Warner Bros. Pictures casting extras for 'The Hangover 2' in Los Angeles

Production is set to begin on the Warner Bros. Pictures feature film "The Hangover 2", and the extras casting director is currently casting all types and ages above 18 years to appear in the film as background performers in Los Angeles.

"The Hangover" was a huge success and ended up far exceeding expectations generating over $467 million in gross revenue. The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and received multiple other awards and nominations. The plot for "The Hangover" was reportedly inspired by a true story that happened to Tripp Vinson, a producer friend of The Hangover executive producer Chris Bender. Vinson had gone missing from his own Las Vegas bachelor party, blacking out and waking up "in a strip club being threatened with a very, very large bill he was supposed to pay".

Shooting on The Hangover 2 starts September 30, 2010 in Los Angeles and runs through October 24, 2010. The production then moves to Thailand for additional filming. The release date is set for May 26, 2011. Primetime Emmy winning casting director Juel Bestrop and Casting Society of America Artios Award nominated casting director Seth Yanklewitz are handling the principal actor casting.

Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and Justin Bartha will be reprising their roles as four hungover friends for the sequel.
