JoBlo caught up Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, writers of “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle”, who talked about the abundance of future projects they’ve got in the works, including a sequel to the former. “Well, we have several projects in the works. We have The Wingman going at Newline. That’s an original of ours about a guy who can hook any guy up with any girl at a bar and does this for a living. He’s the ultimate wingman. John Whitesell signed on to direct last week, so we’re currently moving on to the casting phase. We did a page one rewrite for MGM recently on a spoof of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, currently titled Harry Trotter: Lord of the Balls. We absolutely love the work we did on this script and hope it’ll be the next Space Balls. MGM is working aggressively to put that movie together as soon as possible. We are currently writing the sequel to Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, entitled Harold & Kumar Go To Amsterdam. Getting that first movie made was a dream come true. Working on the sequel is even more surreal. After that, we’re writing another original for Senator called The Gym Teacher. It’s about a guy who was the big popular ******* in his high school growing up, but whose life goes downhill in the years after. That is until his old high school football coach offers him the opportunity to be the new gym teacher at his old high school. We absolutely love all the ideas we have for this movie and this may be the first film we direct. We also just made our first producing deal on a project written by a very talented writer and one of our best friends, Josh Heald. It’s called Open Bar and we set it up at New Line. Other than that, we’re taking on production rewrites when we have the time and we’re developing a slew of ideas for us to write, produce, and/or direct in the future.”
On the side of the hamburger box, they have little sayings. The best ever was: Munchies without the cheese is just mun, and that's not right at all. White Castle is the greatest drunk food ever. I've had a couple of hangovers averted thanks to some sliders. It was a great breakfast at 5:00am last Thanksgiving when I had to drop RM95's Fiancee off at O'Hare.
Wow I didn't even know the name of the sequel... I just threw out something that a stoner would name it. Lol. Thanks for the verification drapg
Is there any particular reason they're called "sliders"??? I think I have an inkling, but I'm not sure.
NPH was an excellent addition to the movie. I also thought that the FOB Asian dude with the shirt off throwing hash around at the Chinese Bible group party was damn funny.
you're overthinking... i think they're called sliders because they're really small, so they slide right down your throat.
Doh! "White Castle Fries Only Come in One Size" seriously, those burgers are nasty. its the little chunks of onion tenderized into the meat that turn me off.
The director also directed "Dude, Where's My Car?"--I loved his homage to himself toward the end when they met up with NPH again. And I was nearly in tears during the Wilson Phillips singalong: "Don't you know, things will change, things will go your way, if you hooooold on for one more day, just hooooold onnnnnnnn."
he's been working consistently, doing alot of theatre work, most notably in the Broadway revival of Cabaret. but he was also in Starship Troopers and Undercover Brother, oth roles were pretty funny. I met him once and had dinner with him, he's a nice fellow.
Doogie Howser M.D. was the shiznite for sure. The only thing that I remember is him typing on his diary on the computer. If the movie says anything, it looks like the man still gets plenty of booty.
Whatitdo PipdAdy33... damn straight im a stoner lol. I can't wait until post 420 it will definately be time to celebrate my man.
About the movie and not grossing for as greast as it is, I think that can be attributable to the other 2 new movies. I know at AMC 30 on Dunvale it got the screw job and wasn't on a big screen.
