And now the American Pie gang are returning to wreak more havoc for a fourth helping of the movie franchise.
Jason Biggs, Sean William Scott and Eddie Kaye Thomas were among the actors yesterday filming the comedy in Atlanta Georgia.
Back in business: Jason Biggs is suited and booted as Jim on set They reprise their roles as Jim, Finch and Stiffler in the new film, which sees the old gang return to East Great Falls for their 10-year high school reunion.

Sean William Scott's bad boy character Stiffler will still have no luck with women and is working as an office temp, while Oz (Chris Klein) became a contestant on a TV show and now lives in a huge mansion.

But there was no sign of rumoured stars Tara Reid and Mena Suvari or Hannigan, who has signed on for the sequel.
Purple lady: Katrina Bowden plays Oz's glamorous girlfriend in the new film'With the first one, they had put some sort of sequel clause in my contract and I was like, "Ah, I wouldn’t be in a sequel,"' the actress recently told The Huffington Post.
'There’s no way. My character leaves at the end of the movie, so even if there was a sequel, I wouldn’t be in it.’ And here we are.'
However, the star is happy to be reunited with her cast mates, who have become friends over the years.

'It’s my second day of shooting, but already it’s been such a blast and I can tell it’s going to be really, really funny.'
The film has been slated for release next spring in the U.S.
