GET A GREAT RED AMERICAN WEDDING STIFLER T-SHIRT BUNDLED IN THE PACK. I GOT A LARGE SIZE WHICH FITS EASILY. PRETTY SOON YOU'LL ALL BE WEARING THE QUOTE 'IT'S TIME FOR ME TO BOOM-BOOM WITH THE BRIDESMAIDS' ON THE BACK! SO ONTO THE DVDS. THE AMERICAN WEDDING DVD COMES WITH TWO VERSIONS OF THE FILM. THE RATED VERSION THAT WAS SHOWN IN THEATRES AND THE UNRATED VERSION WITH AROUND 7 MINUTES OF EXTRA FOOTAGE. THIS CONSISTS MAINLY OF EXTENDED BACHELOR PARTY ACTION AND EXTENSIONS OF VARIOUS SCENES IE MORE STIFLER. THERE IS A GREAT SCENE IN THE HOTEL WITH A FINCH AND STIFLER ROLE REVERSAL THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE MOVIE. FOR THAT IT'S WORTH WATCHING. AS USUAL YOU GET A PLETHORA OF DVD EXTRAS: I'LL START WITH THE DELETED SCENES, THESE WERE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO BE HONEST. I WAS EXPECTING THE CUT SUB PLOT OF KEVIN'S NEW GIRLFRIEND(MINKA KELLY) AND ALSO THE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OZ AND CO WEREN'T AROUND EVEN FOR THE WEDDING BUT THESE SCENES WERE ABSENT WITHOUT MENTION. I KNOW SCENES WERE SHOT WITH PATRICK GALLO AND HANS HERNKE WHO DID INTERVIEWS FOR MY SITE EARLIER IN THE YEAR, BUT THESE WERE ALSO GIVEN A NON APPEARANCE. INSTEAD WE GOT 12 SCENES TOTALLING 22 MINUTES, MOST OF WHICH WERE POINTLESS ADDITIONS REALLY. THERE IS ONE SCENE NEAR THE END OF STIFLER WITH A BLOW UP DOLL THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO REACH FOR THE STOP BUTTON, WHY THIS WAS INCLUDED I'LL NEVER KNOW. ON A BRIGHTER NOTE WE GET TO SEE CADENCE IN A BIKINI WHILST STIFLER AND FINCH TRY TO IMPRESS HER POOLSIDE, AND MICHELLE EXPLAINING TO HER PARENTS WHY JIM DECIDED TO SHAVE HIS PUBES. THERE IS ALSO A HEAD TABLE SCENE WHERE STIFLER PRAISES JIM FOR MARRYING MICHELLE AND CALLS HER A HOTTIE. NEXT WE HAVE 6 MINUTES OF OUTTAKES, THESE BASICALLY SHOW THE CAST MAKING MISTAKES AND LAUGHING. THE 'STIFLER SPEAK' FEATURETTE LASTS 7 MINUTES AND EXPLORES THE STIFLER CHARACTER AND FEATURES INTERVIEWS WITH SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT AND SOME OF THE CAST. WE FIND OUT SEANN USUALLY FILMS SEVERAL VARIATIONS OF THE SCENES AND NORMALLY IMPROVISES MOST OF HIS LINES. KEEPING IN LINE WITH THE BACHELOR PARTY THEME THERE IS A 10 MINUTES BEHIND THE SCENES PRESENTATION OF IT FEATURING INTERVIEWS WITH THE STARS. YOU GET TO SEE THE FUN THE CAST GOT UP TO FILMING WITH THE DOGS AND SEX TOYS. THE CHEESY WEDDING FILM ONLY LASTS 3 MINUTES BUT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO INCLUDE IT ON THE DVD. IT SHOWS JIM AND MICHELLE'S WEDDING SHOT FROM A HOME VIDEO POINT OF VIEW. THE HAUNTING WEDDING MUSIC IS PLAYED THROUGHOUT AS WELL. IN A PLOY TO BOOST HER CAREER NIKKI ZIERING HAS MANAGED TO SECURE A 10 MINUTE FEATURETTE WHICH GOES THROUGH HER DAY LEADING UP TO THE AMERICAN WEDDING PREMIERE, ENTITLED NIKKI'S HOLLYWOOD JOURNAL. THERE ARE ALSO TWO FEATURE COMMENTARIES WHICH SHOW THE FILM IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. THE FIRST HAS SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT AND DIRECTOR JESSE DYLAN. THE SECOND FEATURES JASON BIGGS, ALYSON HANNIGAN, EDDIE KAYE THOMAS AND THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS. THEY ALL HAVE A LAUGH AND THOMAS SEEMS OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT THAT A LOT OF HIS SCENES NEVER MADE THE FINAL CUT. HE CLAIMS IT'S THE FIRST TIME HE'S ACTUALLY SEEN THE MOVIE. AND FINALLY WE HAVE THE AMERICAN PIE REVEALED DVD. ADAM HERZ HAS LIVED UP TO HIS PROMISE WHEN HE SAID THE FEATURE WOULD BE OVER 3 HOURS IN LENGTH. IT IS IN FACT 3 HOURS 18 MINUTES LONG BUT BEAR IN MIND THAT SOME OF THIS FOOTAGE WAS ORIGINALLY INCLUDED ON THE BENEATH THE CRUSTS DVDS THAT WERE RELEASED LAST YEAR. BASICALLY YOU GET ALL OF THE BENEATH THE CRUST AND MORE! YES YOU CAN SEE THE LOST STORYLINES OF PIE 2 SUCH AS OZ AND HEATHER CHEATING ON EACH OTHER AND CHRIS PENN'S SCENES AS STIFLER'S DAD. IT'S ALSO NICE TO SEE INTERVIEWS FROM AMERICAN PIE 1 & 2 STARS WHO DIDN'T COME BACK FOR THE THIRD INSTALLMENT, TALKING ENTHUSIASTICALLY ABOUT THE COMEDY TRILOGY. CHRIS KLEIN, MENA SUVARI, TARA REID AND NATASHA LYONNE ALL TALK ABOUT THEIR FOND MEMORIES OF THE SERIES. IN FACT CHRIS KLEIN EVEN MEETS UP WITH THE AMERICAN WEDDING CAST FOR DINNER, WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION WHY HE WASN'T IN THE THIRD MOVIE AT LEAST IN A CAMEO ROLE. WE FIND OUT THE REASON FOR THIS IN THE FAQ SECTION WHERE ADAM HERZ ANSWERS THE TEN MOST POPULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE THREE PIE FILMS. I WON'T SPOIL THEM FOR YOU BUT YOU DO GET TO SEE A NICE OUTTAKE/DELETED SCENE MENTIONING OZ BEING IN SPAIN. THE OTHER QUESTIONS MAINLY RELATE TO AMERICAN PIE 1 & 2. THIS DVD IS A GREAT ADDITION FOR AVID AMERICAN PIE FANS. IF I HAVE ONE GRIPE IT'S NOT EASY TO EXPLORE. THEY HAVE TRIED TO DO IT AS CHAPTERS AND SUB CHAPTERS AND IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. EVEN IF YOU CHOOSE THE PLAY ALL OPTION IT SOMETIMES PLAYS THEM OUT OF SYNC AND YOU FIND YOURSELF JUMPING FROM ONE SCENE TO ONE YOU'VE ALREADY WATCHED. SO THERE IT IS. ALTHOUGH CERTAIN PARTS ARE DISAPPOINTING FOR THE MONEY IT'S STILL WORTH IT, YOU GET TWO DVDS, TWO CUTS OF THE FILM, EXTRAS, AMERICAN PIE REVELAED AND A SUPERB AMERICAN WEDDING/STIFLER T SHIRT. 7/10

