Chris Klein joins American Reunion

Casting News, News, Projects

People Magazine has reported that Chris Klein has decided to join American Reunion, the fourth film in the American Pie franchise to hit theatres.

Set to reprise his role as Chris “Oz” Ostreicher, is “very excited to reunite with the original cast.” With Sean William Scott, Jason Biggs, Eugene Levy and Alyson Hannigan returning, this just leaves Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Shannon Elizabeth, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Jennifer Coolidge left of principal members from the original film cast still not signed on for the sequel. All but Elizabeth are rumored to be in talks.

Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg of Harold and Kumar go to Guantanamo Bay are set to write & direct the film, which goes into production May 24 for a January 7, 2012 release.

What does it mean? Well, considering I imagine Klein isn’t sitting around waiting for a Street Fighter sequel it makes sense that Klein would jump for this. He hasn’t been able to find a film that’s been altogether successful outside of the American Pie franchise so its reasonable he’d jump onto this. He isn’t a big enough star not to.
