I want this movie inside me: Wet Hot American Summer 2 is definitely happening



Well, definitely is kind of a relative term I suppose. Either way, I want this movie inside me right now. 

Via The Playlist comes this teaser from an interview Jeff Goldsmith at did with director David Wain about Wet Hot American Summer's 10th anniversary. 

Wain: Yes, we have been talking about a sequel, prequel, something or other.
Goldsmith: The idea I’ve heard tossed around is that it would be a prequel but when you shoot it they would be 20 years older.
Wain: Well, no that would be absurd. The prequel would be the same summer so they would be 20 years old for the part yeah, but not younger. So it would be 40 year olds playing 16 year olds. And yeah, we’re in the early stages of thinking about that.
The director also says he’s been trying to get Universal (who owns the film) to do a 10th Anniversary DVD/Blu-ray release but they aren’t interested. “I told them we would be willing to do a new prequel teaser short for it and new interviews and new material but they were like, ‘No, nobody buys it. Nobody cares.’”
Ugh, the fact that nobody buys this DVD tastes like burgers and I don't like it anymore.  Cool gallery of original art inspired by the film plus "Will you help teach me about this...what is it? A new way?" after the jump.

I once had shabbat dinner at Tufts with the goth indoor girl and the camper who gets with Molly Shannon. Extra weird because I'm not Jewish and I didn't go to Tufts.

Stepping foot on Tufts campus is close enough.

I have nothing to add here aside from that I'm going to go fondue some cheddar.

What's the deal with people of Jewish descent?
