Comment RSSThe Hangover 2 – Sequel Plans
16.06.09 # Sequel # 254 Comments
The Hangover is the sleeper hit of the summer, taking $105 million in just 10 days and outpacing recent comedy smashes Knocked Up and Wedding Crashers. A sequel has now been confirmed, so what can you expect from The Hangover 2?
The film’s director Todd Philips (Old School) said this week “We were thinking of sequel ideas when we were shooting, which sounds cocky, but we were doing it more because it was just fun to talk about ideas while hanging out on the set. Two weeks ago I was saying, ‘let’s see how it works out.’ Now that the movie has really connected, it’s something we’re doing for sure.”
He explained that shooting on ‘The Hangover 2′, or whatever it’s called, could begin as soon as next spring, and that all the main characters will return, “I wouldn’t do it unless all four guys were back,” he said. “I love The Hangover so much and I think we could crush it with the sequel. I’ve never had more fun making a movie, ever. Not that Old School wasn’t fun, but these guys were so hungry and ready to kick ass everyday. We just all gelled so well on this film.”
The cast themselves have ideas for the plot, all of which seem to, mysteriously, serve the character they are playing -
Justin Bartha (Doug the groom) says “I hope The Hangover 2 is just Doug, and he loses the three friends and has to go find them. I have a feeling that’s not what’s going to happen, and it might just be the same thing. Either way, I’m very excited about it.”
While Ed Helms (Stu) ponders “I think we would go take a submarine to Atlantis, and live with people that are half-person, half-sea horse. I’d probably hook up with Ariel the little mermaid – because she’s really hot, let’s face it. And there would probably be a little Caribbean crab that sang calypso songs.”
I’m not quite convinced, but it would be a weird place to wake up one morning.
Would you want to see a Hangover 2? What do you think should happen in it?

What makes the first so damn good is that it’s a solid mystery story. The trailer makes it look totally irreverent, but all those “weird moments” in the trailer all connect to a story … albeit a ludicrous story.
The acting and directing are top notch. This was a class act all around, totally loved this movie.
Now. Sequel. I will confess, I have NO idea what that would be. They all pass out again? That’s a little … silly. It happens to someone else? They are forced back to Vegas to face the consequences of the first film? Or, go in a whole new direction. But then you can’t call it “The Hangover 2″
Such an odd film to make a sequel to. I hope it’s as good as the first.
I’m betting the title will be something like ‘Still Hungover’ or ‘The Hangover Cure’.
Well Hung Over
Why don’t do a sequel when they lose bride after the wedding.
That’s a good idea, I like that.
Stu has to go back to Vegas for Jade.
The names hard but mabye something like “Another Hangover” Idk
But I have 2 ideas
One is doug n his wife go back 2 vegas with the $80,000 of casino chips for there honey moon n for some reason the other 3 characters end up there and mabye lose the wife like that shithead said.
Another idea is the guy who lost his tooth goes back and marriers that stripper and at the wedding the four of them get another bad hangover and lose baby carlos or something
Either way the four of them including fat jesus has to be in the movie
I think maybe they should go back to Vegas to see Jade and see Melissa stripping. Or maybe actually go to Napa and lose Alan in a vineyard or something.
Call it The Bender. Some lame hangover pun is just stupid.
I think that doug should go with his newlywed on their honeymoon and he loses her so he calls his friends to help him and they run into the most random situations on the way…something like that… i think what made the movie was the story and the script and how everything was just unexpected (like mr chow) so if they can find a way for the cast to be on a time limit looking for someone
definately they should add a scene of them paintballing i dont know why i just think it will be hilarious to watch
Here’s an idea. The guys go back to Vagas to give Stu and the stripper a formal wedding. Against their better judgement, they have another bachular party and lose the stripper bride this time. This will force them keep baby Carlos for the whole movie. Having baby Carlos and Doug for the whole movie will add a new element. They could even have one of them fight with Tyson, because they stole his tiger again.
No. No. No. Take the locale somewhere different. The reason Vegas worked so well is because it emphasizes the point, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” The entire movie is about some radical bullshit happening to these four characters, in such a way that it wouldn’t, by God’s good will, happen to ANYONE ELSE. That’s what makes the locale so good. If they want to revisit the same scheme, then the film’s going to waste a lot of potential. I mean, what made the first film so fucking great, is the fact that it’s so outrageous and at the same time coincidential. If they can achieve this effect somewhere else, then the sequel will be very good.
Cool I can’t wait. I loved this movie!
How about they go out of the country for this one. Like go to a place like Amsterdam…. now that place alone will cause a lot of trouble for them, and the fact that drug’s are leagal, there’s ton’s of adult places and unlimited booze, that would make for an excelent sequel. I don’t know why, it just seems like the perfect place if their going to be able to do a sequel to a really well done film.
