Dan Harmon’s finally crossing the finish line on theCommunitymovie script! Yep, you heard that right—the man behind Greendale’s shenanigans is almost done with the script for the highly anticipated film. He confirmed (viaVariety):
I can confirm Donald Glover’s report that I told him the script was done, but I will also say Donald’s sources are so unreliable because the script is always ‘almost done.
