After posting yesterday's story on the reshooting of Best Buds, we found this article from Canada's Online Explorer (Canoe) magazine which provides more detail, as well as an interview with Tommy Chong.
The article dated September 12th, 2000 states that the lawsuit against Coyote Films was settled out of court and that Tommy Chong is now in possession of the original reels. He planned on reshooting the film by the year's end (2000). The status of the proposed re-shoot is unknown.
In the article, Tommy refuses to reveal who the new Cheech is. He only says that he's a longtime friend and that his name is Francisco. As mentioned in our earlier article, we discovered that Cheech will be played by newcomer, Francisco Vasquez. He previously played a salsa dancer in a movie named Dance With Me.
