It’s time to light up again! MTV is moving ahead with a sequel to the cult hit, How High. MTV has teamed up with Universal 1440 Entertainment for a non-theatrical movie followup to the 2001 Universal comedy feature, which starred Method Man and Redman.
In the update, written by Artie Johann and Shawn Ries (Family Guy), two young but business-savvy stoners embark on a pot-filled odyssey through Atlanta to find their missing weed, only to uncover a vast government conspiracy.
The 2001 How High movie, written by Dustin Lee Abraham and directed by Jesse Dylan, starred Redman and Method Man as two underachieving pot smokers who, after smoking a batch of marijuana they had fertilized with the ashes of their deceased friend, ace their college exams and end up at Harvard University.
What’s a bit unclear is if Redman or Method Man will be involved as this seems to be more of a reboot than a direct sequel. I’m guessing they will be involved in some capacity but it hasn’t been revealed yet. The sequel begins shooting in Atlanta later this summer.