THOMAS SAYS NO TO PIE 4 WITHOUT HERZ (SEPTEMBER 18TH 2003)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDDIE KAYE THOMAS HAS CAST FURTHER DOUBTS OVER THE POSSIBILITY OF A FOURTH AMERICAN PIE MOVIE. WHILST NOT TOTALLY RULING HIMSELF OUT OF REPRISING HIS ROLE AS FINCH ONE MORE TIME, HE SAYS HE WOULD ONLY DO IT IF ADAM HERZ RETURNED TO WRITE THE SCRIPT.
IN AN ARTICLE THAT CAN BE FOUND ON http://www.lindzi.com/special/eddie/ 

EDDIE HAD THIS TO SAY:

"Adam Herz has been quoted as saying he wouldn't want to write another one. I wouldn't do it unless he wrote it. I think this will be the last one. I'd be very surprised if there was another one. Adam has had such original ideas for all three of them. I've been surprised every time. Before I got the third one, I thought, 'What the hell are we going to do this time?' I think three is a completion."


WEBSITE UPDATE (SEPTEMBER 10TH 2003)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN A DISTINCT LACK OF NEWS RECENTLY. THIS IS BECAUSE AMERICAN WEDDING HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED AND THE DVD IS NOT OUT FOR ANOTHER 4 MONTHS. THERE ISN'T MUCH TO REPORT ON. IN FACT THE ONLY NEWS I HAVE TO REPORT AT PRESENT IS THE BOX OFFICE FIGURES FOR AMERICAN PIE 3. IN AMERICA THE MOVIE HAS SO FAR MADE 101 MILLION US DOLLARS, AND HERE IN THE UK IT HAS EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS BY SO FAR TURNING IN AN IMPRESSIVE 14.3 MILLION POUNDS.
SO RATHER THAN LET THE SITE GO STALE I HAVE DECIDED TO REVAMP IT A BIT. I AM THINKING OF CHANGING IT TO FOCUS MORE ON ALL THREE PIE FILMS AND CONSIDERING ADDING ACTOR PROFILES ETC. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS ABOUT WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE HERE PLEASE EMAIL ME mailto:cjm24@btinternet.com

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THOUGH I AM LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN DO WITH BASIC NON HTML WEB HOSTING. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ANY IDEAS THOUGH. THANKS.

ADAM HERZ 'THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER PIE' (AUGUST 30TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANOTHER INTERVIEW WITH ADAM HERZ HAS APPEARED ONLINE AT FILM FORCE. IN AN INTERESTING ARTICLE HERZ TELLS US SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT THE AMERICAN PIE TEAM HANKERED WITH FOR AMERICAN WEDDING. IT MAKES INTERESTING READING. BUT PIE FANS HOPING FOR A THIRD SEQUEL WILL BE DISAPPOINTRED AS HERZ SAYS THERE IS NOWHERE LEFT TO GO WITH THE STORY:

The poster for the movie(American Wedding) reads: "The thrilling climax of the American Pie saga." Is it really over? "There won't be another one. Simply because I don't have any stories left to tell about these guys... When you do any story, you want some characters to take an emotional journey... And look, with American Wedding, when Stifler has learned something, there's nobody left to learn... I can't do it. That would bother me, if they did another movie. We could certainly set a TV show, East Great Falls High. Kind of the next generation sort of thing. You know... worked for Star Trek."

