Generating over $260 million, The Hangover was easily the movie of the summer. No surprise, then, that The Hangover 2 already has a release date set for 2011, with director Todd Phillips on board. But what about the cast?
Zach Galifianakis (who plays Allen) has expressed his reservations about going for round two:
"I haven't seen the script. I'm not running to do The Hangover 2...The movie's really good, why bother with a sequel? And I'm not saying that I'm not going to do it. I'm just posing these questions. These are things I ask Todd. Obviously, the reason is executives have Bentleys to pay for. I would love, love, love to work with those guys again. The script has to be good!"
So what about our favorite of the bunch, Ed Helms? We chatted with The Office star on the Emmys red carpet about the most recent update for the already anticipated sequel:
"I just know that it's in the works," Helms told us, sincerely adding that he "really hopes it happens."
One of the reasons the movie was so successful is obviously because of the cast—all the guys have the total bro-chemistry thing going on. Ed said he's chatted with his costars and it's definitely something he wants to re-create.
"I certainly hope [the whole cast is back]," fesses E.H., who tells us he "thinks" it will definitely happen.
"I had such a good time making that movie, I would love to relive it."
So there ya have it. Ed's in—and let's face it, Bradley Cooper will be in, too. Just look at what The Hangover did to his dating life. Trust us, the Coop isn't letting that go anytime soon. Justin Bartha, what say you? Let's make it happen! Don't you all agree?
