Harold & Kumar to get another sequel! Creators of the cult classic stoner film confirm; everything to know
Remember Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle? (2004) Well, everyone's favourite stoner cult classic is now getting a fourth part as the creators behind Netflix's Cobra Kai — Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald — have officially signed on to write a new installment of the franchise. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will also direct the film, which is currently in development under Lionsgate's Mandate Pictures. It's a homecoming of sorts for the duo, whose Hollywood careers were launched by scripting the 2004 original and then directing its 2008 follow-up, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. The franchise also boasts a third film — A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson. John Cho and Kal Penn, who famously played the uptight Harold Lee and the carefree Kumar Patel, are expected to return, but no contracts have been finalised. Neil Patrick Harris, who played a drugged-up, fictionalised version of himself in the series, has not yet been confirmed either. The original Harold & Kumar film, directed by Danny Leiner, follows the two unlikely best friends as they embark on a late-night quest for White Castle burgers. Fueled by marijuana and munchies, they stumble into absurd scenarios, from racist cops and escaped cheetahs to a drug-fueled Neil Patrick Harris joyride. While the announcement has stirred up excitement among nostalgic fans, not everyone is sold on the idea of a fourth film. 'The first one was great. The second one was mostly boring but had a few funny moments. The third one is absolute trash. I'm not particularly excited for a fourth movie,' one fan admitted on X. Others speculated about the plot, guessing everything from an ICE-themed satire to Harold & Kumar's midlife crisis. But most expressed confusion over the announcement coming before the leads had officially signed on. 'Weird to announce it when the two stars haven't signed deals,' one user pointed out. 'They must be very close or Kal and John have a leg up in negotiations and the studio's pressuring them by announcing it,' reasoned another. For many, the idea of seeing Harold and Kumar return, even to a suburban nightmare instead of a burger joint, is enough to spark some cautious excitement.

David Fincher might revive ‘Mindhunter' as a Netflix trilogy, reveals actor Holt McCallany
After years of fan requests, filmmaker David Fincher's critically acclaimed psychological crime thriller series, Mindhunter, might return soon, in a different format. Actor Holt McCallany, who starred as FBI agent Bill Tench in the series, has revealed that the project might be revived as a trilogy of films on Netflix. 'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance,' McCallany said in an interview with CBR. 'I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts,' added the star. Stating that he felt fortunate and privileged for being a part of Mindhunter, McCallany added that 'the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align' for the project to materialise. 'So I think that in terms of dates and logistics, it could all be worked out, but it has to do, you know, with David really having the time and the inclination and being happy, you know, with the material. And, you know, that's a big question mark,' he said. Mindhunter, based on the book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, premiered on Netflix in 2017. Set in the 1970s, it followed a special F.B.I. team helmed by agents Bill Tench (McCallany) and Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) that investigates the minds of serial killers. The second season of the show, which debuted in August 2019, contained hints about a plotline for a possible third season with the cliffhanger of the show featuring the BTK killer. However, the show wasn't renewed for a third season, with Fincher revealing that the show was a 'costly endeavour' for him and that it was too expensive for the viewership it had. In an interview with Vulture, Fincher said, 'I honestly don't think we're going to be able to do it for less than I did season two. And on some level, you have to be realistic about dollars have to equal eyeballs.' The director further said that the show was a 'lot for me' as he spent six to seven months a year for over three years in Pittsburgh in order to work on the series. Despite Fincher's statements, fans of the show have been requesting Netflix and the filmmaker to revive the series, and McCallany's statement might just be ray of hope they were looking for. Notably, McCallany and Fincher are set to reunite for the filmmaker's upcoming Netflix feature, The Adventures of Cliff Booth. The film, written by Quentin Tarantino, expands on the world of one of his most memorable characters from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
