Kal Penn Abandons Obama To Smoke Pot During Christmas
Weíve known a new Harold & Kumar movie was coming for awhile now, but the big question hanging over A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas was whether theyíd be able to get Kal Penn involved since, Kal (who plays Kumar) quit acting about a year ago to work for Obama at the Whitehouse. Even though Pennís best known for playing a lovable stoner, the guy actually doesnít smoke weed at all and heís really more into politics than tasty, tiny burgers. Well, he was for a year anyway.
Now heís going back to the world of irresponsible drug use on screen. Deadline confirms that heís leaving his position as the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement to co-star with John Cho in A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas. And…get ready for this…Warner Bros. is considering releasing it in 3D and plan to start shooting this summer for an R-rated holiday release in 2011 or 2012.
