Thomas Lennon Talks Harold & Kumar 3

The third installment in the Harold & Kumar franchise titled A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas 3D is currently filming in Michigan for a now confirmed holiday 2011 release date. Collider was lucky enough to sit down with one of the new cast members joining the franchise. Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!) revealed the release date confirmation as well as a ton of other awesome plot details.

In reference to the use of 3D in the film which is a rare occurrence in comedies Lennon gave great explanations:

"I hope they make people sign some kind of waiver because if their mind explodes from my acting in 3D, it’s not my fault. Never has there been a comedy where so many bongs and boners and boobs get pointed out right into your face.

"This is a film that is begging to be in 3D. In fact, if it weren’t in 3D, I wonder if it would be getting made at all, but certain …you know this was a movie that was just waiting for the technology to catch up."

"I think when people Harold and Kumar in 3D it’s going to be a full visceral experience not unlike seeing Avatar with a bunch of dudes smoking pot and some naked nuns taking a shower, which is what I believe they’re filming today. In fact I know for a fact that’s what they’re filming today because I happen to not be on-set today and it’s kind of a bummer."

He also described the new character he'll be playing in the film. He's Harolds new best friend and refers to his character as the anti-Kumar. If you're not aware already the film takes place six years later when Harold and Kumar are no longer friends. He also added:

"he is a douchey, uptight white person which is something that I really truly excel at on my resume. Douchey, vaguely kind of creepy, uptight honky."

"The film begins and I am the new Kumar. And I think the intention is that the audience be wildly disappointed that Harold’s new best friend is me."

Confirming a bit of somewhat obvious news he also confirmed there would be an extreme amount of pot and nudity, as expected.

"I think I can say that…without there being too many spoiler alerts, there’s a tremendous amount of pot in the movie and a lot of nudity. And I’m a part of some of it, yes."

Well with everything we already knew and now with the reassuring info from Lennon this sounds all kinds of awesome. Not that I expected anything less of this franchise. For the full interview go HERE.
