During a phone interview with the Mercury News, Tommy Chong provided some additional information regarding the end of plans for a Cheech and Chong reunion.
In recent weeks, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong have been attacking each other in the media. From what we can gather, Cheech feels they're too old to reunite as hippy stoners. This is one of the reasons he backed out.
On the other hand, Chong feels that Cheech considers himself an "actor" "above the comedy." He feels that Cheech is a sellout for forgetting about his comedic past.
Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong made some of the best comedic films of all time. They're legendary and the duo could easily pick up where they left off. Age will not be an issue. They should keep working on a script until they're both happy with it.
Chong says he's tried to call Cheech, but Cheech hasn't returned his calls. This is not surprising. Chong began a smear campaign shortly before the opening of Latinologues. Chong's comments were tasteless and unprofessional.
Tommy also revealed he has completed work on his book, The I Chong, which details his stint in prison. Chong says he's spent $1 million on legal fees thus far and expects to spend another mill trying to reverse the conviction.
