Anton Gruzberg as Donald Hark, Mikhail Gusev, and Jerry Springer

Production
There were three drafts of Harold The Spy 2. During the time Harold The Spy 1 was called Harold Douglas and the Attack of the Ostrich, a film codenamed "Harold Douglas and the Attack of the Camel" came up. The plot was similar to that of Revenge of the Pink Panther, but this was canceled. A second draft, this time codenamed "Harold The Spy 2", with a plot similar to Johnny English, was written, but it was rejected, too. These two did not have the Donald Hark and Lars Lewan characters, and Anton and Kirill Gruzberg expressed interest in starring in Harold The Spy 2. After watching all three Austin Powers films, Anthony Devera wrote the third draft with a plot similar to "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" and "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me". The third draft does not have any elements from Johnny English except for the Harold Douglas character, and it has the Donald Hark and Lars Lewan characters. This draft was selected, and further developed.

Soon after the basic plot was written, it became unclear whether Anton and Kirill Gruzberg will return. Nicholas Merchant decided to replace the Donald Hark and Lars Lewan characters with new characters instead of replacing the actors for the characters. The majority of the plot was heavily changed, and due to Nicholas Merchant's involvement in writing, the plan for a semi-remake of "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" slowly faded away. However, when it was clarified that Anton and Kirill Gruzberg would return, the new plot was further modified to become what is now Harold The Rescuer, while Harold The Spy 2 went back to its original plot with some minor modifications, for example, bringing back the Antinous character instead of using The President.

Production was scheduled to start in Summer 2014. The script has been written, but Vietnam Camera has to wait until Anton and Kirill Gruzberg are available to start production. However, in July 2014, Vietnam Camera shelved the project in favor of Harold The Champion. Vietnam Camera doesn't consider the project officially canceled, but it is very unlikely that this film will ever be made.
