It’s hard to believe it has been over a decade since audiences met the cast of the first “American Pie” movie and eight years since the release of 2003′s “American Wedding” but all of the original cast members have signed on to reunite for the upcoming movie ”American Reunion”.
Jason Biggs star of the franchise says it was fun to reunite with all the original cast members after so many years. “It was really good. It was kind of surreal being back with everybody. Not everyone was in the third movie so there were people I haven’t seen since the second film. A lot of us have not really kept in touch. But these films — especially the first one — are such a huge part of our lives, and it’s this shared experience that is so important to all of us. No matter what kind of paths we’ve taken since, and no matter how long we go without speaking or seeing each other, it’s like we get back and there’s this energy that’s just fantastic.”
Biggs says bringing everyone back together after so long, there could have been some tension, but everyone was genuinely happy to reconnect. “Some of us are not really friends. But it doesn’t mean we’re not friendly when we see each other. I wish I could speak ill. I’ll probably remember how irritating some of them are in the first week.”

Patrick Dempsey Says Next Season of “Grey’s” Will Be His Last
If ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy returns for a ninth season in fall 2012, star Patrick Dempsey (who plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on the show) almost certainly won’t be around. In a recent interview with the Italian version of Vanity Fair, the actor announced that the upcoming season is “gonna be my last.”
Speaking to rumors that the show’s eight season might be its final one anyway, Dempsey said, “I do not know what’s going to happen to the other characters, but for me it’s done,” according to a Tuesday TV Line story.
“It might be the last hurrah for a lot of them; you never know,” said Grey’s creator Shonda Rimes. “I really don’t know and I don’t presume to know. Everybody has an individual choice to make and I get that…. All the originals are in play.” Ellen Pompeo, who portrays Dempsey’s onscreen wife Meredith Grey, has also expressed hesitance to sign on for the hypothetical ninth season.
“I feel like Meredith and Derek are meant to be together forever, and we’re going to make sure that in the end they end up together, one would hope — unless one of them dies or something,” Rimes continued, hinting at a storyline that might be pursued before Grey’s goes black.
