Cheech and Chong Reunite for New Movie

[HARD ROCK UNIVERSE]

February 12, 2005

Comedy duo Cheech and Chong announced at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado that they are in the final stages of writing a script for a new movie, which they hope to start production sooner rather than later.

"We are working on a new movie now," Cheech Marin said. "We are nearly done with the script." Both said they would like to see the film out this year, maybe even during the summer if work progresses fast.

The film doesn't have a title yet, but Marin tossed out some possible titles: "The Lord of the Smoke Rings" and "The Passion of the Cheech and Chong." He promises "classic Cheech and Chong characters in their adventures."

Should be Fun to see!..Funny how Cheece has went from playing a Dope head to playing a cop back to the Dope head!

The first time I heard their first lp. Around 1971, I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Big Bambo was the same way. Los Cachinos is a classic everybody should have. After that?

From Daily Record...

Cheech and Chong may have joked about marijuana in their movies, but the comedians say they didn't touch the stuff when cameras were rolling.

"We tried one time and we wasted so much film," said Tommy Chong, recalling a scene in "Up in Smoke". We were in the car waiting for the cue, you know. And the camera's rolling and we're sitting there, you know, and neither one of us heard the cue.

Chong and former partner Cheech Marin appeared together for the first time in 20 years at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colo.
