Like most of you, I was extremely disappointed in this past summer's blockbuster sequel The Hangover 2. Being nothing more than a rehashed story with a new setting, I just about threw in the towel on the franchise. However, recent reports claim that director Todd Phillips has promised a second sequel to help close out the trilogy. The third installment, which may begin filming as early as September 2012, will branch out from the usual "night of forgotten debauchery" theme. Early rumors are speculating that The Hangover 3 will involve the old crew breaking Alan (played by Zach Galifianakis) out of a mental hospital. At this point, I'd take any storyline I haven't seen already.
Perhaps the biggest winners from The Hangover 3 announcement will be its trio of stars. Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and Ed Helms have created a unified front and are asking the studio for $15 million each. After receiving $5 million a piece for the second film and under $1 million a piece for the The Hangover, it sounds like a major payday is in order for the stars of the franchise which has grossed over $500 million in box office sales.
