“Someone needs to burn this place to the ground,” is Stu's (Ed Helms) reaction upon returning to Las Vegas for The Hangover III. Well, it appears Todd Phillips and the gang might be the people for the job. Check out the first trailer for the new film.
Though we have gathered a little bit more about the film from this footage, there’s still a lot that's yet to be revealed, plot-wise. What can we surmise? Well, it appears Alan’s dad (Jeffrey Tambor) has shuffled off the mortal coil, and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) has inherited some money.
We also know the Wolfpack of Stu, Alan and Bradley Cooper’s Phil head out on a road trip and run afoul of not only Mr Chow (Ken Jeong, back and hopefully fully clothed for the whole movie this time), but also a villain played by John Goodman. Is it also possible Alan has met his weird Soulmate in the form of Melissa McCarthy?
Returning faces include Heather Graham, Justin Bartha, Sasha Barrese and Jamie Chung, while Alan’s animal companion of choice this time is… a giraffe? Guess this is what happens when you’re Todd Phillips and you can request anything you want off the back of the first two movies’ earnings…
With luck, this one will avoid the pitfalls of the repetitive sequel and bring the trilogy to a resounding, funny close. It arrives in cinemas on May 24.
