Todd Phillips Says Third Hangover Will Be the Last

Filmmaker Todd Phillips is finally getting over his Hangover.
As part of an announcement Thursday of the release date of the third installment of the wildly successful comedy franchise, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures included a statement from Phillips noting that Hangover Part III will be the last.
"We're going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned," Phillips said. "It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions."
The third Hangover film will hit theaters May 24, 2013, the same Memorial Day weekend perch that helped Hangover II gross $581.5 million worldwide.
After prolonged deal negotiations, stars Bradley Cooper, Zack Galafianakis and Ed Helms are set to return.
Phillips, who again is writing the screenplay with Craig Mazin (Hangover Part II), didn’t give any indication where the third story will take place, though THR reported that a recent draft of the script was set in Los Angeles and deviated from the forgotten-debauchery formula of the first two films.
