In case you’ve yet to hear the news — announced in July of 2008 — yes a third movie in the Harold and Kumar saga is on the way and production on A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas is already underway as you read these words.

In March, star John Cho claimed that the movie was not only coming but coming soon with hopes of filming by June. If you’ll go ahead and check your calenders, you’ll clearly see that we are in June, making Cho’s comments rather refreshing considering how often quotes like that actually prove true. At that time, the big question mark was whether co-star Kal Penn would be able to return due to the fact that he had left his gig on House in order to take on the job of Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement for President Barack Obama.
