After a bachelor party and a wedding, what else could there be for the Wolf Pack to mess up next? Warner Bros. has a few details on 'The Hangover Part 3,' the third and final installment in the trilogy, which has just begun production.
The Wolfpack has a new logo.
Soon, Todd Phillips will be reuniting his team for 'The Hangover 3' - the third (and reportedly final) ‘Hangover’ film. Warner Bros. has established a May 24, 2013 release date for the raunchy comedy, and while details about the story are being kept under wraps, we do know a few crucial details.
'The Hangover' series of films have been two of the most financially successful comedies to ever hit the big screen. The first movie that came out in 2009 was a surprise hit, and a sequel quickly followed in 2011. Now there's a third 'Hangover' in the works, and co-star Ken Jeong will be featured in an expanded role.
While plans to add another installment to the 'National Lampoon's Vacation' franchise are moving along nicely New Line Cinema is in negotiations to cast its star and word on the street is that 'The Office' funny guy Ed Helms is the man for the job.
Is it us or does Ed Helms almost seem like he doesn't want to return to 'The Office'? The actor is trying to cram two films into his schedule before the show's ninth season begins.
'The Hangover 3' is happening. Though 'The Hangover, Part II' was basically a remake of the original film and mostly disappointed critics, the sequel made a ton of money (it was the fourth highest grossing film of 2011) and WB and director Todd Phillips have been quietly planning the third and final installment. And, as it turns out, 'The Hangover 3' may be happening sooner than you thought.
Fear not, fans of 'The Office!' Even with Steve Carell gone, executive producer Mindy Kaling officially leaving for her new FOX sitcom, Paul Lieberstein stepping down as show-runner, Rainn Wilson preparing for his own spin-off, the departure of James Spader, waning ratings and critical interest...boy, this is a depressing list. What was I talking about? Oh! Jim, Pam and Andy will officially be back for season 9!
Though the response to 'The Hangover Part II' was tepid, the film made $581 million worldwide, which meant that a third film was all but assured. Warner Brothers confirmed that certainty today with a new release date for 'The Hangover Part 3' plus word from director Todd Phillips told that it will be the series finale.
We don't want to say we told you so, but it looks like at least one more star of 'The Office' is keeping their options open should NBC decide to pull the plug on the aging sitcom. And for the second time today, we're starting to think that might not be such a bad thing.
I have a friend who works in the mental health field. One time he told me (quite possibly in violation of every ethical oath he's taken) about a divorced father who kidnapped his kid because he was convinced his ex-wife had been replaced by an alien. As he was working on the case he realized that the move to commit this man to an institution flew in the face of watching a lifetime of movies. If it were Hollywood, the third act would reveal that he was right all along.
To my delight and surprise a similar bit of musing is one of the core concepts of Jay and Mark Duplass' remarkable 'Jeff, Who Lives At Home.'
