"Simon Bird has said that Channel 4 is &amp;quot;very keen&amp;quot; for an Inbetweeners Movie sequel. The actor last week distanced himself from any potential film follow-up, saying that there are no &amp;quot;concrete plans&amp;quot; to bring the comedy back to the big screen.   Speaking to ShortList, the Friday Night Dinner star admitted that another Inbetweeners film is dependent on creators Iain Morris and Damon Beesley. &amp;quot;I can tell you that I don&amp;#039;t know anything [about a sequel],&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;None of us four [actors] have ruled ourselves out, but it&amp;#039;s about whether Iain and Damon think they can make it as good as the first one. &amp;quot;I know they&amp;#039;re currently trying to think of ideas, and Channel 4 and everyone else are obviously very keen for it to happen.&amp;quot;  Asked if he is still in touch with his Inbetweeners co-stars Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison, Bird replied: &amp;quot;I see Joe all the time, obviously, but we all try to meet up every couple of months. &amp;quot;We have a brotherly relationship because we grew up doing that show and shared that experience of becoming famous together. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a very deep bond. When we meet up, we immediately fall back into a relationship which is sort of based on our Inbetweeners characters. We&amp;#039;re far more mature with our other friends than we are when it&amp;#039;s just the four of us together.&amp;quot; Reports recently surfaced claiming that Morris and Beesley were working on a second big screen instalment for The Inbetweeners. The 2011 comedy broke records at the UK box office, netting \u00C2\u00A345 million during its summer cinema run.
