harold and kumar will be back for a third movie


Harold and Kumar fans, you've got another reason to rejoice. Not only does the hit sequel Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay hit DVD shelves this week, Variety reports that the pot-smoking Korean/Indian American comedic duo will be back for a third installment. Yes. A H&K trilogy: 'Harold & Kumar' set for third puff.

Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg will return to write and direct the movie, and of course, John Cho and Kal Penn are expected to reprise their hit roles (the option was in their contracts). No details on the story. My only questions is, will NPH be back?

I suppose it was inevitable. The series thus far—particularly Guantanamo Bay—has been pretty successful, made with a relatively low budget, and earning a consideratible return at the box office. So it's no suprise they'd return to the well. Where will this next adventure take them? I like both Harold and Kumar movies, but did we really need a third one? No. But hey, why the hell not?
