Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj

Thursday, December 01, 2005

Anyone who’s seen Van Wilder will tell you how awesomely funny it is. Kal Penn was quite hilarious and was probably one of the funniest characters in the film.

Now, Aint It Cool News brings news that a sequel is in the works: Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj!

From Hollywood Reporter:

Bauer Martinez Distribution has acquired North American distribution rights to “Van Wilder II: The Rise of Taj.” The film, being produced by Tapestry Films, is shooting in Romania. “Wilder II” is the sequel to 2002’s “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder,” which made $21 million at the boxoffice but went on to become a cult hit on DVD. The new film stars Kal Penn, who reprises his role as Taj. In the sequel, Taj heads to England’s Oxford University to further his studies while also showing the uptight student body how to have a good time.

This should indeed be most awesome, and I will be the first in line. But, thats what I said about Harold and Kumar and I didn’t see that until like a year later. That was a great movie as well.

I hope this sequel turns out just as good as the first.
