Community movie script was "pretty darn close" to finished before the writers' strike

Joel McHale, Donald Glover, and Danny Pudi in Community

The long-awaited Community movie is in the works, and showrunner Dan Harmon and co-writer Andrew Guest have nearly finished the script, according to series star Joel McHale.

"We had a shooting date coming up, which was going to be in the summer," McHale, who played Jeff in the beloved sitcom, told Variety. "And I think they were extremely close to – I mean, Dan is somebody that tweaks things but, obviously, that’s all stopped. But I think it was pretty darn close. It was close, the shoot date was coming up and we were all excited to do it and then the writers' strike happened, which obviously put everything on hold, and rightfully so. The writers are asking for very reasonable things. Writers need to be paid properly."
