I canʼt say Iʼve ever been a fan of the teen-comedy series but I do believe a fifth direct sequel isnʼt necessary considering the previous three sequels and four spin-offs, havenʼt shown any form of growth, rather, a steady decrease in quality. Having said that, it's been three years since the last American Pie instalment and this franchise does have a strong fanbase to call upon. Nonetheless, strong fanbases shouldnʼt result in laudable reasons to throw another movie into our laps. So far, American Pie has bankrolled Eugene Levy for life, with the actor starring in all direct sequels and shoot offs to date, and will likely pop-up again. Even Seann William Scott knew the spin-offs were a bad idea. Not much is known about American Pie 5, with only a flicker of progress regarding its casting. Tara Reid hinted earlier this year that talks had begun with the story potentially being set in Las Vegas - always a highly original setting for a teen-comedy.
