Todd Phillips didn’t waste anytime working on the sequel to last summer’s hit, The Hangover. The director recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly and gave a script update, and dished about a couple of changes that he’s made in terms of the film’s location. In the last movie, Las Vegas was almost a secondary character but Phillips says it won’t be the focal point the next time around.
It’s time for the 13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival and an official press release was just sent out revealing the film roster for this year’s event. The programming includes features, documentaries, shorts and music videos from around the world, including films from Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Israel, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Uganda, the United Kingdom and of course, the United States.
Take a look at this year’s films…
How many roles can rapper-turned-actor the RZA be cast in? He appeared in this summer’s Funny People, signed on to star in the upcoming Paul Haggis drama The Next Three Days, and now he’s set to star opposite Robert Downey, Jr.? According to Variety, the RZA has joined Todd Phillips latest comedy, Due Date.
Michelle Monaghan has been cast in the upcoming Todd Phillips comedy, Due Date. According to Collider the actress will star as the female lead opposite Robert Downey Jr., and Zach Galifianakis. This will be a reunion for Monaghan and Downey who previously starred together in the 2005 film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It will also be the reteaming for Phillips and Galifianakis who were both a part of this summer’s hit, The Hangover.

With all the success surrounding the movie, you’d think everyone would be gung ho to do another one. According to IGN, Mr. Galifianakis isn’t quite sure about another installment.
Find out the truth behind his skepticism after the jump.
The future plans of Zach Galifankis’s post-The Hangover has been unknown and under speculation for a little while now. It is fairly clear that there will be a sequel to The Hangover, but what is Zach to do besides that movie? Well we finally have an answer, it has been confirmed that Galifanakis is teaming up again with Hangover director, Todd Phillips, for the sequel and Phillips’ Due Date. Continue Reading
What do you do after your comedy movie grosses $204 million in five weeks? If you are Zach Galifianakis you take your time weighing your options for your next feature film. Unlike co-star Bradley Cooper who signed on for a role in Fox’s reboot of The A-Team right after The Hangover was released, Galifianakis has not committed to any film as of yet.
But he does have three options that he has been linked to. The 39-year-old comedian who has had a number of Comedy Central specials that raised his profile, is connected to the Todd Phillips‘ pregnancy-themed comedy Due Date; the comedy Say Uncle; and another Phillips’ project, the supernatural laffer Man-Witch.
In the land of Hollywood, every mildly successful movie is bound to get a sequel. If the movie seems especially promising, the sequel is in the works before the first one even comes out.
