The three-film journey of stoner buddies Harold & Kumar began back in 2004, with a seemingly casual quest to sate their desire for White Castle burgers, and at this point, the fact that Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle spawned a franchise is sort of a part of the joke.  The holiday-themed second sequel will apparently contain what purports to be the first-ever shot of marijuana smoke in 3D.

That's right, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas will be in 3D.  I applaud the use of an extra dimension as a happy novelty, which so far is the best use of the format.  Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who wrote both previous movies and directed the first sequel are once again responsible for the screenplay.  Todd Strauss-Schulson directs this time out, as Hurwitz and Schlossberg are busy directing another franchise sequel featuring John Cho: American Reunion.

Paula Garces and Daneel Harris return as their respective love interests, and as always, Harold and Kumar will meet a variety of odd characters on their journey.  Actors personifying these strange individuals in the new film include Patton Oswalt, Elias Koteas, Thomas Lennon, and Danny Trejo, as well as Eddie Kaye Thomas and David Krumholtz as Rosenberg and Goldstein.

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas hits in 3D on November 4th.
