    Donald Glover Plots 'Community' Movie That Tracks Down Missing Troy Barnes

    The ‘Atlanta’ actor has pitched his idea for a big-screen spinoff project during online reunion for charity and received positive feedback from his co-stars.
    May 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Donald Glover pitched his idea for spin-off movie to his old “Community” castmates during a reunion table read on Monday, May 18, 2020.
    The one-off special saw Glover reuniting with his castmates Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong as well as creator Dan Harmon to help Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen and Frontline Foods’ Covid-19 relief efforts.
    During the reunion, the “Atlanta” star pitched an idea for a film in which Abed Nadir, the character played by Pudi, would go out in search of his own character Troy Barnes – who is considered dead or lost at sea after being captured by pirates during season five.

    “I like movies like that,” Glover said, “What am I doing, writing the movie on the fly or something?”
    Pudi agreed, adding, “I love the idea of Troy being lost and Abed’s mission is to go find him, try to track someone down – that would be fun.”
    The rest of the cast also raised their hands in support of the idea of a new movie although Glover said the start of production could be some way off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal also took part in the table read, filling in for Walton Goggins, who was not available to reprise his character, Mr. Stone.

      Donald Glover and 'Community' Cast Snub Chevy Chase for Online Reunion

      by

      NBC

      The ‘Community’ cast members are going to reunite for a virtual table read without Chevy Chase who was fired from the show due to his increasingly aggressive and racist antics.
      May 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Donald Glover is reuniting with his “Community” co-stars for a virtual table read, marking his first “Community” cast event since leaving the show.
      According to Vulture, the two-time Emmy winner, who played Troy Barnes in the NBC sitcom, will join his former co-stars for a virtual table read of an episode from the show, as well as a special Q&A session, on May 18, 2020.
      Glover will be joined by castmates Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong, and creator Dan Harmon as they revisit the show, about a study group of unlikely friends at a community college, which ended in 2015 after a six-year run.
      The only member of the original cast who won’t return is Chevy Chase, who once reportedly told Glover, “People think you’re funnier because you’re black.”
      For the reunion, the cast will be reading season five, episode four, “Cooperative Polygraphy”, which takes place after the death Chase’s character Pierce Hawthorne, and was the second-to-last episode Glover would appear in before his character exited the show.
      The table read will stream live at 5 P.M. ET on the “Community” YouTube page, raising money for Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen and Frontline Food, both of which are involved in Covid-19 relief efforts to provide meals to first responders and vulnerable communities across the U.S.
      The cast most recently reunited last November, without both Glover and Chase, for Vulture Festival.
