Universal Pictures open casting call for 'American Reunion' in Atlanta, GA

The upcoming feature film "American Reunion," which is the fourth film in the "American Pie" series is in pre-production and there is an open casting call scheduled for people interested in working on the film as extras stand-ins, and photo doubles for the films stars.

In addition to the three original films, there have been four "American Pie Presents" direct-to-DVD Universal Home Entertainment videos, however these are American Pie spinoff movies, not prequels or sequels. Paul and Chris Weitz were not attached in any way with these videos, but they are indeed executive producers of "American Reunion", which is being called part-sequel, part-reboot.

Adam Herz of Terra Firma Films is on board as executive producer. Herz created all of the original characters from the first three "American Pie" films, and also did the same on all four of the "American Pie Presents" direct-to-DVD videos. Another production alumni from the original films, Craig Perry of Practical Pictures, will co-produce.

Universal Pictures released the first film in the "American Pie" franchise on July 9, 1999, and it quickly became a worldwide pop culture sensation, bringing forth two prompt sequels. The original three films in the series were produced on a total combined budget of $95 million, and ended up grossing over 3/4 of a billion dollars worldwide.

Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg will direct "American Reunion," and have also written the script. They are known for writing and/or directing all of the the "Harold and Kumar" films.

Story:

Mary Holmes (Heather Wahlquist) has a great life. She's young, beautiful, lives in Los Angeles. She has a good job teaching at a private elementary school and four beautiful children. But things aren't always what they seem. Mary has problems. She has a difficult time feeling things, and the fact that she eats twenty Vicodin a day doesn't help. She sees a psychiatrist (David Morse) for the disconnect daydreams she keeps having, and her younger sister (Lucy Punch) with Tourettes hates her. And when she loses her job for sleeping with one of the fathers on Parent's night, she decides to go home. And that's when the fun really starts. The dreams which seemed so random now start to take real shape as we understand where she came from. From young and in love, drug dealing on the road, to her father's slow painful death, from questions of love and incest to her older sister's descent into insanity, the secret that destroyed her entire family reveals itself on her journey back home, along with Mary's ultimate responsibility for it. Busby Berkeley, Cirque de Soleil, Circus freaks, and human farm animals all make appearances in this hallucinogenic tale of love and comeuppance.

Young Donny #2: Adam Sandler at 18 yrs old. Older and now a father (not a very good one either), Donny is forced to have to take on the role of true fatherhood when his father gets fed up and Leaves him to fend for himself.
