Get ready for another slice

One of the rules of Hollywood business reality is this: a film franchise need not end even when the trilogy is complete. That seems to be happening with Universal's AMERICAN PIE comedy series; even after last summer's AMERICAN WEDDING brought a fitting conclusion to the sexual misadventures of Jim Levinstein (Jason Biggs) and his group of guy pals, it looks as if there's been quiet development on the part of the studio to continue on the movie series by using the younger sibling of Steve Stifler (Sean William Scott's character) as the main character for AMERICAN PIE 4.

We were contacted by a reader that's in line for an audition for one of the roles in AP4. With casting reads set to begin shortly, the film's script is being handed out to give to prospective actors to try out for the parts in the film. Our anonymous scooper filed this report with us (here be SPOILERS):

"All the original characters have moved on, except there will be a cameo by Finch. Stifler's little brother Matt, wants to join his brother's business (Stifler has hit it big producing Girls Gone Wild videos) and after everything Matt has heard from Jim's bandgeek wife Michelle, he plans to go back to band camp and make a video of his own.... Bandies Gone Wild."

While Universal hasn't announced any plans for AMERICAN PIE 4, the FilmJerk website was the first to report about the plans to fashion a sequel and set it at the band camp made infamous by Alyson Hannigan's character in the first three films. FilmJerk also uncovered the name of the writer (Brad Riddell) and director (Steve Rash) and also heard that the plan is to get filming started sometime next month. If that's still the case official casting announcements should be heard shortly for AMERICAN PIE 4.
