The Hangover 3 might begin filming this summer



Posted by on 26. 01. 2012in News Chat


You ready for a Hangover 3? I still haven’t recovered from the last movie and the pain it left in my stomach. We’ve been hearing rumors about this movie since the release of The Hangover 2, and we have a few ideas of what it may be about but what we didn’t know was when it would be made…Until now.

Dealmaking on the studio’s third installment in the raunchy comedy franchise is wrapping up after dragging on for months due in part to the salary demands of its three stars. Sources close to the negotiations say Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms are asking for $15 million each (against backend) to reprise their roles, and they now are likely to get it…

…That’s a big raise from 2009’s The Hangover, which was made for about $35 million and paid the headliners under $1 million each…

..When the R-rated bachelor-party comedy unexpectedly grossed $467 million worldwide, the studio found itself without talent deals for a sequel. Negotiations were heated for The Hangover Part II, released last May, with the three principals each scoring around $5 million, according to a source, plus back-end compensation that raised their haul into the mid-teens (and counting) when the movie grossed $581 million worldwide…

That’s some fine negotiating! Now who do I speak to about restitution for the pain in my stomach left by the last movie? Hmmm? At least the article goes on to say that they want to switch up the formula and change things up. I think I’m tired of the “got wasted, woke up, holy sh*t” formula used in the last 2 films. The change would concur with what Galifianakis and Cooper have said in the past about change-up for the movie.

You guys ready for another helping of the Hangover?

    Another one? Why? Wasn’t the second one bad enough? Watching Hangover 2,I don’t think I laughed once. Hmmm, a group of guys get mega off their collective face, wake up missing one of them, spend the movie reatracing their steps to find the missing person. Yep, same as the first. Why do a third?
