"Harold & Kumar" Find a Whole Bunch of New Friends
The other day we gave you a little piece of news regarding Rob Corddry's involvement in the "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" sequel, but today we have a whole lot more from the casting department.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "David Krumholtz, Neil Patrick Harris, Christopher Meloni, Ed Helms, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Paula Garces, Jack Conley, Roger Bart, Danneel Harris and Eric Winter" will be joining Kal Penn and John Cho among the ranks of "Harold & Kumar 2" -- which used to be called "Harold & Kumar Go to Amsterdam," but I'm pretty sure New Line is still monkeying with the title.
The story centers around a false accusation, which leads to Kumar being mistaken for a terrorist, which will give the stoned potheads a chance to make fun of airport check-ins and national security, I suppose.
Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who penned both the original and the impending sequel, will share the director's chair this time out.

on Feb 01 2007 12:53 PM im kinda dissapointed that it's not a direct sequel, with Harold flying off to amsterdam for that chick, but shit the casting is awesome so it ain't so bad. Hopefully more coke and seat humping with Neil Patrick Harris, Ed Helms channeling his Office asshole character (watch The office this season and you would know), and keep the perfect combination of stoner comedy and growing up story (harold gets a pair and kumar finds ambition) of the original and it will be another classic. im happy to see a movie that actually deserves a sequel getting one.
