The Hangover Part III Set for Memorial Day Weekend 2013

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are reteaming with Todd Phillips for The Hangover Part III, the third installment in the record-breaking comedy franchise, which is slated for release on May 24, 2013. The announcement was made today by Jeffrey Robinov, President Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

The Hangover Part III will star Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, who will reprise the roles of Phil, Stu and Alan, collectively known to moviegoers as "the Wolfpack." In the previous two films, the three friends' attempts to plan a celebration have resulted in disaster for them, but led to a combined billion-dollar success at the worldwide box office.

In making the announcement, Robinov stated, "We are extremely pleased to have Todd Phillips and the guys back together again for another Hangover, and we look forward to collaborating with them on another great movie."

Phillips said, "I'm so excited to embark on another Hangover film with Bradley, Ed and Zach. We're going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned. It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."

Phillips is writing the screenplay with Craig Mazin, who also collaborated with him on the screenplay for The Hangover Part II. Phillips is again producing the film under his Green Hat Films banner, together with Daniel Goldberg. Thomas Tull and Scott Budnick will serve as executive producers.

Production on the film is projected to begin in September 2012.

A presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Legendary Pictures, The Hangover Part III will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

The Hangover Part III comes to theaters May 24th, 2013 and stars Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Mike Tyson. The film is directed by Todd Phillips.

Mike Tyson Cannot Get Away with "The Hangover"!

We know that The Wolf Pack (Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms) will be back for the upcoming comedy sequel The Hangover Part III. Now another cast member has confirmed his own return. That's right, Mike Tyson will once again reprise the role of himself in this trilogy ending follow-up to last summer's The Hangover Part II.

The former heavyweight boxing champion has revealed that shooting begins this summer and will carry through the early fall in Los Angeles. The production schedule falls closely in line with a report from December, where Bradley Cooper said shooting will begin in September.

The Hangover Part III will be set in Los Angeles. Previously, the original The Hangover was set in Las Vegas, while The Hangover Part II took the Wolf Pack to Thailand.

Todd Phillips will direct The Hangover Part III from a script by Craig Mazin, who was hired to write the comedy sequel back in May. A Memorial Day weekend release is planned for 2013.

$15 Million Apiece for The Hangover Part 3!

Between The Hangover and The Hangover Part II, "The Wolf Pack" has brought in over $1 billion worldwide, and it seems Warner Bros. will have to dig deeper into those profits to ensure The Hangover Part III happens. A new report reveals stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms are asking for $15 million apiece to reprise their roles in The Hangover Part III.

It is believed that the deals are being finalized, which includes a back end percentage on top of the $15 million, and the actors will likely get what they requested. Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms each made a little under $1 million for The Hangover, and $5 million for The Hangover Part II, but with back end compensation, each of the actors have made more than $10 million from The Hangover Part II.

Back in December, Bradley Cooper revealed that The Hangover Part III will start shooting in September, although it seems the studio wants to get started earlier then that. Insiders claim Warner Bros. wants to go into production this summer, so the comedy sequel can hit a Memorial Day 2013 release. Little is known about the story, but it is said to be centered around The Wolf Pack's home city of Los Angeles.

Craig Mazin Will Write "The Hangover Part 3"

Warner Bros. has already started the ball rolling on The Hangover Part III, hiring Craig Mazin to write the screenplay. Craig Mazin and Scot Armstrong co-wrote The Hangover Part II, which has already taken in over $200 million worldwide since its release on Thursday.

Story details for The Hangover Part III are being kept under wraps, although Craig Mazin exclusively revealed to us last week a few possible details on The Hangover Part III, which will likely be the last installment in this comedy franchise.

"I cannot image a worse hangover than the one they experience in Bangkok. That's it. No more. The third one really has to be about something that gets them off of this cycle. Every time these three guys get together, something terrible happens. The third one is about saving them from a life of agony. Sometimes you are caught between a rock and a hard place. Sometimes, people are going to ding you for being too similar. They are going to ding you for straying. If it ain't broke, why fix it? This isn't really about responding to internal criticism. For the third one, I think it's really about what makes sense for the characters. When you are making an action movie, the action star is really an avatar for you to go through that situation. Its about the plot and action. This really isn't about the plot. It's about these guys going through some sort of horrendous growth experience. If we are going to end it...This isn't James Bond. We're not going to do The Hangover 20...There will be another one, and it will be the hangover to end all hangovers. And in a sense, it has to go to another level, again. The Hangover Part II goes to another level in terms of how dark and insane it gets. The Hangover Part III will go to another level for the guys."
