Sad news, folks. Were seeing reports on Facebook that Danny Leiner, the director of the beloved comedies Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and Dude, Wheres My Car? has passed away following a long illness.
Leiner got his start with the well-received short films My Birthday Cake and Time Expired, which led him to make his feature debut with the 1996 comedy Layin Low starring Jeremy Piven and Edie Falco. Four years later, he was tapped to direct the Ashton Kutcher-Seann William Scott comedy Dude, Wheres My Car?, where he also worked with a young Jennifer Garner. The film grossed $73 million worldwide on a $13 million budget, proving to be a modest hit for 20th Century Fox, though a much-rumored sequel failed to materialize.

Dude, Where’s My Hearse?
I see what you did there.
57 is way too young
It is. I am 56666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666677))),,..
It’s probably a good thing that I haven’t a clue about the newly deceased or the shows he was involved with.
Consider it a personal journey of good taste.
“Passed away after a long illness..” Not common at age 56-57.
My his body rest in peace, may his soul go where he chose.
If your greatest cinematic laurel is a movie called “Dude, Where’s My Car?”, I don’t think you should headline your obit with it.
Seriously? I still that that scam of Woodward/Bernstein was the ruin of j-schools.
"Harold & Kumar" at least has White Castle, something a lot of people could relate to.
RIP.
The MSM is so desperate for "news" they constantly post stories about what people share on twitter or what some unheard of model is wearing.
Hell some golfer filmed a snake and it's national news. More reason why I tune it out when I can. Ok, rant off.
though a much-rumored sequel failed to materialize.
Dodged a bullet there.
