'Due Date' then 'Hangover 2' Next Up for Todd Phillips
Source: Variety
Variety reports that Todd Phillips will next direct the road trip comedy Due Date, followed one year later by the sequel to The Hangover.
Zach Galifianakis will play one of the two leads in Due Date. In the comedy about fatherhood, an expectant dad and his unlikely travel companion race cross-country in hopes of making it home for the birth of his first child.
The Hangover has just crossed the $210 million domestic gross mark and surpassed Wedding Crashers to become the second-biggest grossing R-rated comedy ever. Warner Bros. believes The Hangover will finish around $240 million to become the biggest domestic grossing comedy ever (surpassing Beverly Hills Cop's $234 million) and the third-highest grossing R-rated film ever, behind The Passion of The Christ and The Matrix Reloaded.

Comment by Teknolyze on July 10, 2009 at 6:07pm - I have to admit that I'm sceptical about a sequel to the hangover working. But I think that maybe they could do it if they made it a different kind of movie from the first; a road movie perhaps? It would still have to invole they same set-up though of a bunch of people getting really wasted and trying to piece together what they did the previous night. As long as they stick to that core idea they could mold it into any kind of film they want.

Comment by Iffy on July 10, 2009 at 3:34pm - I really didn't expect a sequel. Unless there's something to do with Heather Graham and Ed Helms' characters, why have one?

Comment by Deadly Dr. Jay on July 10, 2009 at 3:02pm - I don't follow any of this bullshit news...especially when it surrounds Todd Phillips....how fucking long did we hear about Old School 2 and that NEVER happened.....sequels aren't his thing and I highly doubt The Hangover 2 will be any funnier than the first. Especially when the first was highly overrated!

Last week I watched Wolverine, Ghost of Girlfriends Past and Land of the Lost at the Danberry. Land did make me smile a bit. But Wolfie and Ghost were just stupid, even at $3 bucks.
