Bradley Cooper Reveals ‘Hangover 3′ Plans
Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper, allegedly the ‘Sexiest Man Alive‘, revealed to British talk show host Graham Norton that he hopes to film the third and final Hangover film in September 2012. Cooper notes that plans are not officially set, but offered the following details:
- He hopes to film September 2012, with plans for a 2013 release.
- Todd Phillips is currently writing the script.
- While the second installed “adhered to the formula,” the third would not “adhere to the structure.”
- The third film will close the trilogy.
- He believes the third film will take place in Los Angeles.
These details are somewhat relieving. Fans and critics alike bemoaned how the sequel was a complete rehash of the original, following the exact same plot points (and even used some of the music composed for the original’s score.) Cooper clearly states how the final film won’t following the structure of the first two, so at the very least it appears Phillips may surprise in this final outing.
The second film, in my opinion, left the door wide open for another installment with how they handled Ken Jeong’s Mr. Chow. If you are waiting for the DVD (in stores today, December 6th), I won’t spoil it, but that could one possible angle. Cooper states the third would “close the trilogy,” so maybe we could see the return of Heather Graham, whom Ed Helms accidentally married in the original, but was only a footnote during Zach Galifianakis’ speech in the sequel. Taking place in Los Angeles, the location where the three leads are believed to live, could mean this film might not revolve around a bachelor party. We can only hope this doesn’t revolve around a wedding for Galifianakis’ Alan.
Either way, with the script still being worked on, and filming possibly a year away, this interview might be the only details we hear for quite some time.
I’m excited if its a new formula, but Part II was such a lazy movie
I know it’s called “The Hangover” but it would be nice to see if they could do a “mystery” film without having to resort to another drug-induced, memory-loss, comedy version of Memento.
And please, for the love of God, give Justin Bartha something to do.
I think I commented this in an earlier thread, but what I’d like to see happen is them finding out additional things that happened during the two nights, and somehow coming back to haunt them. Having Mr. Chow as the link between those two could make that possible.
My idea:
The 4 are all moving away, well except for Alan who will still live at home. They go to the bar for a last guys night. They wake up in a random war-torn country. Now they have to get home safe.
“And please, for the love of God, give Justin Bartha something to do.”
Yes please, he’s part of the pack too
