As the Sundance Film Festival approaches, actress Alison Brie is taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting her iconic role as Annie Edison in the beloved series Community. With the highly anticipated film adaptation of the show on the horizon, Brie shared her excitement and preparation process in a recent interview with People.
Revisiting classic moments
In her conversation, Brie revealed that she decided to rewatch some classic episodes of Community to get into character for the upcoming film. “I was having a meeting with [series creator] Dan Harmon, and we were talking about the Community movie and I wanted to rewatch some classic Annie episodes, so I did, and they were great,” she said.
This nostalgic dive not only highlights her dedication to the role but also showcases the lasting impact the series has had on its cast and fans alike.
Progress on the Community movie
The journey towards a Community movie has been a long one, with Brie first hinting at the project back in August 2022.
During an appearance on The Wrap’s UnWrapped podcast, she mentioned that discussions were underway. Fast forward to July 2024, and co-star Joel McHale provided an update, stating, “We have the money, and that’s a huge step.” This progress has fans buzzing with anticipation, as the cast prepares to reunite on set.
Balancing work and personal life
While Brie is excited about stepping back into the world of Community, she is also busy promoting her new film Together, which she co-stars in with her husband, Dave Franco. The couple has found a unique way to balance their professional and personal lives.
“We allow it to be all-encompassing and then when we get home [after the movie wraps], we can chill out,” Brie explained. This approach not only strengthens their relationship but also enhances their creative collaboration.
As the Sundance Film Festival runs from January 26 to February 1, fans are eager to see both Brie’s new film and the progress of the Community movie.
With the cast expressing their excitement and nostalgia, it’s clear that this reunion is not just a project; it’s a heartfelt return to a cherished part of their lives.
