American Wedding Movie - Adam Herz Chris Bender Interview



ADAM HERZ (Writer)

All of the guys are back except for Chris Klein. Why doesn't his character, Oz, return?
That's a fair question. I would have loved to have Chris Klein return but I had to think about it from a story perspective. What would he be doing? He fell in love in the first one. We don't want to just have him sitting there.

In ?American Pie 2,? we ran into problems because we were so concerned about getting 11 people in to the movie. I wanted to give all of them big, juicy parts. We shot it all but when it came time to make the movie, we couldn't include them all. It would have been a five-hour movie. I hope they don't take it personally.

Was there ever the thought of having Chris Klein return for a cameo at the end of ?American Wedding??
We had talked about doing cameos at the end. That's a tough question to answer. It's part of the business side of showbiz where if we wanted Chris Klein we had to fly him in from London so that we could get him for an afternoon, which means we'd have to rent a private jet. We can't spend $500,000 just to get someone there and back.

Will there be an "American Pie 4?"
Everything is possible.

Why is there a third one and what can fans expect from this movie?
I did a third one because fans want to see a third one. The audience is still in love with these characters. People saw them go through and lose their virginity, and then people saw them party together and slowly grow apart. I think much like life and your friends, you want to kind of see where they've gone and so we had to follow it up. We followed it up with them getting married, and we followed them to the bachelor party. It's kind of like your friends. You go to their bachelor party and you go to their weddings, and I think that was really the reason that this one kind of had to happen.

Are we going to see a number four? Will we see children? You know, there should be. It would be their next step, but it would probably be like in 50 years when we all can't get jobs. It'll be like Grandpa Jason Biggs? It'll be more like ?American Grandpas? or something like that.

What's next for you?
Well we have a movie coming out in February called ?The Butterfly Effect? for New Line Cinema with Ashton Kutcher. We shot that last summer with Amy Smart, Eldon Henson and William Lee Scott. Then we're working on something called ?Monster-in-Law,? which is over at New Line Cinema and it looks like it's something that Jennifer Lopez is doing. We're putting that together to shoot in November.

?Monster-in-Law?? So what's that about?
It's about a mother-in-law. The bride-to-be finds the perfect guy but then soon finds out there's also a mother that comes along with the package and that kind of screws things up.

And Jennifer Lopez would be the bride-to-be?
Yes, Jennifer Lopez would be the bride-to-be.

Who do you have in mind as the mother-in-law?
Probably Jane Fonda but we're not sure. That would be great.
