Community movie nearly filmed but one star's schedule caused delay

Community co-writer and executive producer Andrew Guest says the intent to make the Community movie is still in place, but an opportunity to begin filming passed because of unforeseen circumstances.

"We got very close to shooting that," Guest told The Watch podcast. "As the writer strike and actor strikes were ending, all of our cast were available. All of them wanted to do it. We had a line producer. We had a script that we were in the process of starting to rewrite."

He added that "one of our actors' projects sort of came into conflict in terms of timing. I don't want to single that person out because people will shame them - you know the Community fan base. And please, Community fan base, do not be upset with any of these people."

The update is a bit of a mixed bag for fans: the project remains planned, but scheduling conflicts have delayed production.
