"When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it's funny in any language."

Here's the first full trailer for The Hangover Part II. Judge for yourself if director Todd Phillips has made a sequel that could live up to our expectations.

It's arrived. You know that you want to see it. It's a teaser trailer but that won't stop everyone who's been waiting to see what's coming out way in The Hangover Part II.

Jamie Chung, an actress who has a major role in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, has just landed another big job playing Ed Helms new fiancee in The Hangover sequel.

(And we also learn that Mike Tyson will be back too for the second time.)

In an unusual move for any production, Liam Neeson has replaced Mel Gibson in the cameo part of a Thailand-based tattoo artist in the Hangover sequel. The reason for the change of actor is due to Gibson's black eye in the public spotlight, ranging from his anti-semetic and offensive racist remarks caught on tape when he was on the phone with the mother of his youngest child. Several unnamed cast and crew members of The Hangover II thought that the casting of Gibson was inappropriate in light of the comments and publicly voiced their discomfort with the film's key decision makers.

"I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov and his team," said director Todd Phillips. "But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew."

Neeson was cast at the recommendation of Bradley Cooper. The two starred together in this summer's A-Team movie.

There's a rumor that Mel Gibson will provide a cameo in the sequel in a similar capacity to what Mike Tyson did for the first Hangover. The originator states that Gibson will play a tattoo artist living in Bangkok. He's supposedly scheduled to film the part in two weeks and on the WB backlot where a set made to resemble the eastern city has been constructed.

Bradley Cooper, Zack Galifinakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha were all spotted filming a scene for the sequel at the airport in Ontario, CA this past weekend. From the photos that have turned up it looks like the scene is of the guys leaving on a jet plane for Thailand.

Hangover director Todd Phillips spoke with MTV Movies Blog and gave us a reassurance that the sequel is more than just talk. "We were thinking of sequel ideas when we were shooting, which sounds cocky, but we were doing it more because it was just fun to talk about ideas while hanging out on the set," Phillips told the site. "Two weeks ago I was saying, 'Let's see how it works out.' Now that the movie has really connected, it's something we're doing for sure."

Phillips imagines that the earliest he and the other four actors (and that's the first confirmation that Justin Bartha is also coming back) could be rolling is in the spring of 2010. "I wouldn't do it unless all four guys were back," he said. "I love The Hangover so much and I think we could crush it with the sequel. I've never had more fun making a movie, ever. Not that Old School wasn't fun, but these guys were so hungry and ready to kick ass everyday. We just all gelled so well on this film."

Two months before the first film is slated for release Warner Bros. has authorized work to begin on a sequel to The Hangover. Director todd Phillips has signed to direct, co-write (with Scot Armstrong) and produce the second film and deals have all been secured for actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zack Galifianakis to reprise their roles. The setting and storyline have not been revealed.

Variety theorizes that what's given Warner Bros. the confidence to march ahead on the second film are the high test scores from the first one as well as a positively received trailer at ShoWest.
