'Harold & Kumar' duo set new project

September 25, 2008 Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who wrote "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" and wrote and directed "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay," will write and direct " 'Til Beth Do Us Part," a comedy that has been set up at Warner Bros. The movie will share some elements with the stoner franchise for which the writer-directors are known -- most notably, the comedic bond between two young males -- but will be more grounded and contain fewer of its zany flourishes. The pair emerged when "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" became a crossover hit for New Line in 2004, and they are now signed on to write the third movie in the franchise with an option to direct.
