Suck My Big Hard Camp: Wet Hot American Summer Sequel Is On!

With both Arrested Development and Party Down returning as movies, we are now officially living in a golden age of cult comedy resurrections. So it's appropriate to learn that everyone's favorite summer camp parody, Wet Hot American Summer, will also "absolutely" be coming back for a sequel. "Yes, 100 percent yes," Michael Showalter said on Watch What Happens Live. "The whole gang, everyone's doing it." Funny enough, "Everyone's Doing It" sounds exactly like one of the rejected titles for the film.

Last year, director David Wain gave an idea of what the plot might be: "The prequel would be the same summer," Wain said, "so it would be 40-year-olds playing 16-year-olds. And yeah, we're in the early stages of thinking about that." It would be pretty impressive if they were able to get that whole illustrious comedy crew back for another film, considering that many of them now have much larger careers, including Amy Poehler, Paul Rudd and Bradley Cooper.

Catch up with our interviews with Wain, Showalter, and fellow stars Michael Ian Black and Janeane Garofalo. Below, check out the trailer for the film, as well as our favorite scene from the movie that was almost called, Tits and Taco Day.

    I found the original to be really terrible.  I don't remember laughing once.
