William Ross has been hired to score the comedy A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas. The second sequel in the series is directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson and Kal Penn, John Cho and Neil Patrick Harris are reprising their roles from the previous movies. They are joined by new cast members Patton Oswalt, Tom Lennon and Danny Trejo. Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg are once again writing the screenplay and Greg Shapiro returns as the producer. The movie follows the pair on a journey through New York City on Christmas Eve in search of the perfect Christmas tree after inadvertently burning down Harold’s father-in-law’s prize tree. Ross is the third composer working on the comedy series, following David Kitay (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) and George S. Clinton (Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay). The movie is also the first one shot in 3D. A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas is currently in post-production and is scheduled to be released on November 4, 2011.
As reported a few weeks ago, Ross also recently recorded his score for the football drama Touchback starring Kurt Russell and Brian Presley, which is also expected to come out later this year.
