Jeff Garlin appeared at press junket for the new Pixar film WALL-E, in which he stars. Chud.com reports Jeff had to say this about a seventh season of Curb:
The earliest we would be on the air would be a year from now, and I’m guessing a year from this fall.
Let me just tell you what Curb Your Enthusiasm is like for me and Larry. We do all first drafts - there’s no rewriting, it’s all first drafts. When we get to the set, let’s say it’s a scene where Larry and I are driving somewhere, talking about something. They’ll say ‘Speed,’ meaning the sound and cameras are ready to go, and I’ll turn to Larry and say, ‘What’s this scene about?’ He’ll say ‘I don’t remember.’ We’ll call over the AD, who has a small version of the script, and we’ll look at it and say ‘Oh, okay.’ So I won’t know until I’m filming that day. I mean, I read the outlines in advance, but I forget them by the time we go into production.
MoviesOnline have a transcript of an interview with Jeff, though he doesn’t discuss Curb.
This will be very welcome news for a lot of fans. Jeff Garlin talked to Vern Glenn from KRON 4 in late March, yet somehow the interview has eluded all of the entertainment sites and even me for a couple months.
Here is the video in full:
Jeff can’t say when we can expect season 7, but he does confirm Larry is writing it! At the time of the interview Larry was working on the second episode and was about to fly to New York to start filming with Woody Allen. He’s since finished filming so let’s hope he has continued writing. More news will follow as I learn it, but I hope this confirmation brings a smile to a lot of the fans who have been commenting about how badly they want a seventh season.
