Overview
- Producer Greg Shapiro told reporters at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on Tuesday that a fourth Harold & Kumar movie is “on track” and that the screenplay is currently being written.
- Shapiro said the principal actors and the original creative team are expected to return, with the writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg set to direct from a script written with Josh Heald.
- The project reunites producers and companies tied to the earlier films, including Shapiro, Mandate Pictures, Nathan Kahane and the creators’ Counterbalance Entertainment banner, with Lionsgate previously linked as a distributor.
- No firm production start date has been announced because shooting depends on finishing the script, securing financing and aligning cast and crew schedules.
- The franchise has a devoted cult following and three prior films that together grossed about $104 million worldwide, and the new development could affect streaming and theatrical plans as producers finalize financing and timing.