SITE REVIEW OF AMERICAN PIE:THE WEDDING (AUGUST 12TH 2003)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally got to see American Pie:The Wedding at an advance showing on Sunday evening. It's taken me a few days to gather my thoughts and here we are.
The third installment of the Pie series opens with Jim trying to propose to Michelle in a restaurant. As we know things never go smoothly for Jim and in no time Michelle has got the wrong end of the stick and she's under the table pleasuring him. More mayhem ensures when Jim's Dad turns up with the forgotten engagement ring.
Cue more mayhem and the titles and we're on the road to American Wedding.
Things have moved on a bit since we last saw the gang in American Pie 2. All have graduated from college and we're now watching them grow into young adults.
Jim has remained friends with Kevin and Finch during his three years of being with Michelle and Stifler is still around being his usual pain in the arse. But gone are Oz(Chris Klein), Nadia(Shannon Elizabeth), Vicky(Tara Reid), Jessica(Natasha Lyonne) and Heather(Mena Suvari). It seems they have just drifted away without explanation because even Oz supposedly one of Jim's best friends is absent without reason. In fact only Nadia is mentioned during the entire movie and even then it's not explained where she is these days. Despite the missing characters the film moves on and you find yourself forgetting who they were. Because there are less characters to focus on it made it easier for a funnier script involving several major characters as opposed to trying to fit everyone in to the action. And this film is funny! I had my doubts about it but in some respects there are as many laughs as the previous two flicks if not more. The audience in the cinema was in stitches on several occasions. It is constant gag after gag for the first part of the film. There are some hilarious altercations between Stifler and Finch. I won't give too much away but look out for an interesting role reversal between Stifler and Finch as they compete for the affections of Michelle's hot younger sister Cadence and Stifler in a brilliant dance off competition in a gay bar. We're introduced to Cadence as she flies in for her big sister's imminent wedding and we also get to meet new characters such as Michelle's parents Harold and Mary Flaherty(Fred Willard and Deborah Rush) and an interesting character called Bear played by the brilliant Eric Allan Kramer. There is also new female eye candy for the guys at the bachelor party. Stifler and Bear arrange for two very interesting strippers called Officer Krystal and Fraulein Brandi to entertain the boys. Both cause mayhem when Jim returns home unexpectedly with his future in laws. For once though Jim is not the only main star of the show, in fact he actually takes a step back in this one and Stifler is the centre of most of the laughs. Seann W. Scott is excellent at playing Stifler, it seems to come so easy to him but at times in this movie it seemed he was a bit over the top, and that he had to swear constantly to make people laugh. He still manages to get into all kind of mishaps even almost ruining Jim and Michelle's wedding but redeems himself somehow. Despite rumours that only Stifler and Cadence would feature heavily on screen this is not true, Jim and Michelle feature constantly and Finch has a larger role than expected. It's the character of Kevin that seems to have been drastically down sized. Although he is featured in the background of various scenes he has hardly any lines in this movie, and you tend to forget he is even there. Thomas Ian Nicholas was chuffed to be in the third Pie installment but he must have been disappointed with the way his role was reduced. His new girlfriend who he mentions and we get to see very briefly sitting at the wedding table also had her scenes edited out. I guess the producers are saving some deleted scenes for the dvd expected at the end of the year.
Well I know they must be because the returning Lacrosse and Football coach from the first American Pie(played by Lawrence Pressman) also appears without any lines.
The film also has it's tender moments with a touching scene between Jim's Dad and Michelle, and Stifler finally realising the error of his ways.
Although the film has near enough the same running times as it's predecessors it seems we get to the wedding too quickly, whether this is because I enjoyed the film too much or because I knew how much footage was missing I'm not sure. I'll go with the former because although half the original cast was absent and it was a second sequel, it still stands up as a decent comedy in it's own right. There will be calls for American Pie 4(a la American Baby or American Honeymoon) but I think they should leave it here. Adam Herz has pulled off a third movie without half of it's so called stars and turned in a really funny script and the ending to the movie is possibly the best way of wrapping the series up. At the end of Pie 2 I doubted how they could possibly do a third and I feel that way again now. As big a Pie fan as I am and as much as I want to see the story go on, it's a good way to go out on. Go and see American Wedding and enjoy these characters one more time you are guaranteed a good laugh. 8/10

CRAIG PERRY TALKS ABOUT AMERICAN WEDDING (JULY 29TH 2003)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCER CRAIG PERRY TALKS ABOUT AMERICAN WEDDING AND THE PIE TRILOGY AS A WHOLE, IN AN INTERVIEW ON COMING SOON.NET HE SAYS THAT AMERICAN WEDDING IS THE END TO THE PIE SERIES AND HERE'S AN EXTRACT FROM THAT EXCLUSIVE:
"Since sequels have been underperforming this summer, are you worried for American Wedding?

You know, I was worried when I saw some of the sequels underperforming. I'm very glad that we decided to call it 'American Wedding' because I think it helps distinguish it from all the roman numeral movies that have been out there. And I do think it does reflect what the movie's about. It's not just another summer regurgitation. It is truly that last rite of passage. Getting married is something that you do when you become an adult. I think that's one of the things that makes this movie different from the other sequels. It feels more like a continuing story and not just another chapter. It's an evolution that I think people respond to.

How did director Jesse Dylan make the film look different than the previous two?

One of the things that Jesse brought to the table is a visual sense of style that was great. It made it feel more lush. It made it feel bigger. It made it feel like a final part, the last part of these movies. So we're going out in a much bigger, grander way because it's the end. It's literally THE END, so we're really happy to have him come on board and deliver that for the movie."

