The Hangover 2 will take place in WTF is that German?
Well, after months of speculation-- and a denial or two from the man directing the film-- it's finally been confirmed: The Hangover 2 will take place in Thailand. Yes, the land of lady-boys and Pad-Thai will be welcoming Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha, Ed Helms, and director Todd Phillips when the film begins shooting in just a few weeks. The original Hangover made hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide and established Galifianakis as a comedy force to be reckoned with, all while earning some very solid reviews. Will they be able to maintain that level of quality for the sequel? Well, experience tells us that, no, they won't, but let's hope for the best anyway. Read all about it below, my gentle Examiner readers...
Even though Hollywood doesn't have the best track record when it comes to sequels, we're willing to put our hope and faith into Todd Phillips for The Hangover 2. Maybe it's because the first one exceeded expectations, or maybe it's just because anything starring Zach Galifianakis automatically gets a pass here at the Comedy Examiner's Office (lone exception: G-Force), but I'm inclined to give this one the benefit of the doubt. After months of speculation, Coming Soon has revealed that the sequel will, in fact, take place in Thailand (as previously denied by the film's director). Here's what they're saying:
The Hangover 2 is headed to Thailand, a source has just confirmed to ComingSoon.net. Production will move there this fall with a script that sees the characters from the 2009 hit comedy traveling to Asia.
It would appear that Phillips' denials about the film's location were all just misdirection. Coming Soon also confirms that Bradley Cooper, Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and Justin Bartha will be appearing in round-two, settling the ongoing debate about whether or not Bartha had "earned" a spot in the sequel (of course he did, you nerds). Phillips is currently putting the finishing touches on Due Date-- due to arrive in theaters this Fall-- in addition to wrapping up the scripting for Hangover 2.

Which raises an interesting question: what will the script for Hangover 2 be like? Moving the film to Thailand seems to offer up some very obvious possible directions for the story to take, and after the first film, one can imagine all manner of debauchery that our heroes may be involved in. Will there be another hangover, wherein the cast are forced to retrace their steps? That seems lame, but wouldn't there have to be in order to maintain the Hangover name? What do you think, folks? Sound off in the comments section below: we wanna know what you're expecting out of The Hangover 2!

Gee, I wonder what the comics involved are going to focus on? I bet it doesn't involve the drunken consumption of cheeseburgers.
OFF-TOPIC TIME: NEWLY RELEASED VIDEO GAME "LIMBO" IS THE CREEPIEST THING YOU COULD INVITE INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM-- in which the Comedy Examiner goes off-topic to talk about the newly released video game "Limbo", which is indeed incredibly creepy.

