My thoughts and stuff…
Yeah, I know. The second HANGOVER movie was a huge disappointment to just about everyone, myself included. They recycled the storyline from the first film and didn’t do much to make it stand out over the original. But, being that both films collectively have grossed over a billion dollars (seriously), of course a third film was inevitable.
The second sequel is now more real than ever, and has an official release date. Continue reading “HANGOVER PART III gets a release date”
We all know that the HANGOVER 2 is fast approaching, yet we know absolutely nothing about the plot. About six months ago we got word that the second film very possibly could take place overseas, in the exotic realm of Thailand. Although director Todd Phillips later shot this down, word is that he might have been trying to misdirect us, as sources are saying Thailand is back in.

THE HANGOVER 2 has been a sure thing for a very long time now, but technically the cast wasn’t. When the first film was made, there was no expectation that it would reach the ridiculous success it ultimately did, so franchise deals for the main cast weren’t established. Of course, no one doubted they would come back for the second film, and now it is a sure thing as the cast have officially signed deals.

A couple weeks ago I reported that Ed Helms was going to star in DADDY’S HOME opposite Will Ferrell. The film is about a husband trying to cope with his new wife’s ex-husband hanging around to spend time with his kids. But it seems that he might not be able to be in this movie because of scheduling conflicts. Continue reading “Ed Helms no longer waiting 'til DADDY'S HOME?”
Etan Cohen has become somewhat of a hotshot in Hollywood in the past couple of years. After writing IDIOCRACY and TROPIC THUNDER, he has made a name for himself in the comedy genre. Now it looks as though he is moving through the natural progression, and will direct a feature film. Continue reading “Director found for Will Ferrell and Ed Helms movie DADDY'S HOME”
THE HANGOVER was the big sleeper hit of the summer, and rightfully so. It had a hilarious cast, outrageous plot, and enough cursing to make you re-evaluate your own vocabulary. A sequel was announced a while back, and is leaving people anxious as to what the plot might be. Word is getting out that the boys might be heading overseas.
Sources are telling the guys over at CHUD that the sequel will take place in Thailand. Since the film still has a while to go before it is released the plot could change, but for now this is their plan. Additionally, they were told that Thailand was the original idea for OLD SCHOOL DOS, the canceled sequel to the 2003 film OLD SCHOOL.
I’m not all that positive how I feel about this movie yet. The first one was so good, but they played out the basic idea of a hangover, and I’d like to see something different. Hopefully they don’t just throw the boys into the same situation under different pretenses. THE HANGOVER 2 is set to come out Memorial Day weekend 2011.
