In case you didn’t notice – wetwired had a celebrity post on the site. Well I consider anyone who’s affiliated with the movie industry some sort of a celeb. at least. Even the janitor… ok well maybe not. Anyway in the comments section of Fnliii’s post about our Wetwired trip to see Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle, you’ll see one of the screen writers commented. In this comment he not only says ‘hi‘, but he somewhat apologizes for what happened when Fnliii asked a question that Harry Knowles completely turned around. All I can say is thanks Jon. Its not often someone comes back and sets the record straight. And its really, really rare for someone in Hollywood to come back and do it for a small time Austin website. So Kudos to you my friend you went up in my book.

In case your wondering just who this guy is, you won’t find much information out there about him YET. IMDB only has his first professional movie listed as H&K. As I understand it he is also behind some of the writing in Scary Movie 3, American Pie 3 (American Wedding) and a few others. Interesting enough as they discussed in the Q&A session after the screening they (meaning:Jon and his writing partner Hayden Schlossberg) have several more screen plays in the works. One of which they said they already had in the planning stages: Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam. The other projects they said revolved around eating at some place or drinking. You can only assume that these will be very funny comedic stories judging from the success of Harold and Kumar.

Now, for those of you looking for additional movie trailers “r” rated ones you can go here. I’m not sure whose site it is hosting these links but you’ll see something differnt here than you will from their official website.

And no. This Jon Hurwitz is not the screen writer. He just happens to have the same name.
 
Update: I got an email from Jon stating they didn’t have anything to do with American Wedding.  He did thank us for the props though. 

Just so you know, Hayden and I had no involvement in American Wedding.  I’ve read on the Internet elsewhere that we were involved, but that’s incorrect.  Thought I’d give you the correct info. – Jon

Anyway, my only regret is that I bought a movie poster – a $40 value (to have it shipped in time for the show) and I didn’t get it signed by any of them.  When we were at the show they asked everyone to please not pester for autographs.  So not wanting to be “that asshole” I took my poster and went home.