CAST UPDATE AND PRODUCTION NOTES REVEALED (JULY 21ST 2003)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE HAS FOR SOME STRANGE REASON REMOVED A LOT OF THE SMALLER CHARACTERS FROM THE AMERICAN WEDDING CAST LIST. WE KNOW THAT SOME OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE DEFINITELY IN THE MOVIE SO WHY THEY HAVE DONE THIS IS NOT CLEAR. THEY HAVE HOWEVER ADDED A FEW NEW CHARACTERS TO THE LIST. PRODUCER CHRIS BENDER MAKES AN CAMEO APPEARANCE AS A SCARED GUY IN A BATHROOM, SHOULD BE INTERESTING.
ALSO THE AMERICAN WEDDING PRODUCTION NOTES HAVE BEEN RELEASED TO COINCIDE WITH THE FILM'S RELEASE WHICH IS NOW LESS THAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AWAY. THESE NOTES ARE CREDITED TO ANGELA AT http://www.music247online.com
THEY READ AS FOLLOWS:
"It was bound to happen, sooner or later.
The raucous and lovable characters from the wildly successful American Pie and American Pie 2 have gone and done it, well, they're planning on doing it. Really soon. In front of everyone they know. In a big way. Jim (JASON BIGGS) and Michelle (ALYSON HANNIGAN) are getting married.
With East Great Falls High, foreign exchange students, band camp, crazy glue and summer college vacations now a thing of the past, Jim and Michelle's friends and family are ready to help usher the couple down the aisle and over the threshold into adulthood.
Michelle wants the wedding to be perfect. Not exactly an easy task, even with everyone on their best behavior and getting along which probably isn't going to happen.
Michelle's knock-out sister, Cadence (JANUARY JONES), has flown in to help out her sis as Maid of Honor. And once Stifler (SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT) and Finch (EDDIE KAYE THOMAS) catch sight of Cadence the war to woo is on. With all rules out the window, Stifler turns on his charismatic charm to nab the babe.
Stifler? Charismatic charm?
Cautioned to tone it down by a nervous Jim who already has his hands full trying to impress Michelle's somewhat stuffy parents, Harold and Mary (FRED WILLARD and DEBORAH RUSH) Stifler abandons his customary plan of attack and becomes the charming would-be boyfriend of every nice girl's dreams which leaves Finch with no choice but to play the bad boy, with Cadence torn between perfect gentleman Stifler and that low-life Finch.
It's good for Jim that some things don't change, as Jim's Dad (EUGENE LEVY) is an ever-present constant, dispensing well-meaning (but sometimes clueless) advice to his son and future daughter-in-law, occasionally crossing the line into the land of too much information concerning him and Jim's Mom (MOLLY CHEEK).
Welcome now to the thrilling climax of the American Pie saga. Whom God would join, ! let no hilarious and irreverent situation put asunder.
Forever hold your piece.
Recognizing themselves in the then high school seniors adventures, moviegoers fell in love with the East Great Falls High gang of American Pie and stayed with them as they continued to grow up, heading to college and other new frontiers. Now Jim, Michelle and the gang return, still strongly linked by their on-going friendships a little more mature and ready to leap into their adult lives.
Like the characters it so wonderfully captured, the American Pie franchise began as a break-out teen comedy hit a winning combination of raucous humor and heart and now grows up with American Pie: The Wedding, stepping up as a worthy entry in the tradition of great wedding comedies."


THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS INTERVIEW ABOUT PIE 3 (JULY 17TH 2003)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS INTERVIEW HAS APPEARED ONLINE AT THE ROMANTIC MOVIES WEBSITE. THERE THOMAS TALKS ABOUT HIS ROLE AS KEVIN IN AMERICAN WEDDING. HE SEEMS TO ALL BUT CONFIRM THAT AS REPORTED HIS ROLE HAS BEEN MARGINALISED. YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE FULL INTERVIEW AT http://romanticmovies.about.com/cs/americanwedding/a/thomianamwed.htm
BUT MEANWHILE HERE'S A BRIEF PART OF IT FOR YOU TO SAVOUR ;o)

Do you have a new love interest?

Yes. Finally, my character has moved on. He is not pining for his long-term ex-girlfriend. [My character Kevin and his new girlfriend] kind of get into it and Stifler gets a little jealous because she's hot. But, you know, that was in my contract.

Tell us more about 'Kevin's' love interest.

There's not so much there as much as she's there, if that makes sense. I think it's her first gig, so I'm not sure that anyone's ever heard of her.

So what's her character?

It's just a girl. Seriously, it's just a hot girl that Kevin invites to the wedding that he's been dating for a few months, and Stifler doesn't believe that a girl that hot is with Kevin. That's pretty much the plot point of Kevin's new love interest.


FAVOURABLE REVIEW FROM JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM (JULY 16TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN A NEAR COMPLETED VERSION OF AMERICAN WEDDING. THEY HAVE GIVEN IT THE THUMBS UP, THOUGH SAY THE FILM CONCENTRATES MORE ON THE COMEDY ASPECT THAN THE ACTUAL PLOTS AND SUB PLOTS. THEY STATE THAT STIFLER GETS MORE SCREEN TIME THAN JIM AND MICHELLE AND IS IN EFFECT THE MAIN CHARACTER. ALSO THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS'S ROLE AS KEVIN HAS BEEN MARGINALIZED.
HERE'S THE FULL REVIEW:

"Caught a screening of AMERICAN WEDDING (aka AMERICAN PIE 3) in New York. We were warned ahead of time that we were looking at a workprint, but it was projected crystal clear in digital vide and it didn't seem like the final cut would be too different from what I saw, so here's a heads up on what to expect. AMERICAN WEDDING reunites most of the cast of the previous AMERICAN PIE movies. Gone are Chris Klein, Mena Suvari, Tara Reid, Natasha Lyonne, and Shannon Elizabeth. In all honesty, I didn't miss any of them, and neither did the movie. I don't know how many of them thought they're too good to be in AMERICAN WEDDING , but between ROLLERBALL, LOSER, not being able to get into clubs, getting thrown in jail for DWIs, and whatever it is Shannon Elizabeth does now, none of their careers can be described as red hot right now. In any case, AMERICAN WEDDING cruises along just fine without them.

It's no secret, given the title, trailers and the movie poster, that AMERICAN WEDDING is about the marriage of Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan - by the way, after four years of lesbian Willow on "Buffy," it's great to see Alyson Hannigan playing heterosexual again.) The big surprise however is that AMERICAN WEDDING isn't really about Jim and Michelle. I mean, yes, their wedding is built up to throughout the movie, and Jim has a subplot in which he tries to win the favour of Michelle's parents, but they're actually pushed aside a great deal of the time and share the stage of 'main character of this movie' with Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott).

Stifler is in many ways the real star of AMERICAN WEDDING . His role in the wedding and how his presence affects all of the other characters drives practically all of the action in the story. Stifler's prominence is reminicent of the classic "Simpsons" episode when Homer was the voice of Poochie - even when Poochie wasn't on screen, everyone asked "Where's Poochie?" So it is with Stifler. Stifler has a lot to do in the movie and, more often than not, his obnoxious personality creates a lot of laughs. Stifler even goes after Michelle's younger sister Cadence (the very hot January Jones and has a hilarious ongoing feud with Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) over who gets to win Cadence's heart. The results are surprising and funny.

