Universal Pictures is planning to reunite original cast members of teen sex comedy American Pie, hopefully for another big slice of the box office, reports People.
Currently, Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott and Eugene Levy have signed on for the new theatrical endeavor. Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari and Jennifer Coolidge are all in talks to reprise their roles as well.
The new film, written and directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay) will be called American Reunion.
Yesterday (March 16), Seann William Scott, the actor who played Steve Stifler, entered treatment for “health and personal issues.”
"Seann William Scott has voluntarily admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues,” said his reps in a statement. “He appreciates the support of his many fans at this time."
His agent confirms the comedic actor will be ready when American Reunion starts filming on May 24.
