David Wain still talking about a Wet Hot American Summer prequel
The idea of a Wet Hot American Summer reunion is certainly nothing new. As recently as April, when we spoke to director David Wain and stars Joe Lo Truglio and Ken Marino around the film’s tenth anniversary, Lo Truglio acknowledged, ”Every now and then that comes up—how we could do some type of sequel or prequel.” But he was also quick to qualify that statement, saying, “But when you have Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper and Amy [Poehler] and all these movie stars and gigantic people in it, it’s like… If everyone made their quote, it would be like a $30-$40 million movie. But who knows—one could always dream, I suppose.” And so one has continued to dream, and sometimes they progress to telling Wain about that dream in an interview, like the one Wain had recently on “The Q&A With Jeff Goldsmith” podcast, where he once again gave hope to all those waiting for the cult comedy to get another chapter.
