Kal Penn Still Wants to Make Harold & Kumar 4 Set in Outer Space

Kal Penn wants Harold & Kumar 4 to be set in space. So far, the Harold & Kumar film series consists of three movies, each as bizarre as the last. The films star John Cho as Harold Lee and Penn as Kumar Patel as the two embark on one misadventure after another.

Although the third Harold & Kumar film – titled A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas – came out back in 2011, Penn is more than ready to make a fourth movie, with Cho already on board with his co-star. According to Penn, he’s already gotten the green light from both Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who wrote the three previous movies. While it isn’t clear what the potential fourth film will be about, Cho has supposedly already pitched ideas to creators as early as a few years back.

In an interview with Uproxx, Kal Penn highlights that he wants Harold & Kumar 4 to take place in space. When asked by the interviewer, Penn revealed that he’s interested in a space setting, saying, “Oh man, look, all my tattoos are astronomy-related, so I kinda like the idea of going to the space station.” The interviewer also joked that the stoners could beat Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel to space, to which Penn explained:

“Oh no, Tom Cruise will beat us! It’s a little tricky with scheduling because they guys who created the franchise are created the Cobra Kai show, and John Cho is in New Zealand to do a movie, and I’m about to start Clarice, the Silence Of The Lambs remake, so I am hoping soon. We keep constantly talking about it, but we just have to find the right time.”

Despite Penn’s ambitions, he highlights that scheduling will certainly be an issue in getting the Harold & Kumar gang back together. More specifically, the franchise’s creators are currently working on Cobra Kai, which means they are otherwise preoccupied. In addition, Cho is shooting for a film in New Zealand, with Penn himself gearing up to start working on CBS’ series Clarice, which will be a remake of the psychological horror film Silence of the Lambs. Despite their busy schedules, though, it seems Penn is determined to bring Harold & Kumar 4 to life, even if it may take a bit of calendar juggling to make this dream a reality.

While the Harold & Kumar franchise quickly became a fan favorite thanks to the quirky humor and wacky storylines, the series has had planned projects scrapped in the past. For one, an animated Harold & Kumar series was supposed to follow the pair on more of their adventures, although it was never developed. As a result, despite Cho and Penn’s blossoming careers, fans hope that they’ll be able to see Harold and Kumar in at least one more adventure – and having it take place in the Final Frontier would simply be icing on top.