As a former Thailand Peace Corps volunteer and expat living in Thailand, I am rather concerned to see the sequel being filmed here. I have a feeling this film will do more to reinforce the stereotypes of prostitution and Thailand as a do-as-you-like society, which it certainly is not.
Not Excited....Your an idiot, shut up. You clearly suck
yeah not excited. You suck!
Thailand is a breathtaking country with the best beaches and culture in the world... I foresee..... a took took chase scene ... I can't wait !
can't wait for this much awaited sequel. I loved the first one, hopefully this one is just as funny!! and for all those haters FAKK OFF cuz no1 gives what u think. The Hangover is to me best comedy in recent times !! :P
as long as bradly cooper is in it alot it will be good...and im very excied considering the original was funny as hell. the four guys do good together and it should be a hit
yum
I cannot tell you how much I hate to see this. The first movie wasn't even REMOTELY as funny as everyone built it up to be. I really hope this movie fails.
You are CRAZY!!! The Hangover was hilarious. It's one of the best comedys I've seen in a while. I can't believe it didn't live up to your expectations. What exactly do you consider to be funny?
Your sense of humor sucks then man...
Moron!
Congratulations, you are one of the retards that feels that way. You hope it fails? Why? Just don't go see it. I bet you are a lot of fun to be around Moron.
ur dumb dude!
@Not Excited
Yeahhh... tell that to all the foreigners at Soi Cowboy, Nana, Patpong, Khao San and anywhere in Pattaya.
I love living in Thailand, and hate the prostitution issue, but it isn't going anywhere soon.
@Not Excited... I agree with you and thanks for that. I am Thai and not excited at all.
@not excited... Cmon bro, as a true tranny lover I hope to see one of them have sex with one and they find out it's a guy afterwards!!! "classic!!!"
Boooo! You people are so lame. This will be the best follow up of the decade. Shot, written, acted, directed, produced....THE BEST I TELL YOU!
meow
I am willing to bet that it might be Ed Helm's "Stu" who is having a bachelor party.... But I agree that the whole "I lost my friend, and need to find him ASAP" story will be played out if it continues in this installment....
OMG i live in thailand i'll try to stalk them up :D
in the photos at the end wasn't Zach G. getting a blow job from a Thai lady in the elevator? maybe , maybe not, but it would be dope if it had something to do with that! and Mike Tyson was on HBO's Entourage talking about being in this movie and having more speaking time!
It was a black chick
The black chick was at the beginning of the credits, but near the end, he is showin getting a BJ in an elevator (was an older woman, ethnicity is unknown)
Still I dont understand how you can make a follow up to a movie that was really supposed to stand alone. Im excited yet nervous......
I think stu gets married with the hooker and they are forced to go to thailand for some reason, maybe mr wong kidnaps carlos or something.
Say it ain't so. I would be destroyed if little Carlos was kidnapped. Mr Chow is evil, but not that evil.
I think they should "blackout" on a drink like Absynth or Everclear or Jungle Juice, something that is highly alcoholic and puts you down. Then thai midget sex or something with a mule would be hilarious..
Not excited
You have got to be kidding, what a dry sack of poop you must be!!!!
The movie should be in vegas, like The Hangover 2: The forgotten night. They should make the seguel about the night that they forgot. Not showing what we already know, so we see what happend to them. I would like to see that. Than the 3rd one in Thai. What do you think?
lol, thats a great idea
I read that Doug and Tracy might've gotten a divorce :x, source: http://telltheinternet.com/hangover2
Bow wow
I LOVED the first hangover, and dont get me wrong, i want this movie to suceed, i want this movie to make me laugh my @#$ off, but i am worried, a big part of what made the hangover so funny, was that it shocked you, it made a crack at everything that had been "sacred" and it was hilarious, i just worry that they might try to hard to make it funny. But all in all i think they can pull it off, phillips is a genius so i am not tooooo worried, but it is something to think about.
I had the impression that Phil had a affair with Doug's wife. Watch closely, when the movie begin Phil calls ( diall the numer that he knows by memory) Doug's wife, and say we fucked up, she gets up and go talk to him where no one can hear. In the police station the same thing, and she even asks if Doug was around. What do you think?
Really? I don't think anybody has picked up on that but you, sounds like your lady friend and a buddy have fooled around behind your back in the past, but I doubt thats the case here.
So excited but kinda scared, the Hangover is like my favorite movie and I WANT THE 2ND ONE TO BE JUST AS FUNNY IF NOT FUNNIER! The cast just clicks! but i'm also concerned about the sequels thing cos no movie with sequels has lived up to expectations, sometimes some things just need to be left alone u know
Maybe movies tend to not live up to expectations because everyone sets them too high?
Goat milk is da bomb! Mmmmm tasty! XD
I think Hangover 2 will be a success as much as the 1st. maybe even more. The cast was great. I've seen the film hundreds of times. Loved every scene. The soundtrack was excellent. So I think Todd would have desire to make this Hangover a success and so go with the cast. All i can say is... No matter how they make the movie... i'll still be watching them.

it won't be as good as the first this is stupid
anybody who doesn't like the hangover is a ruhtard
I love the first movie but i agree that its gonna be tough to make a 2nd movie as good as the first due to the fact where do you go after the first. I mean its been done alls they can really do is put a diffrent local and slightly diffrent spin on what happend on the first movie. Though i still believe ill laugh my ass off
This seems very interesting all the crazy characters going to Thailand might make the movie feel like Borat( An foreign idiot in another country). Man it seems funny already. It might actually be funnier than the first one because I believe that The Hangover is one of the most overrated movies. Its funny but that as funny as everyone portrays it to be.
do u think doug will b the one missing again? or will they give him a bigger part? i hope so. justin bartha was hilarious in national treasure
no he wasn't. he sucked.
i liked him in the hangover... to a point. If they put anymore of him in there, it would have made me mad. He has this childish humor to him I don't really appreciate.
in most of the recent released pictures of the hangover 2 he's not in it. c: looks like it'll be the lovable 3some.
when is it comeing out
I have been to Thailand on numerous occassions. We have many friends there and are moving there in the future. They are the most humble people I have ever met. I think Hollywood is planning on a "fat pay check" of other peoples average lifestyle. They should be ashamed of themselves for wanting to embarass them in their own country and turn them into a joke, just so that they can make some cash and the world can have a "LAUGH". Poke fun at the Americans, believe me their are far more prostitutes,drug addicts, cross dressers, gays etc to script into your rediculous movie. You should make " MILLIONS"