The AMERICAN PIE movie formula of grossouts and embarassing sexual situations is very familiar by this third go-around and screenwriter Adam Herz pushes the envelope even farther in grossout humour and in nudity. There's a long altercation in a gay bar, a big gag about Jim shaving his pubic hair, and one of the most cringe-inducing scenes involving dog shit I've ever gagged through in a movie theatre.

As for the nudity side of things, the memory of Shannon Elizabeth's topless scene in the original Pie is matched and perhaps even exceeded by the amazing nudity by Nikki Ziering and Amanda Swisten at Jim's bachelor party. This doesn't disappoint, fellas.

There were some problems in the construction of many of the gags, especially in how logic flies out the window to set up the jokes and the characters did some really retarded things for the jokes to work. Also, since this was a workprint, some scenes fell flat and likely had yet to be completed. Regardless, the movie was still enjoyable and I'm certain the picture will be tightened a great deal before its August release date.

Also, even with half of the original cast absent, there still wasn't enough for everyone to do. Even though she's the bride, Michelle doesn't have as much screen time as one would expect; she plays second fiddle to Cadence throughout the picture, especially since Cadence's story revolved around Stifler. As for Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), he barely had any lines in the movie and no story of his own save for a funny bit involving his trademark rallying cry "To the next step".

AMERICAN WEDDING is fairly predictable and is in the mould of the previous Pie films, but fans of Stifler should enjoy his increased role and importance to the story. The movie is pretty much what you would expect AMERICAN PIE 3 to be, so if you're a fan of the first two, expect more of the same (in some respects, AMERICAN WEDDING is indeed superior to AMERICAN PIE 2). I thought the movie had some big laughs and some super hot women, so I enjoyed it for the most part. I wouldn't mind if AMERICAN WEDDING is the last of the American Pie films, and if it is, this is nice PIE to out on."

AMERICAN PIE 4 NEVER SAY NEVER SAY THE STARS (JULY 3RD 2003)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE STARS OF AMERICAN WEDDING ARE REFUSING TO RULE OUT A POSSIBLE 4TH MOVIE HOWEVER UNLIKELY IT SEEMS. IN AN ARTICLE ON MTV.COM SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT AND JASON BIGGS REFUSE TO RULE OUT A THIRD SEQUEL TO AMERICAN PIE, DESPITE AMERICAN WEDDING BEING BILLED AS THE CONCLUSION OF THE TRILOGY.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT A FOURTH AMERICAN PIE MOVIE SEANN W.SCOTT SAID, "I don't know, man. We've been saying this is the last one. It really completes the trilogy. If it does well, I'm sure the studio will go, 'Let's bring on a fourth one' 'American Baby' or I don't know, man. [But] for me what was exciting [about 'Wedding'] is that it really completed the character. I'm pretty happy with it. I think this will be the last one."
BUT JASON BIGGS SEEMED A BIT MORE HOPEFUL WHEN HE HAD THIS TO SAY, "I learned a valuable lesson in answering that question, because after the first one I was always like, 'C'mon, part two? No, please.' And [then], after the second one, 'Well jeez, maybe I should leave the option open. Maybe there'll be a third one,' and sure enough, here we are."
AND ALTHOUGH WRITER/PRODUCER ADAM HERZ STATED THE REASONS FOR CHRIS KLEIN AND OTHER STARS SUCH AS SHANNON ELIZABETH NOT RETURNING, IT'S CLEAR EVEN THE CAST DON'T KNOW WHY EVEN OZ WAS NOT BOUGHT BACK.
"I was concerned about it at first, because I didn't want people who were fans of the first two to really miss those characters, and we do, definitely," Scott admitted. "I'm not sure if they just didn't want to come back, or if they had other things going on. A lot of times we're just like, 'Where's Chris Klein?' "
SCOTT WHO FAMOUSLY DENIED THAT HE WOULD COME BACK FOR A SECOND SEQUEL WAS ONE OF THE FIRST STARS TO SIGN ON FOR AMERICAN WEDDING. HE EXPLAINED WHY,
"['American Wedding'] is the funniest script I've ever read. It's really what made me [change my mind and] want to do the movie. ... It's just, like, any nervousness that we had about doing a third one is gone, and we feel good about it. This one by far is going to be the best one. Oh man, wait till you see this movie, it's after college and [Stifler] is in more craziness. My character, it's just nice, because he's a good instigator and he brings out the best qualities in the other characters."
IN WHAT SEEMED TO BE A GENUINE SADNESS THAT CHRIS KLEIN ISN'T RETURNING FOR PIE 3 THE GUYS DID SAY THAT ONE JOKE FROM THE PREVIOUS MOVIES WON'T BE RETURNING.
"We asked the flute to come back for a cameo at the wedding," Biggs said.
"But the flute said if Chris Klein didn't come back, it wouldn't come back," chimed in Thomas.
"It got a little dicey," Biggs continued. "The flute was doing a play in London. There were travel and scheduling issues. And let's be honest, given the performance of the flute in the first movie, it has some negotiating power. I don't think the flute will be joining us, much to Alyson's dismay."



ADAM HERZ SPEAKS OUT ABOUT 'OZ' (JULY 3RD 2003)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PIE MOVIE 3.COM HAS PULLED OFF ANOTHER INCREDIBLE COUP GETTING ADAM HERZ TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT CHRIS KLEIN'S NON APPEARANCE IN AMERICAN WEDDING. HERE ARE THE WORDS FROM 'THE HORSES MOUTH' TO QUASH ANY RUMOURS:

"I would have loved to include Chris Klein in AP3. I even tried to write him into an early draft. However, I also wanted to tell the best story possible -- I wanted to make the best movie possible -- and to do that, no movie can have 11 main characters. Look at the poster for Pie 2 -- there are 11 people on it -- and I tried to write storylines for every single one of them in that movie. That didn't quite work how I'd wanted it to. Don't get me wrong, I love Pie 2 -- but it does meander in ways that I'm not pleased with as a storyteller.

