<p>“Grad-student audiences can stop asking Jorge Cham when he plans to bring his comic-strip parody of academic life to the big screen. Piled Higher and Deeper: the Movie began filming a few weeks ago at the California Institute of Technology, and Mr. Cham and others involved with the project are hoping to have the comedy ready for screenings on college campuses by fall.”</p>

<p>Haha, holy cow, I hadn’t seen the people that are going to be a part of it. Meg and I co-captain a softball team every summer, and Alex is on our team.</p>

<p>I guess this filming on campus should be a bit better than, say, Greek, Numb3rs, or the casting calls they’ve had for Beauty and the Geek.</p>

<p>wow that would be fantastic!
I’ve been dwelling in Big Bang Theory. Hope they could make it into series rather than 2 hour film.</p>
