Finding out the latest on The Hangover 2

The only real thing that any of us know about The Hangover 2 is that it’s set in Thailand and that the lead actors are all coming back to reprise their roles. Well, you can quickly scratch out the first “fact”, cause it’s anything but that. The Hangover and The Hangover 2 director Todd Phillips spoke with Collider and cleared up a couple of things for the rest of us.:

There’s a lot of talk that “The Hangover II” is going to Thailand.

I don’t know. There’s a lot of rumors. There was rumor also that it was going to Mexico or something and neither are true.

When are you starting to film “Hangover II”?

November.

Really?

1^st. That’s what we’re trying, but you know a lot of it has to do with Ed Helm’s office schedule and Bradley Cooper’s other movies. Right now our goal is to start shooting November 1^st.

There’s still no word as to what exactly the script is going to be about. Like previously stated, stars Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Justin Bartha and Heather Graham are all coming back to reprise their roles in the sequel. The Hangover 2 is currently set for a to-be-announced 2011 release date.

First Independent Pictures got their hands on the domestic distribution rights to the independent drama called Holy Rollers, reports Variety. The picture, directed by Kevin Asch, is inspired by a true story of a young Hasidic man who was lured into the world of international drug trafficking in the late 90s. The flick stars Jesse Eisenberg and includes the talents of Justin Bartha, Ari Graynor and Q-Tip.

The feature screened at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, so it was just merely a matter of time until this picture with it’s hint of star power got picked up. Holy Rollers is poised to come out sometime in the summer, no exact release date has been disclosed as of yet.

The Hangover – Review

Director Todd Phillips’ The Hangover is a solid comedy that is as smart as it is funny. Unlike his previous fratboy flicks Old School and Road Trip, The Hangover works from beginning to end. It’s well written, well acted, and stupid mother f**king funny.

The film begins with a bride preparing for the most important day of her life, when she receives a phone call that could change her life forever. Her soon-to-be-husband Doug (Justin Bartha) was misplaced by his best friends during his Vegas bachelor party. The last thing his friends; Stu (Ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) remember is sharing shots on the roof of Caesars Palace. They wake up in their hotel room with a tiger, a chicken, a missing baby, a missing tooth, terrible hangovers, and a missing Doug.

The three hungover miscreants set out to retrace their steps in hopes of finding Doug and solving the many mysteries of their Vegas adventure. As the events of the night before slowly reveal themselves they find out that they did things that they could never have imagined.

I wasn’t waiting for this flick to kick as much ass as it did. I was sure that Zach was gonna rock, but when everyone in the flick rocked I was pleasantly surprised. Even Mike Tyson was solid! But the real star of this flick is the script. All of the jokes work, and the flick has a story and isn’t just a bunch of set pieces and setups for skits that fall short. These characters are flawed, real, and lovable. They do and say things that middle-aged men would say and do, and none of the performances ever seem forced.

The Hangover is a laugh-out-loud tour de force of funny and most positively a killer film.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