So for Pie 3, I knew from the beginning that I would have to streamline the cast in order to tell a funny, well-paced, and just plain GOOD story. Originally, I thought that the obvious wedding would be Oz and Heather's. But then I thought it through... what would be entertaining about Oz and Heather getting married? There's no question that they're in complete love, and I certainly wasn't going to "test their relationship" -- I wouldn't want to see that (plus I tried it on Pie 2, and it all ended up on the cutting room floor for good reason). So then I thought, well, what's inherently interesting about Oz and Heather getting married -- interesting enough to merit a movie about it. Well... hmmm... not much. We saw them fall in love 2 movies ago, and, well, that was 2 movies ago.

There wasn't anywhere left to go with the character. As much as I love Oz, including him wouldn't really ADD to the movie. Following an Oz-Heather subplot would just detract from the main action and comedy. So I had to believe in my strength as a writer -- I had to believe that I could write a good enough movie that nobody would mind that I'd cut some characters.

And finally, the Pie series is firstly about COMEDY. Oz just wasn't a character with much comedic potential anymore -- that's no reflection on Chris Klein, it's just what happened over the course of 2 movies. The character was originally funny, then he matured, which made him not-so-funny anymore. Oz had moved on, and I had to move on too and let go of him.

As I said, I still tried write Oz into a very early draft just to see if I could make it work. It didn't. Shannon, Natasha, Mena, Tara, and Chris Owen all made appearances in one draft or another unsuccessfully. And it kind of sucked realizing that I wouldn't be able to work with those actors and actresses again (at least, on this movie). But again, I had to make some difficult choices if I wanted American Wedding to be as good as I thought it could be. And, I think it's turned out excellently. I can't wait for people to see it."

NO TIM ALLEN IN AMERICAN WEDDING (JUNE 23RD 2003)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADAM HERZ THE WRITER/PRODUCER OF THE AMERICAN PIE MOVIES HAS STATED THAT TIM ALLEN IS NOT IN AMERICAN WEDDING. ALTHOUGH ALLEN IS LISTED ON SEVERAL MAJOR FILM SITES AS PLAYING STIFLER'S DAD IN THE THIRD MOVIE, HERZ STRESSES HE IS NOT IN THE FILM.
"There is no 'other wedding' in the movie. Generally any summaries you've seen on IMDB have been wrong, other than that taken from the official Uni site. IMDB is about as reliable as your local weatherman... sometimes they're right and sometimes it's a 40% chance of accuracy. Tim Allen is not playing Stifler's Dad. Stifler's Dad is not in the film."

FIRST 'REVIEW' OF AMERICAN PIE 3 (MAY 22ND 2003)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FIRST 'REVIEW' OF AMERICAN WEDDING HAS APPEARED ONLINE AT http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=15265
THEY CLAIM TO HAVE SEEN THE WHOLE OF THE FILM THOUGH I SUSPECT IT'S A VERY EARLY COPY, AND NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT. AN INTERESTING POINT IS THEY CLAIM THE CHARACTERS WHO ARE NOT RETURNING DON'T EVEN GET A MENTION, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OZ. THEY CLAIM THE FILM IS QUITE GOOD WITH STIFLER GETTING MOST OF THE LAUGHS. HERE ARE THEIR COMMENTS:

American Wedding has all the original cast back, except tara reid, chris klein, mena suvari and natasha lyonne. And the funny thing is, they're not even mentioned except for the guys wishing oz could be at the wedding. that was a little weird. this one has Jim and Michelle getting married and as with the 2 others, opens up to a very funny proposal by Jim to Michelle. The scene takes place at a posh restaurant where we come to find out Jim is about to pop the question. One uncomfortable thing leads to another and we find Michelle under the table servicing Jim when all of a sudden, yep, Jim's dad walks up to the table to deliver the forgotten engagement ring. Funny conversation ensues and the scene ends with Jim proposing to Michelle in front of everybody in the place, pants down to his knees and hard-on busting out of his boxers. Raise title, up music. American Wedding.

in a nutshell, we follow the gang as jim and michelle get ready for their wedding as only the writer of the first two can tell it. Jim fumbles many things during the film and everybody comes through to help him out. Stifler causes havoc, but ends up redeeming himself somehow. Throw in some air-born pubic hair, over-excited dogs, a chocolate syrup-covered Finch and a ducktaped and gagged Kevin and you have yourself the same formula all the others do: seeing how far we can push the surprise gross gags and scenes, but it all coming down to the important things in life like friendship. and like all the others, stifler steals it. The funniest scenes of the film are him and even though he was a bit over the top in most of them, I found myself laughing out loud like I did in the other two. Some of those scenes include Stifler dancing at a gay bar, Stifler wearing a preppy Izod shirt and sweater tied around his neck and Stifler eating, well, I'll save that for you to experience. Jim's dad is also back with his unneeded advice such as (when explaining keeping the passion alive in marriage), You don't have to be kinky to keep the romance alive. She doesn't have to be the dog and you the hydrant in the bedroom. Finch is here too, competing with Stifler for Michelle's younger and prudent sister, but not forgetting his first love, Stifler's mom. Oh and by the way, I almost forgot; Nikki Ziering is in this one. Yea, that nikki and her 2 friends. Stifler throws a bachelor party and she shows up as the dominatrix cop. NICE. Gratuitous American Pie boobage.

You know what? Not to steal one of Jack Daniel's quotes from last night's review, but American Wedding is dumb fun. Light-hearted and well-written. We've seen these characters grow, shared embarrassing things in common and walked away with a smile on our faces. This one is no different. But I do hope this is it. If it is, it's a good way to go out. And in no better way than Stifler making out with Jim's grandma on the dance floor!

