American Pie franchise has delivered another slice of nostalgia this week with a throwback to 1999′s original poster.

Even though Jim Levinstein (Jason Biggs) has clothes on, Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) is has swapped her flute for a baby bottle, Oz (Chris Klein) has a receding hairline and although he’s not in the poster, everyone’s favourite neurotic Dad (Eugene Levy) is aboard also.

According to Collider, here is the synopsis: “In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.”

We all remember the franchise’s last attempt, with the direct-to-DVD release of “American Pie Presents Band Camp” in 2005. The only original character in the stereotypical college crap-fest film was Jim’s dad.

However, the previous three “American Pie” movies grossed a total of roughly $755 million at the worldwide box office. The first of the series, 1999?s “American Pie,” grossed $235 million and had an $11 million budget. The second, 2001′s “American Pie 2,” took in $287 million and had a $30 million budget. The third, 2003′s “American Wedding,” grossed $231 million and had a $55 million budget.

“Harold & Kumar’s” Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg also wrote and directed the film – that includes the entire beloved cast of Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Seann William Scott, Natasha Lyonne, Jennifer Coolidge – and yes, even Tara Reid.

Mark your calendars for April 6, 2012 and check out the original poster for comparison:

“A Couple of Dicks,” director Kevin Smith’s upcoming buddy action-comedy starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, has added two more to its cast.

The movie revolves around a maverick cop (Willis) and his partner (Morgan) as they go on the hunt for a valuable baseball card that has been stolen.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Seann William Scott (“Role Models”) has signed on to play a thief known as the Shit Bandit for the “souvenirs” he leaves behind at crime scenes.

Also joining the cast is Adam Brody (“In The Land of Women,” TV’s “The O.C.”), who will play a prickly detective less-than-pleased about having to work with the titular dicks/detectives.

The script was penned by Robb and Mark Cullen, whose credits include the TV shows “Las Vegas” and “Heist.” It marks the first time that Smith, the filmmaker behind such movies as “Chasing Amy,” “Dogma” and, most recently, “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” is helming a feature that he didn’t also write.

The movie begins shooting in New York on Monday.

“A Couple of Dicks” isn’t slated for release until 2010, but fans can catch Scott (or at least his voice) in the upcoming sequel “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.” Meanwhile, Brody will next appear in the indie drama “Death in Love” and the dark comedy “Jennifer’s Body.”
