Cult comedy Community may be making the jump to the 💛big screen, but two of Greendale’s finest – Alison Brie and Danny Pudi &nd🥂ash; think the upcoming movie will still stick to its roots.

"I think what was always great about Community is it was such an underdog show. We always kind of leaned into that. I can only imagine that the movie will do the same in its self-deprecating self-referential way," Brie told GamesRadar+ during an interview for her new Prime Video romcom Somebody I 🐻🍸Used to Know. "The scope of it – it can’t be bigger th𝔍an Greendale."

Pudi adds, "There still needs to be a tin foil costume. You know, there s🅰till needs to be aluminium foi꧃l and cotton swabs to create alternate timelines."

Pudi, who played pop culture treasure trove Abed across all six seasons of the sitcom, also reveals he’s feeling "emotional" at the prospect of a return ꧂to the study group.

"I guess it’s sort of like [Somebody I Used to Know] was. It was so nice 🎐to be back on set with Alison. Just because we have so much fun and history together… we just had a really nice time together. I think that's true with the [Community] cast. I think we're gonna have so much fun just being with each other. We've gone thr🍎ough so much and it's been a while.

To be able to come back to something, it’s such a gift. I think we owe that toܫ the fans to be able to rally on our behalf to bring back something🐼 that we never thought was gonna get a second season. I honestly felt just kind of really emotional about it."

The Community movie, after years of speculation, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:was confirmed in 2022. Much of the core cast, including Joel McHale, Gill🎃ian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong, are returni𝄹ng for the Peacock release. But given the show's potted history of cancelations and outgoings, there's still a sense of trepidation.

Brie says, "I feel nervous and scept𝕴ical still. Things are in the works, schedules are being checked, people have signed on to do a thing. But if there’s one thing I’vไe learned from Community is anything can happen. Until we’re on set shooting the movie, I’ll believe it when I see it!"
