Metcalfe Wants ‘John Tucker’ Costar Reunion

Jesse Metcalfe says he would like to reunite with Arielle Kebbel, Penn Badgley and Brittany Snow, his former costars in the 2006 teen comedy John Tucker Must Die. Metcalfe confirmed that a sequel script exists at 20th Century Fox and said he likes it and believes audiences remain interested, though the project has lost momentum. Kebbel had been developing the follow-up with the original cast involved, but the studio shelved it after its post-writers’ strike plans changed; she has said the pause is not necessarily permanent. Metcalfe remains open to returning but is uncertain whether the sequel will ultimately be made.
