"Harold & Kumar" writers line up next feature
26/9/2008 10:20

The creators of the "Harold & Kumar" franchise have smoked out a new project.

Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who wrote "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and wrote and directed "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay," will write and direct the comedy "'Til Beth Do Us Part" for Warner Bros.

The feature will focus on two twentysomething males whose close friendship is put to the test when one of them becomes engaged.

The movie will share some elements with the stoner franchise for which the writer-directors are known -- not least the comedic bond between two young males -- but will contain fewer zany flourishes than "Harold & Kumar."

"Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" became a crossover hit for New Line in 2004. Hurwitz and Schlossberg are signed to write the third movie in the franchise, with an option to direct.
