Community's very own Ken Jeong, who played Ben Chang, recently commented on the status of Community: The Movie, and teased the script as "emotional."
The actor and comedian, who played Greendale Community College’s one-time Spanish teacher Ben Chang, acknowledged the ongoing fan support for the show, noting that it’s “just a complete joy” and there’s so much “gratitude. Because when the show was on the air, we had the most devoted fans of any project I’ve ever done. The most devoted fans.”
So devoted that their “six seasons and a movie” prophecy was confirmed to be a reality when Peacock announced it’s bringing the Greendale gang back together for a long-hoped-for movie. It was announced in September 2022, so it’s been some time since fans have gotten an update on the project, which Jeong promised is “not a matter of if, it is a matter of when.”
While chatting about his appearance on Fox’s Accused, Jeong told TV Insider, “There is a script, there is a plan. We just don’t know when [it will happen]. Once that’s agreed upon, it’ll be magical and real emotional.” Imagining what filming will look like, Jeong said, “I think being on set experiencing that again [will be] so gratifying. Words can’t even express.”
And Jeong comments on the current script for Community: The Movie...
While Jeong couldn’t reveal many details about the Community: The Movie itself, he did share that when it came to reading the script, “It made me emotional, and just brought me right back, and that’s all I’m legally allowed to say.”
