With THE HANGOVER grossing over $200 million at the box-office and many people saying he's the breakout star, you might have thought that Zach Galifianakis would already have signed a few high-profile deals (after all, it didn't take long for Bradley Cooper to snatch up a starring role in A-TEAM). But Galifianakis has been taking his time and has narrowed his next project down to three films: DUE DATE, SAY UNCLE and MAN-WITCH. Not surprisingly two of those projects, DUE DATE and MAN-WITCH, could reunite Zach with HANGOVER director Todd Phillips.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, DUE DATE is a HANGOVER-esque comedy about a slacker and a businessman on a road trip together (somehow a pregnancy fits into the mix) while MAN-WITCH would have Galifianakis filling in for the departed Jack Black in a comedy about a man who enrolls in a school for teen witches. No details yet on what SAY UNCLE is about.

Phillips has been working hard on getting MAN-WITCH going for a few years now and working even harder to make sure it didn't completely disintegrate once Black left the project. But Galifianakis hasn't made a final choice yet so we'll have to wait and see...

High-larious...
I loved him in Out Cold. I always thought he was an underrated comedic actor. I'm glad he had a chance to shine in The Hangover and has now planted his feet into more Hollywood films.



I'll watch G-Force just to see him in it. Zach is great. I would watch him in that same movie from South Park where Rob Schneider plays the Stapler, just to see him in it.

One more thing. Take this how you want to. It doesn't surprise me one bit that he would be the next in line behind Jack Black for a role and could easily fill in.

i agree. "out cold" wasnt much of a good movie, but there were some pretty hilarious parts, most of which included Zach Galifianakis
