Zach GalifianakisWhen the time comes for a third "Hangover", the new drink won't taste like the last two shots.

Zach Galifianakis tells Rolling Stone that he's already "getting fricking phone calls" about "The Hangover Part III." According to the actor, the plot would center on "his character escaping from a mental institution with help from the wolf pack." Given how Alan views the world as seen in "Part II," a trip to the looney bin might do the guy some good.

J.J. AbramsGood news and bad news, "Star Trek" fans.

Let's start with the good: it's looking very likely that J.J. Abrams will once again sit in the captain's chair for "Star Trek 2," Deadline reports. But there's a downside: the script for the sequel isn't complete — only a 70-page outline exists at the moment — and it's looking extremely unlikely that "Trek" will hit its targeted June 2012 release date. Now, the movie is likely looking at a Holiday 2012 release instead.

Hunger GamesWe're still a year away from "The Hunger Games," but you can get your first look at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen today.

Kevin James got love advice from Will Smith in "Hitch," and that worked out pretty well for the guy. Let's see how he does when lions and gorillas are the ones playing matchmaker.

Yahoo Movies has premiered the full-length trailer for "Zookeeper," the former "King of Queens" comedian's latest movie.
