THE HANGOVER III Begins Production; Plot Synopsis Revealed
Published on

This time, there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.This brief? Ah well. Synopsis suggests, it seems, that the guys may be on some kind of road trip, which isn’t that surprising when you have in mind that Phillips wrote and directed the hit film Road Trip (2000). It also seems to be a bit of a change-up from the first two films, both of which were written around a single locale (Las Vegas in The Hangover, Thailand in The Hangover Part II). As we reported last year, the plot may also involve the boys breaking Galifiankis’ character, Alan, out of a mental institution (no no, you don’t need to do that! Leave him there, he’ll be just fine). (Tiny) Plot differences aside, the fact that ’round three’ will have an almost identical cast and production crew as its predecessors shows that Phillips and Warner Bros. didn’t want to mess too much with something that worked previously. And why would anyone in Hollywood take a risk and do something that doesn’t fit the ‘template of success’? What worked with the first two and what audiences initially fell in love with was the cast, I’d say. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha will return in their roles as Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug, respectively, while Ken Jeong, Heather Graham and Jeffrey Tambor will return to round up the familiar supporting cast. One notable addition is John Goodman as the Wolf Pack’s antagonist. Still, it’s worth noting that the complaints that people had for Part II – that it looks far too alike as its original – seem to have been taken into account for the development of the third one. There’s no more wedding, no more bachelor party, and no more single location. Whether or not that’s good news, I leave you to be the judge of it. The Hangover Part III is set to hit the theaters on May 24th, 2013. Oh and here’s a surprise treat – a poster, heheh. Enjoy:
