Community fans will be delighted to hear that Community may be resurrected… again.

The show that always finds a way to audiences’ television and laptop screens will likely be turned into a movie, according to star Joel McHale.

“I think we will do a movie if [writer Dan Harmon] will write the script,” he told Conan O’Brien on Monday night.
