We did our best to ignore 2010's biggest, duh, "no shit?" story of the year when Christopher Nolan was quadruple-confirmed confirmed to direct "Batman 3" (a 2012 date had been set and his writers were working on it all this time apparently just for the fun of it). Similarly, the worst-kept secret of 2010 is the location of "The Hangover 2," and well, it's a slow day.Almost as soon as the sequel was announced, rumors sprouted that the Todd Phillips-directed comedy would take place in Thailand. Then it was "confirmed" by sources that said, "yes, that's true" and now it's finally come from the horse's mouth, the director himself.
"It takes place in Bangkok and LA," Phillips told Empire. "There's gonna be some fucked-up surprises." Returning for the sequel are the three best friends that anyone could have Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms (the former two, now huge stars). Phillips also confirmed the return of comedian Ken Jeong who played the naked Mr. Chow in the original.No official word on the return of Justin Bartha or Heather Graham (at least not in this brief interview), but one presumes they'll be there. "I'm not delusional," Phillips said noting the expectations with sly sarcasm. "I know what I'm up against. I saw 'Meet The Fockers.' But we're aiming high. It's called The Hangover Part Two, you know."
The film is scheduled to shoot later this month and Galifianakis recently said he read the script and found it to be better than the original (what else is he gonna say?) And Latino Review's spies allegedly got their hands on a script and there's a mildly diverting spoiler here if you want to read it for yourself.
