Warner Bros. knew pretty early on that it had something special with THE HANGOVER so they actually made deals to bring back director Todd Phillips and stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis before the movie was even released. I was a bit worried that the immense success of the film would make it a scheduling nightmare to get the cast/crew reunited but Entertainment Weekly talked to Phillips and got the skinny on the sequel.

Phillips said that he's about halfway through the script for the sequel but don't expect anything expected like "yet another drunken weekend in Vegas that no one remembers." According to Phillips the reason the first movie worked was the cast and he's confident he can take the Cooper, Helms and Galifianakis characters out of Vegas and put them in an entirely different scenario and still have it work. He wouldn't speak to exactly what they're thinking about for the plot, but it's looking more and more like HANGOVER 2 will be Phillips' next film after he wraps DUE DATE with Galifianakis and Robert Downey, Jr.

I absolutely loved Hangover. Can't wait for this thing to get rolling. Although, I gotta disagree and say I hope they leave Ken Jeong on the sidelines this time. I though his character was the only fly in the ointment of this thing.

I'm all for a sequel to the hangover, it deserved to be the hit movie it was since its the funniest movie i've seen in a long time. the characters are great & seem real. Tood Phillips is a great comedic director as I;ve liked all his movies (never saw School For Scoundrels)

I'll watch Zach and his beautiful beard in anything; he's without a doubt the best stand up comedian I've seen. But really.. how'd he not blow up after Out Cold? He delivered with the same style, and that was all it took for me to see his potential back then.
