From White Castle to American Pie: Penn Alum To Reboot Popular Film Franchise

Harold and Kumar writers Jon Hurwitz (W'00) and Hayden Schlossberg have been tapped by Universal to write a new script to reboot the American Pie film franchise. And by reboot, I mean not direct-to-DVD, but back in the theaters!

I'm excited to see what Jon and Hayden will do to top that memorable pie scene!
