‘Hangover’ helmer Todd Phillips confirms the three-quel will be the last

Movies, News, ,

Last week on Thursday Warner Bros. released a press statement confirming the development of another Hangover movie starring The Wolfpack–that is, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. A studio exec Jeff Robinov said, “We are extremely pleased to have Todd Phillips and the guys back together again for another ‘Hangover,’ and we look forward to collaborating with them on another great movie.” Todd Phillips, director of the first two Hangover films, reacted like this. “I’m so excited to embark on another ‘Hangover’ film with Bradley, Ed and Zach. We’re going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions.” And so it’s decided; The Hangover Part III will be the last in the hysterical franchise. Though the plot is still being kept under wraps, there is speculation that the three-quel will not adhere to the same “what happened last night?” forumla that has been used in the past. Production begins in September, and now we await a trailer. Full PR after the break.

Trailer: The Hangover Part II

Movies, Video, , ,

One teaser trailer and movie poster later, Warner Bros. has finally let loose the full theatrical trailer for Todd Phillips’ The Hangover Part II. And now we know what to expect, plot-wise. Though he didn’t appear in the teaser or poster, Justin Bartha is back as Doug but this time he doesn’t go missing. The movie begins with the Wolfpack and their family and friends celebrating Stu’s (Ed Helms) impending marriage to an Asian woman (Jamie Chung). After conversing over a pre-wedding brunch in Thighland, the guys (Helms, Bradly Cooper, Zach Galifianakis) decide to celebrate the occasion with drinks. Stu’s finance encourages him to show her little brother Teddy a good time. During the night of insanity that will likely not be revealed a la the original Hangover, the boys will lose Teddy and the film revolves around finding him (not Doug) before the wedding takes place. Watch the funny unfold in the trailer embedded above. Spoiler alert–Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) is back!

The Hangover Part II opens May 26.

Ah ha, the Wolfpack is back alright. We’ve been teased before, but this time it’s in picture form. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and that vicious-looking monkey find themselves in a bind here, this time in Bangkok. But where’s their best friend Doug (Justin Bartha)? That, my friends, still remains a mystery; but we can guesstimate that his absence will once again catapult the band of brothers into a memorable heap of laugh-out-loud trouble.

The Hangover Part II hits theatres May 26.

Teaser trailer: ‘The Hangover Part II’

The Wolfpack is back. Ed Helms sports a Mike Tyson style face tattoo, Zach Galifianakis’ head is shaved, Justin Bartha is missing, and Bradley Cooper is Bradley Cooper in this teaser trailer for the much anticipated sequel to Todd Phillips’ The Hangover. Baby Carlos is also MIA, but in his place is a tiny monkey who joins the misguided gang on their next journey based in Bangkok. The teaser is exactly that–it doesn’t really provide any details about the film’s plotline. But it’s worth a watch anyway because it’s great to see the guys back together again. I’ve got a good feeling the sequel will live up to its predecessor when it releases May 26.

‘The Hangover 2’ in the works?

Movies, News, , , ,

IGN recently interviewed “Hangover” star Zach Galifianakis.  Apparently talks of a sequel have been exchanged between the actors and director Todd Phillips.

IGN: What has Todd said about the sequel? Has he said where he wants to go with it?

Galifianakis: He is writing the script. But I haven’t seen the script. I’m not running to do The Hangover 2. I told Todd, the last thing I want is the Police Academy chain all of the sudden, where I’m only known from… You’ve got to be careful with something like that. The movie’s really good, why bother with a sequel? And I’m not saying that I’m not going to do it. I’m just posing these questions. These are things I ask Todd. Obviously, the reason is executives have Bentleys to pay for. I would love, love, love to work with those guys again. The script has to be good! But I’m working with Todd on a movie we’ll be shooting in about six weeks. So I’ll do that first, and then we’ll see how it goes.

I totally understand that Galifianakis does not want to become “the funny guy from The Hangover.”  Still, if a sequel should be made in the near future, there will be no hangover to laugh about without Galifianakis’ lovable character.
