Harold And Kumar Aren't Going To Amsterdam

Don't worry -- a new Harold and Kumar movie is definitely in the works, and although it sounds like they will try to go to Amsterdam, it doesn't look like they're going to make it (from Production Weekly):

John Cho and Kal Penn are set to reprise their roles as stoners in the sequel to “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.” The screenplay is by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who penned the original script and will co-direct the sequel. Production is planned for a late January start date in Shreveport, Louisiana. “Harold & Kumar 2,” follows the cross-country adventure of the pot-smoking duo as they try to outrun the authorities after being suspected as terrorists when they try to sneak a bong on board a flight to Amsterdam.

This sounds like a good way to go. I originally assumed that the second movie would take place in Amsterdam, but I wondered how they'd build any tension if the film was set there (given that pot is legal in Amsterdam).

Of course, they could still call the movie "Harold and Kumar Go To Amsterdam" and have them actually reach that city at the end of the film -- just like they finally made it to White Castle at the end of the first movie.

And speaking of Kal Penn, it looks like he has a role in the new season of 24.
