Stars Up For New Film :'Wet Hot American Summer' Prequel
When director David Wain let loose the news that he was in the planning stages of a prequel to his star-studded, cult classic comedy "Wet Hot American Summer," fans were ecstatic, but perhaps a bit doubtful that it would really happen. After all, would stars like Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks really want to go back and do that?
Rudd and Banks, along with a number of other co-stars from the 2001, 1980s-set camp film, told Entertainment Weekly with great enthusiasm that they'd be up to return to their roles -- and that there's already been talk about it.
"It's been discussed over the last decade in various forms and incarnations," Rudd told EW. "I think we would all be up for doing it."
Rudd also that he'd work for basically free, something he'd have to do given the last film's budget of $1.8 million.
Banks was even more excited about the possibility of a summer camp reunion.
"Look, any chance to get that group of people all together in a room I will take," the actress said. "It's been such a blessing on my life that I got to be included in that circle of people."
