First they went to White Castle, then they escaped from Guantanamo Bay; now, everyone’s favorite stoners, Harold and Kumar, are about to have a very 3D Christmas in their third adventure, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas.

The first photo was released from the film showing Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) along with Neil Patrick Harris (playing himself) in a very festive scene (see photo above). Now, the first theatrical trailer is online and you can watch it here below.

The Total Recall remake is still over a year away, but the cast and crew were on hand in hopes of building a solid buzz for the movie early. Director Len Wiseman comes out, joined by stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Bryan Cranston, Jessica Biel, and John Cho.

Wiseman says they’re only halfway through filming (and probably shouldn’t be showing anything off yet), but they’re going to show off something anyway. Hooray for pleasing the masses!

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.

Collider recently spoke to actor John Cho on the set of his television show, Flash Forward. During their conversation, both Harold and Kumar 3 and Star Trek 2 were touched on.

Unfortunately, the next Trek doesn’t have much going on as they wait for a script to be completed, but it would appear that another Harold and Kumar could indeed be closer than we thought.

Cho says that all is moving ahead smoothly, and that they could begin filming the movie by June. He indicates that it would take place a couple of years later and that this time around the holidays will be the main backdrop for the movie. In fact, it sounds like they want to make a legit holiday Harold and Kumar flick, which would actually be pretty awesome.

While touted as being “not your father’s Star Trek,” perhaps it was actually your mother’s, because this Mother’s Day weekend, JJ Abrams‘ prequel/reboot Star Trek reportedly earned $79.2 million at the domestic box office and has broken opening weekend IMAX records.

Paramount reports that due to strong attendance on Mother’s Day yesterday — which brought in $21 million — the film exceeded expectations by $3 million. The film went into early previews on Thursday night and played in 3,849 locations.

Meanwhile, 11% of the film’s total domestic gross came from its Star Trek: The IMAX Experience showings, which brought in $8.5 million from 138 IMAX screens. The limited IMAX run registered a per screen average of approximately $62,000 for the weekend, marking the highest grossing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ever for an IMAX opening.
