‘The Hangover’ director halfway through script for sequel
The director of ‘The Hangover’ talks sequel
Todd Phillips is currently halfway through writing the script to the sequel of the sleeper hit of the summer, The Hangover
Phillips isn’t worried about changing the venue of the sequel to a less hectic environment because, according to the director, the story’s heart remains on the characters, not the lights of Vegas.
“What people loved about The Hangover was not Las Vegas or the bachelor party but these three characters,” says Phillips. “I think you can take those characters and put them in other situations, and you don’t need the sell of Vegas and a bachelor party and all that other stuff.”
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis are all expected to return for the follow-up. The new potential location is under wraps for now.
Phillips is also at work on the comedy Due Date starring Robert Downey Jr., Galifianakis, the lovely Michelle Monaghan, and Jaime Foxx. The film will hit theaters on November 5, 2010.
