Donald Glover took the stage at the Writers Guild of America Awards and called out his Community co-star Chevy Chase. Created by Dan Harmon, the NBC sitcom centered on an eclectic group of students enrolled at the fictional Greendale Community College. Glover starred as Troy Barnes a former high school athletic star who embraces his nerdy side with best friend Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi).

During the production of Community, Chase reportedly did not get along well with much of the cast and crew. In one instance, it was alleged that he called Glover a racial slur.

While presenting Atlanta executive producer, Paul Simms, with the Sargent Award for Comedy Excellence at the 75th Annual Writers Guild of America Awards, Glover took a jab at Chase's past comments. Read what Glover said below:

This award was named after Herb Sargent, a writer who worked on [Saturday Night Live] and came up...

Community star Alison Brie shares that the upcoming movie won't feel real until they're actually making it. The sitcom is set in and around Greendale Community College, where an unlikely group of friends have formed a study group. It ran for six seasons between 2009 and 2015, after which point rumors of a follow-up movie have intermittently swirled over the years. However, it wasn't until September 2022 that the NBCUniversal streaming service Peacock finally announced that they had officially picked up the project.

The A.V. Club recently sat down with Brie to discuss her new film Somebody I Used to Know. Inevitably, the topic turned to the upcoming Community movie, which she says is "allegedly" shooting this summer, with all the major returning players having already signed on. However, she added that "I’ll believe it when I see it" and that until she's on set it won't feel like it's really happening.

Just a few months after the project was confirmed, Dan Harmon has revealed that the Community movie won't include two fan-favorite show details. Community gained a cult following thanks to its meta-humor, pop culture references, and homages to classic film and TV tropes during its six-season run on NBC and Yahoo! Screen from 2009 to 2015. The series was nearly canceled more than once, only to be saved by several fan campaigns to keep the show afloat. The long-awaited movie will finally fulfill the show's popular slogan "six seasons and a movie," as the film's release will take that mantra from hopeful to prophetic.

In a recent interview with Six Seasons & A Podcast, Harmon, who was the main creative force behind the show and also served as the Community showrunner during seasons 1-3 and seasons 5-6, divulged which fan favorite genre homages from the show will not be part of Community: The Movie's plot.

The Community movie is reportedly going to see the return of a beloved fan-favorite season 6 character in the reunion project. After years of demanding and campaigning for it, the NBC comedy, Community, is finally embracing its longtime "#SixSeasonsAndAMovie" mantra. On September 30, Peacock and Sony Pictures TV announced that they had officially greenlit the Community movie with original show creator Dan Harmon coming back to co-write the script. The movie properly going forward comes after years of Harmon and cast members being asked in countless interviews about a Community continuation.

While details are being kept under wraps about the Community movie, a former cast member is possibly making his way back for the reunion film. In TVLine's recent edition of Inside Line, a Community fan inquired if the outlet had any news about the highly anticipated movie. According to TVLine, Keith David, who joined Community back in season 6, had recently chatted with the website,...

Abed was the first to say, "Six seasons and a movie!" in season 2, episode 21 of Community, and since then the line has been shortened to the hashtag "#6seasonsandamovie" as a way for fans to show support for the show and to voice their desire for a feature film. Over seven years after the series finale, it appears that Dan Harmon and crew will be getting together for a Community film for streaming on Peacock, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

A date has not been set for the release, so interested audiences should brush up on their Community history as soon as possible. All six seasons are currently available on Netflix and the rewatches are just as funny the second, third, and fourth times around. However, like any show years past its finale, going back to Community can force fans to accept some harsh realities about their favorite show. No series...

It's always a treat when actors are able to transition effortlessly between comedic and dramatic performances, particularly when they're better established within one of those genres. For example, many audiences are currently shocked at just how powerful and touching Colin Farrell's work was in The Banshees Of Inisherin, given the actor's comedic past.

Reddit users have recently shared a few other examples of comedic actors who effectively transitioned into dramatic acting, and it's much more common than you'd initially expect. Comedians often have the perfect amount of empathy and transparency to succeed with dramatic acting.

Bryan Cranston

His performance as Walter White in Breaking Bad is what Bryan Cranston will always be best known for, but the actor's roots actually find themselves in the comedy genre. He starred in one of the lead roles of Malcolm In The Middle before his dramatic career really took off.

Attention, Greendale Human Beings: a "Community" feature film is finally in the works at Peacock, fulfilling the sitcom's famous "six seasons and a movie" prophecy. Announced by the NBC streaming platform on Sept. 30, "Community: The Movie" will reunite most of the comedy's ensemble cast, including Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Danny Pudi, Ken Jeong, Gillian Jacobs, and Jim Rash, as well as original series creator Dan Harmon, Variety reports. McHale is also set to executive produce alongside Andrew Guest.

Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown - who portrayed Troy Barnes and Shirley Bennett, respectively - are not yet confirmed to be involved, although McHale did tag both actors in a tweet and Instagram post sharing the news. Plus, Glover and Brown each participated in a virtual table read event with the rest of the cast in 2020, so we're holding out hope for their return. It seems unlikely that Chevy Chase, whose...

Perhaps you’ve heard but a beloved American sitcom that just happened to go six seasons is now getting a cheeky little movie.

That’s right: Sony Pictures TV and Peacock jointly announced the confirmation of a Community movie today, fulfilling the show’s decades long “six seasons and a movie” promise. This is something that fans have been waiting for ever since Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) uttered the now-prophetic line in season 2’s “Paradigms of Human Memory.”

six seasons…

Community showrunner Dan Harmon has been remarkably open and honest about wanting to get a movie made pretty much ever since the show went off air in 2015. As recently as 2020, Harmon revealed that he was actively working on an outline for the script. Still, the arrival of this news today is somehow quite shocking. Who could have ever imagined that an entire fanbase could successfully browbeat two...

"Community" was simply playing the long game with "Six seasons and a movie," after all.

One of the funniest running gags in the entire comedy series -- which started as an incredibly niche underdog with an almost impenetrable sense of humor and consistently low ratings, only later exploding in popularity as the years have gone by -- has finally turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Today, after far too many false starts and hints and hopeful speculation, the news has been made official that "Community" will receive its very own feature film spin-off. Teased on social media by members of the cast like Joel McHale and Ken Jeong before the news officially broke, Peacock confirmed the rumors once and for all with the reveal that the long, long, long-awaited "Community" movie will debut exclusively on the streaming service.

Pop, pop the champagne: Maybe it’s not the darkest timeline after all, as “six seasons and a movie” is finally becoming reality. Peacock has ordered a movie based on the Dan Harmon comedy “Community,” bringing back original stars Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong to check in on what the gang from Greendale has been up to since the show ended in 2015.

Without sharing specifics, Peacock and Sony Pictures TV, which jointly announced the greenlight on Friday, described the negotiations for Peacock to secure the movie as “heavily competitive.” As part of the deal, Peacock has also acquired non-exclusive rights to the full six-season “Community” library, which can also be found on Netflix and Hulu.

“Community” creator Harmon is behind the movie as executive producer and writer, along with Andrew Guest. McHale also serves as EP, as do Russ Krasnoff and Gary Foster.

In his day Buster Keaton’s popularity trailed that of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, but now those reputations have switched around. These two ‘lesser’ Keaton features generate more sheer fun than anything going. Seven Chances and Battling Butler are great on remastered Blu-ray — better materials, no missing frames — but do yourself a favor and find a way to see a Keaton picture with a big audience!
