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.
