Harold and Kumar

In case you missed it, the red band trailer for "A Very Harold And Kumar 3D Christmas" debuted over at IGN yesterday. And in watching the two minutes and twenty seconds of very explicit, drug-fueled action, never was there a more appropriate movie to garner the red band label.

As is custom with the adventures of Harold and Kumar, there are drugs, sex, violence and my personal favorite, Neil Patrick Harris. MTV News was lucky enough to get a few moments on the phone with Harold himself, John Cho, to discuss the magic of the trailer and what more we can expect from the full length film.

Read on after the jump to find out what Cho had to say about infant drug use, NPH and the film's boob count.

Zach BraffWhen James Franco sets sail for the wonderful land of "Oz," he won't be alone.

Deadline reports that "Scrubs" star and "Garden State" mastermind Zach Braff is joining the cast of Sam Raimi's "Oz the Great and Powerful," the Disney reimagining of the classic L. Frank Baum tale. He'll play, curiously enough, Frank, Oz's loyal yet unappreciated assistant. He joins a cast that includes Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams.

There's more casting news past the jump, including new additions to "Total Recall" and Seth Rogen's latest!

Buffy the Vampire SlayerJoss Whedon isn't the only one out there with an opinion on the new "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot from Warner Bros. Former "Buffy" actress Amber Benson contributed some perspective yesterday with a possible explanation for the current situation.

On a more serious note, tension between North Korea and South Korea has been on a lot of minds today after the North shelled the island of Yeonpyeong, killing two soldiers. John Cho was among those hoping for a peaceful outcome, while elsewhere Damon Lindelof shared his own thoughts on resolving disputes. He's retweeted below, along with fears about Thanksgiving and a thank-you note to Jessica Simpson's surprise chicken-soup benefactor.

Wil Wheaton summed up the reactions of gamers everywhere today when 2K Games revealed at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle that a playable version of the epically delayed game "Duke Nukem Forever" would be playable for the show.

Others in Twitter-Wood were more concerned with movies, which is appropriate since that's where they make their money. Kristen Bell has been prodding at her followers to tell Warner Bros. they want to see a "Veronica Mars" movie, Ashton Kutcher checked out the "Family Guy" take on "Return of the Jedi," and Rainn Wilson discussed a remake of "The Rocker." Check out what he'd like to do with that down below and see who's going to a midnight screening of "Machete."

Just as Kal Penn predicted on Tuesday, "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" has wrapped and he, John Cho and writer Jon Hurwitz all got sentimental about their history together on Twitter. Actually, Hurwitz dedicated an entire tweet to Neil Patrick Harris, which may be indicative of where his heart really lies, but you can be the judge down below.

In un-related tweets, Ice-T has been playing "Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days," and spoke up with his reactions. John Stamos discussed his "Glee" appearance, and Brian Lynch chided America for spending money on "Vampires Suck." Find out who you agree with after the jump, as well as who ran into Brandy recently.

A federal judge's decision to overturn California's Prop 8 ban on gay marriage yesterday caught the attention of Twitter-Wood and the rest of the Internet. Kristen Bell and Eliza Dusku both approved of the development, while Dax Shepard was concerned that his anti-Prop 8 sentiments may have resulted in the loss of his account's "Verified" status. Elizabeth Banks made a similar discovery, though she didn't link its disappearance to Prop 8 and appears to be Verified once again, as of the the time I wrote this.

In other tweeting, Paris Hilton met Sandra Bullock for the first time, John Cho made a eye-opening discovery about "American Pie" and Snoop Dogg turned a photo op with with Mario Van Peebles into a TwitPic post. Check out what that looked like after the jump and see what Damon Lindelof thinks of Paula Abdul's possible return to "American Idol."

John Cho and Kal Penn are central to the success of the two "Harold and Kumar" movies, no question. But Neil Patrick Harris? A very close second. Appearing as a drug-addled, sociopathic version of himself, the "How I Met Your Mother" star contributes to some of the most memorable scenes in the first two movies.

Now, with "A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas" on the way and officially in production, we have confirmation: NPH is back! The confirmation comes from the man himself, who sat down for a chat with the folks at Hollywood.com. There's no word on how he'll factor into the story, but it ought to be interesting since (**SPOILER ALERT**) he was killed by an angry Beverly D'Angelo in "Escape from Guantanamo Bay."

John ChoBetween his roles as Sulu in "Star Trek" and the possibly ill-fated Demetri Noh on "FlashForward," John Cho has made quite a name for himself in the world of science fiction — but the actor hasn't forgotten his comedic roots with "Harold & Kumar."

Cho spoke with Collider about "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas," the upcoming third installment in the stoner comedy franchise. According to the actor, the current plan is to shoot the film this summer. Read More...

'Harold and Kumar'When "Harold & Kumar" star Kal Penn traded in his bong for a ranking post in the Barack Obama administration recently, most fans naturally concluded that the stoner comedy franchise conceived by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg had officially gone up in smoke. Penn may or may not be out, but that didn't stop Warner Bros from announcing today that "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas" will hit theaters on November 5, 2010.

A title is all we have to go on for the moment, as the WB announcement made no mention of the film's plot or casting. As hard as it is to imagine anyone other than Penn and co-star John Cho -- who will be hard to miss as Hikaru Sulu in this weekend's "Star Trek" -- stepping into the shoes of the titular stoners, it's a distinct possibility given the public nature of Penn's new job in the White House Office of Public Liaison.
