Jason Biggs expresses desire for the production of 'American Pie 5' movie

Jason Biggs expresses aspirations for American Pie's fifth installment

In a recent interview, co-star Thomas Ian Nicholas revealed that negotiations for 'American Pie 5' have been ongoing for some time. This news comes as no surprise, considering Jason Biggs' expressed interest in a fifth installment of the cult film series.

Biggs, who played the iconic character of Jim Levenstein in the original films, has often referred to his co-stars as a family, suggesting a close bond between them. In an interview with People, Biggs stated that he would "love to do" a fifth part.

The first 'American Pie' premiered in 1999 and quickly became a cult classic. Three more sequels followed, with the last, 'American Reunion', released in 2012. There was also a spin-off film series, 'American Pie Presents', consisting of five films released between 2005 and 2020.

The sequel is reportedly a tricky endeavour due to the need to get many people on board, both on and off screen. Everyone involved in the potential sequel, including Jason Biggs, has their own ideas for the story. Biggs considers the project to be fun and enjoyable, and he suggests that the current climate of nostalgia could be the right time for a fifth part of 'American Pie'.

Tara Reid, another co-star, has reportedly read the script for the potential fifth part and found it "really funny." Biggs gathered Alyson Hannigan, Mena Suvari, Chris Klein, and Shannon Elizabeth for the TBS show "Dinner and a Movie" to watch the first 'American Pie' film, further fueling speculation about a possible reunion.

However, negotiations for the production of American Pie 5 in 2021 have not been without challenges. According to Nicholas, who revealed in November 2024 that negotiations had been underway for "summer 2021," the parties couldn't agree. There is no available information in the provided search results about who was responsible for the negotiations.

Biggs considers the 'American Pie' film series, particularly the first film, as something special and unique. He considers the project to be a labour of love, and his enthusiasm for a potential fifth installment is evident. As fans eagerly await further updates, one thing is certain: if 'American Pie 5' does happen, it will undoubtedly be a reunion to remember.
