‘The Hangover’ Already Set to Get Sequelized

This is pretty unprecedented. Â  Normally, when a film gets a sequel set before it even comes out, it’s a huge tentpole studio movie in the vein of ‘Iron Man’ or ‘Star Trek.’ Â  However, Todd Phillips, along with Scot Armstrong (‘Old School’ and ‘Semi-Pro’), has been set by Warner Bros. to pen a sequel to his new film, ‘The Hangover.’

‘The Hangover,’ which doesn’t come out until June 5th, follows three friends after a wild bachelor party in Vegas. Â  It is so wild, in fact, that they have no clue what happened, and they set out to piece together how they came to be in possession of a cop car, a tiger, and a baby. Â  Of course, they also have to find the groom, who has gone missing.

If you haven’t seen the trailer, yet, do yourself a favor right now! Â  You will not laugh louder than when you see Mike Tyson, yes, that Mike Tyson, air drumming to Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight. Â  Very funny stuff.

Phillips will be back as director on the sequel. Â  Warner hopes to launch production on the film later this year.
