Will Jason Biggs Return for American Pie 5? He Finally Answers

Jason Biggs is absolutely game for more Pie. In a new interview tied to his upcoming movie 'Untitled Home Invasion Romance,' he said he would jump back into the franchise and, if the stars align, maybe even direct the next one.

So, is he in for American Pie 5?

Short answer: yes. When ComingSoon asked if he would return for a fifth main American Pie movie, Biggs did not hesitate. He said he is open to starring, open to directing, and very open to doing both. He also admitted this is more something he has been daydreaming about than a real thing in motion right now — no studio has called him yet. But the interest is there.

'I would love to do another American Pie regardless. Whether I direct it or not, I love working with those people, and I love playing that role.'

He also joked, pretty bluntly, that the paycheck would not hurt — and that his new indie is not exactly sending him to the bank. The bigger, more personal angle here is that he wants to direct again. He said that despite the bumps, his last directing experience was genuinely fun, especially the part where he got to work closely with actors. Getting to do that on a big studio comedy would be, in his words, incredible.

Where the franchise stands

• The first American Pie hit theaters in 1999.
• The core cast over the main films includes Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Chris Klein, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, and Eugene Levy.
• The last main entry was 2012's 'American Reunion.'

Translation: it has been a while. So if American Pie 5 actually happens, Biggs wants in — whether he is back as Jim, behind the camera, or both. Just do not read this as an announcement; it is enthusiasm, not a green light. Still, if the band ever gets back together, he is ready to bring the flute. And yes, the money jokes are part of the pitch.
