Collider caught up with actor John Cho and quizzed him about the proposed Very Harold & Kumar Christmas film, as well as a tiny bit of Star Trek. They have bullet pointed the details for us A.D.D. inclined:
Harold and Kumar News
* looks like it is happening
* script has been turned in
* we catch up a little bit later in Harold and Kumar’s lives
* takes place over the holiday season
* this could be a legit holiday movie
* the intent is to honor the holiday traditional style of movies
* doesn’t know if there is an issue with Kal Penn
* studio tells him they’re moving forward on it
* no director yet
* confirms theatrical release
* thinks the movie is still on track to come out this Christmas
* Neil Patrick Harris is supposed to be in it
* Says they are not living together anymore…film jumps forward a few years
* Plan is to film the movie during his hiatus – thinks filming in June
* meeting with directors right now
* Still figuring out if there are complications with Kal’s scheduleStar Trek sequel update
* Heard they are still working on the script
* Hasn’t heard anything about the villain yet
* Has he tried to pitch anything for Sulu
* We talk about the lens flares and what did he think about them
I like how they have nothing more on Star Trek to talk to him about so they discuss the Lens Flares! I loved Star Trek, but I could do without all those obnoxious glares.
I am looking forward to a Harold & Kumar film, but I worry that NPH who has them to thank in part to his more recent rise to popularity (That NPH, He’s so hot right now) will outshine them in their own film.