"Well, I'm stoked to say that I am in a trilogy. I am also stoked that I don't have to get up so early in the morning to go to work now that we are done filming. I mean 4:30AM is a little extreme sometimes, not that I'm complaining cause I am very fortunate to have been brought back for the 3rd installment."
YOU CAN READ THE FULL INTERVIEW AND CHECK OUT SOME CANDID PHOTOS AT http://www.piemovie3.com


AMERICAN PIE 3 PHOTO SECTION UPDATED (APRIL 28TH 2003)

THERE HAVE BEEN RUMOURS GOING ROUND ONCE MORE THAT HE IS GOING TO PLAY STIFLER'S FATHER.

SEANN 'RULES OUT PIE 4?' MOVIE 'FILLS IN ALL THE GAPS' (APRIL 22ND 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT HAS TOLD EONLINE.COM THAT AMERICAN WEDDING IS FUNNIER THAN PIE 2, BUT SEEMED TO QUASH RUMOURS OF A FOURTH PIE MOVIE. SCOTT WHO HAS JUST SEEN A ROUGH CUT OF AMERICAN PIE 3 HAD THIS TO SAY, " The lamest scene in American Pie 3 is funnier than anything in the first two. It's awesome. I really can't watch the first two, because this one is so good. It was a great way to end that franchise. There won't be American Baby or American Divorce. But really, it's all about Stifler. We finally get to see the twisted things that make him tick. The movie fills in all the gaps."




PIE 3 TEASER TRAILER NOW ONLINE (APRIL 21ST 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
THE AMERICAN PIE 3 TEASER TRAILER, AS PREVIOUSLY SHOWN AT THE SHO WEST FILM FESTIVAL, IS NOW ONLINE.
YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT AT: http://www2.filmweb.no/trailer/article.jhtml?articleID=21057&visTrailer=true&felt=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.filmweb.no%2Ftrailere%2Fuip%2FUIP20030291%2F2.mov
THE TRAILER SHOWS JIM PROPOSING TO MICHELLE IN A RESTAURANT, AND HER GOING UNDER THE TABLE TO PLEASURE HIM. JIM'S DAD TURNS UP AND WELL YOU CAN GUESS THE REST. WE ALSO GET TO SEE A CLIP OF STIFLER SAYING THAT HE MIGHT CRY AT JIM'S WEDDING, AND CADENCE SAYING HOW SWEET HE IS. FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE IT LOOKS QUITE GOOD.


AMERICAN WEDDING PREVIEW FROM E:WEEKLY (APRIL 21ST 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
AMERICAN PIE 3 IS PREVIEWED THIS WEEK IN THE US MAGAZINE ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY. IN THE CURRENT ISSUE ADAM HERZ TALKS ABOUT HIS 'WORRY' ON GETTING THE CAST BACK FOR A THIRD INSTALLMENT, AND SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT EXPLAINS WHY HE HAD TO RETURN AS STIFLER ONCE AGAIN. SCREENWRITER HERZ HAD NO REASON TO BE CONFIDENT ON THE CAST RETURNING FOR A THIRD MOVIE, AS THE AMERICAN PIE STARS WERE ONLY CONTRACTED TO APPEAR IN ONE SEQUEL. HE EXPLAINS THE THINKING BEHIND PART THREE, "UNIVERSAL SAID WRITE THE MOVIE FOR WHOMEVER YOU WANT IN IT AND THEN WE'LL WORRY. THERE WAS A SUB-AGENDA WHICH WAS 'WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE ACTORS WE NEED, IN WHICH CASE APPROACH THE SCRIPT AS A STAND-ALONE MOVIE...A WEDDING COMEDY ABOUT TWO YOUNG PEOPLE AND SOME ASSHOLE WHO WANTS TO COME TO THE WEDDING.'"
LUCKILY FOR HERZ AS WE KNOW THE MAJOR CORE CHARACTERS AGREED TO RETURN. ONE OF THESE CHARACTERS IS STIFLER PLAYED BY THE BRILLIANT SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT. NOW SEANN HAD PREVIOUSLY GONE ON RECORD AS SAYING HE WOULDN'T RETURN FOR A THIRD MOVIE, AND WAS SICK OF THE 'STIFLER TAG'.
SEANN SOON CHANGED HIS MIND HOWEVER AND HAD THIS TO SAY, "MY AGENT SAID I KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO IT, BUT JUST READ IT. I READ IT AND I WAS SO ANGRY THAT A LOT OF THE FUNNIEST LINES WERE IN THE THIRD. I WAS LIKE, WHY WASN'T THIS IN THE SECOND? I THOUGHT I HAVEN'T DONE COMEDY IN LIKE, A YEAR. IF I WAS TO GO BACK AND DO A COMEDY, WHY NOT GO BACK TO THE PART THAT STARTED IT OFF FOR ME?"
THE ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY MAGAZINE ALSO FEATURES SEVERAL PICTURES FROM THE UPCOMING MOVIE INCLUDING ONE OF PAUL FINCH WITH A STRIPPER(CHECK OUT OUR AMERICAN PIE 3 PHOTOS SECTION!), AND JIM 'PANTSLESS' IN A RESTAURANT IN FRONT OF HIS HORRIFED DAD AND ONLOOKERS.


CAMEO ROLE FOR NEWLY WED COUPLE REVEALED (APRIL 14TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
I CAN NOW REVEAL ANOTHER AMERICAN PIE 3 SCENE. A NEWLY WED COUPLE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A CAMEO ROLE IN THE THIRD MOVIE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK TRL AND THE CAST OF AMERICAN PIE 3, GAVE AWAY A SMALL ROLE FOR A NEWLY WED COUPLE FOR VALENTINES DAY. I CAN NOW TELL YOU THAT THEIR ROLE IS IN THE REHEARSAL DINNER SCENE, IN WHICH JIM'S DAD PRACTICES HIS WEDDING SPEECH. THE COUPLE ACTUALLY SAT ONE TABLE AWAY FROM SEAN BREWSTER, THE WEDDING GUEST WHO I INTERVIEWED A SHORT WHILE BACK. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK OUT HIS FULL INTERVIEW ON THIS SITE.
WHILST ON SET THE COUPLE MIXED WITH THE CAST WHEREVER POSSIBLE, AND WERE CONSTANTLY FILMED BY I BELIEVE MTV, FOR A FUTURE BEHIND THE SCENES BROADCAST.


INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE CAST UPDATE (APRIL 10TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
JOHN CHO AND JUSTIN ISFELD HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE CAST LIST FOR AMERICAN PIE 3, ON THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE. ALSO ADDED IN THE LATEST UPDATE ARE ANGELA PATON(JIM'S GRANDMA), AMANDA SWISTEN(FRAULEIN BRANDI) AND J.P. MANOUX WHO PLAYS A CHARACTER CALLED THE JELLO DELIVERY MAN.


STIFLER'S MOM IS BACK IN THIRD INSTALLMENT (APRIL 10TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
I'VE JUST WATCHED AN AMERICAN PIE 3 BEHIND THE SCENES SPOT FROM E NEWS ONLINE. IT CONFIRMED STIFLER'S MOM IS BACK IN PART 3. OTHER SNIPPETS WERE THAT KEVIN FINALLY GETS OVER FIRST LOVE VICKY, AND HAS A NEW GIRLFRIEND. I SAW MICHELLES PARENTS(FRED WILLARD AND DEBORAH RUSH) AND THE CREW SEEM IN REALLY HIGH SPIRITS. SADLY THIS REPORT ALSO STATED OFFICIALLY THAT SHANNON ELIZABETH, TARA REID, MENA SUVARI AND CHRIS KLEIN ARE ALL DEFINITELY NOT IN THE MOVIE, IN ANY FORM. IT DIDN'T MENTION NATASHA LYONNE, SO WHETHER SHE MAKES A RETURN OR NOT IS NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR.

SEANN W.SCOTT-AMERICAN PIE 3 'FUNNIEST SCRIPT' (APRIL 10TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT WHO PLAYS STIFLER IN THE AMERICAN PIE MOVIES, HAS CLAIMED THE THIRD MOVIE HAS THE FUNNIEST SCRIPT. IN A RECENT RADIO INTERVIEW SEANN HAD THIS TO SAY, "I didn't even want to read it because I was just like 'No, we got lucky on the first two, I don't even want to be thinking about it right now.' And then I thought 'I don't want to have any regrets, let me just read it.' And I was just blown away because I thought it was the funniest script that I have ever read. Some of the actors aren't in it, but it still works. It's really about Jason Biggs asking Alyson Hannigan's character to marry him. And then you've got my character, who is just a complete nightmare. It really is a complete funny movie."

MORE AMERICAN PIE 3 NEWS (APRIL 9TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
I'VE FOUND OUT THAT DEBOARAH RUSH IS PLAYING MICHELLE'S MOTHER. ALSO I CAN REVEAL THAT IN A SCENE IN THE THIRD MOVIE, FINCH AND STIFLER ARE UNABLE TO FIT IN THE SAME CAR TOGETHER. SO CADENCE DECIDES TO TRAVEL WITH STIFLER INSTEAD. COULD THIS BE THE START OF A BUDDING ROMANCE?


FIRST OFFICIAL AMERICAN PIE 3 PHOTOS RELEASED (APRIL 9TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
THE FIRST FOUR PHOTOS OF AMERICAN PIE 3 HAVE BEEN FOUND ON LATINO REVIEW'S WEBSITE. YOU CAN FIND THEM BY CLICKING ON THE AMERICAN PIE 3 PHOTOS SECTION ON THIS WEBSITE. I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A COUPLE MORE TEASER PICS IN THERE.

LEVY INTERVIEW WITH CINEMA CONFIDENTIAL (APRIL 8TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
EUGENE LEVY GAVE A BRIEF INTERVIEW TO CINEMA CONFIDENTIAL, IN WHICH HE WAS FULL OF PRAISE FOR AMERICAN PIE 3. THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY: "I honestly think it has a really great shot at being the funniest of the three. There's just a ton of stuff that Adam Herz has written in this thing, just a lot of gags and a lot of things. It's kind of relentless. It just kind of keeps coming and it is set against the backdrop of a wedding. My son Jim gets married so you do have a built in emotional spine that underpins this thing. You get this unbelievably raunchy comedy thing built around this wedding. I think it's a really strong vibe. There's some sexual stuff in there and there's stuff that will curl the hairs on your back a little bit. There are some images...more power to them. I think they're funny but the great things about these films to me is that they seem to pull off what could be very bad taste stuff in a way that is tasteful enough so that you don't look at it as being distasteful. That's a fine line."


LEVY PROMISES 'BEST PIE' YET (APRIL 7TH 2003)
----------------------------------------------------
EUGENE LEVY HAS PROMISED THAT AMERICAN PIE 3 WILL BE THE BEST OF THE TRILOGY. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES LEVY, WHO PLAYS JIM'S DAD SAID, "IT'S THE BEST OF THE THREE PIE MOVIES."
LEVY ALSO HINTED ON A POSSIBLE RETURN FOR AMERICAN PIE 4 WHEN HE SAID, "IF THEY COME UP WITH A FOURTH SCRIPT AS GOOD, I'LL SIGN UP IN A MINUTE."
AMERICAN PIE 3 HITS US THEATRES ON AUGUST 1ST, AND UK CINEMAS AUGUST 15TH.

CHRIS PENN ACTUALLY PLAYED THE STIFFMEISTER'S FATHER IN AMERICAN PIE 2, BUT HIS SCENES WERE DELETED. OF COURSE IN THE END THAT CHARACTER WAS REPLACED BY THE RETURN OF STIFLER'S LITTLE BROTHER (ELI MARIENTHAL). IT WOULD SEEM STIFLER'S DAD WILL APPEAR IN SOME FORM IN THE THIRD INSTALLMENT, AS STIFLER'S PARENTS ARE SET TO RENEW THEIR WEDDING VOWS. THERE HAS BEEN NO CONFIRMATION AS YET, AS TO WHETHER JENNIFER COOLIDGE WILL REPRISE HER ROLE AS JANINE (STIFLER'S MOM).
