Details On The Reunion Movie

People keep asking for the latest information regarding the Cheech and Chong reunion movie.

Here's what we know:

  • The current working title of the movie is Get Blunt.
  • New Line Cinema will be releasing it.
  • Shooting was set to begin summer 2004, but will be delayed by as much as year because of Tommy's legal woes.
  • New Line Cinema says that the project will not be cancelled as a result of Chong's incarceration.
  • New Line Cinema is presently looking for a director, as well as someone to pen the script.
  • Cheech and Chong wrote the storyline together and had a great time doing it.
  • The storyline: Pedro and Man invent a hair restoration marijuana lotion, but don't recall which marijuana they used. They go on a road trip testing and smoking numerous crops of marijuana, trying to find the type they used. All the while, they are being chased by law enforcement officials, who want to bust them, and the pharmaceutical companies that want the recipe.
  • The original script penned by Tommy's two daughters was hysterical. However, Tommy and Cheech felt the premise was unrealistic...Man was a drug counselor in this script.
