AMERICAN
PIE 6
American Pie Presents: Beta House
Since I lost track of these weak, straight-to-DVD
American Pie sequels at some point after the fourth
installment, I'm kind of going at this with a blind
eye. Apparently, a direct sequel to last year's
American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile is already in
the works (making it the sixth Pie-related film to hit
the streets), with pre-production taking place in
Toronto as we speak. American Pie Presents: Beta House
will feature the same four dudes (John White, Ross
Thomas, Jake Siegel and Steve Talley) from Naked Mile,
only this time they're all grown up and heading to
college. Beta House? College? Hmm, I smell a
frat-related teen sex comedy heading our way.
In fact, that's exactly what happens. Pic centers on
Erik Stifler and his cousin Dwight Stifler (who, I
imagine, are both cousins of the original Steve
Stifler). Upon entering college, Erik (apart from his
name ending in a 'K,' sadly, the two of us have
nothing in common) joins the Beta House, lands a
girlfriend and goes to war against the evil GEK house
who -- you guessed it -- are out to destroy the weaker
frats with their money, brains and guys named Bret.
Right now, casting is underway for Erik's main squeeze
Ashley. Moviehole describes her as being "super cute,
confident, together, instantly comfortable in the new
collegiate surroundings, she is a catch." Basically,
she's every girl that wouldn't date you in college.
Andrew Walker will direct, with Joel Soisson and Keith
Birder producing. No word on whether Eugene Levy will
once again make his "purely for the money" cameo.
Anyone out there actually watch The Naked Mile? Is it
any good? Are these American Pie Presents flicks worth
a spot on my Netflix queue?
