'Hangover III' Already In the Works
Fans of the smash comedy can rejoice once again: another 'Hangover' installment is a definite go.
One of its leads, the gorgeous Bradley Cooper, confirmed this when he stopped by the British talk show 'Graham Norton Show'.
He went there to talk about the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release of 'The Hangover II," but discussion on another sequel was just unavoidable.
"I hope we're going to start shooting in September. I know Todd Phillips is working on the script. We adhered to the formula in the second one, [and] the third would close the trilogy. I think it'll take place in L.A. and not adhere to the structure, it might be different," Cooper tells the show.
Now, this news entails a pro and a con - the former, which has been already said: a tentative start date for shooting which is September. The sad part is that this might be the last flick for The Wolfpack (the one without Jacob Black), as the director already hinted.
Regarding the 'different' structure the plot might possess, it won't be a surprise anymore as Zach Galifianakis spoiled it earlier this year. The third film's storyline might find Cooper, Ed Helms and possibly, Justin Bartha trying to get out Galifianakis' insane character out of a mental institution, HitFix shares.
The star has been "getting fricking phone calls already" about the flick after the revelation.
'The Hangover II', which was released last May, opened worldwide to numerous negative reviews. Most claimed II as a lame carbon-copy of the first film, and a more obscene version at that.
However, it was still a financial success, grossing worldwide with $600 million, $350 million of which was earned in just 15 days. Clearly, the reviews didn't matter, as long as the film was able to deliver the craziness that people expected from a 'Hangover' film.
Expectations might also be the Warner Bros' reason for changing the stories' direction. It might not be too late to save the franchise, which was notable for winning the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy on 2009.
