The boys could be back in town for a new installment of "The Hangover," but not before they get some ginormous paychecks for the movie. Meanwhile, Chloe Sevingy could be getting Demi Moore's recently-vacated spot in "Lovelace," Russell Brand is headed to family-friendly territory and Paul Giamatti is ready for some Shakespearean tragedy.
It's January 26, and you're tuning in to today's casting call.

As soon as trailers for the new comedy "Bridesmaids" (in theaters this Friday) hit, the first thing you heard -- well, after the bouts of laughter had subsided -- was talk about how it looked like "the female version of 'The Hangover.'"
Sure, on the surface, there are similar elements (a group of oddballs get together in preparation for a wedding, Vegas is involved, things go terribly awry), but there's way more to "Bridesmaids" than meets the eye -- and don't let those previews with the Pink song fool you, this is no run-of-the-mill chick flick! Walk down the aisle with us as we compare and contrast the two gut-busting comedies.

The boys are back in town, and they're ready to party. Or, at least the monkey is.
Six new character posters for "The Hangover: Part II" have hit the web, and we're glad that Warner Bros. is finally taking a second look at our favorite people in the flick beyond just the wolf pack. That means Doug, Mr. Chow and, yes, our unnamed little simian, all have their own posters for us to drool over.
Head past the jump to check out our breakdown of the new posters!

The boys are back in town, but this is a very different town indeed.
Over the past few weeks, we've seen the first official photos and the first teaser trailer for "The Hangover: Part II," the highly anticipated sequel to Todd Phillips' 2009 punch-drunk laugh-fest. Now comes a brand new poster that proves just how low our hungover trio of friends are about to sink.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's official: the wolf pack is back.
Director Todd Phillips revealed to us last week that a teaser trailer for "The Hangover Part II" would arrive this week, and the man has lived up to his end of the bargain: the first official teaser from Phillips' first-ever sequel is finally here.
The trailer premiered over at Apple, and rather than rely on the witty banter and unimaginably filthy one-liners that made the first "Hangover" film such a standout, the sequel's official teaser puts a strong emphasis on the tease.
We start with scattered shots covering the aftermath of what must have been a very fun night gone horribly wrong. After touring through an empty Bangkok hotel room and wading through a collection of review snippets from the first film, viewers are finally treated to the money shot: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis walking down the city streets, each of them looking as if they'd just had a one-night stand with a tiger — and knowing what these guys did in Vegas, we wouldn't put that past them.
The big question remains: where is Justin Bartha? At the end of the trailer, Galifianakis mentions that it's nice to see the three of them together again, and that number does not include Bartha. Has Doug gone missing again, or are we just feasting on a piping hot plate of misdirection? We'll find out on Memorial Day when "The Hangover Part II" hits theaters!
Tell us what you think of the trailer in the comments section and on Twitter!

If you were worried that taking "The Hangover" gang out of Las Vegas for the sequel was going to change their dynamic too much, don't. The guys, who director Todd Phillips has moved to Bangkok, are still getting into heaps of trouble (though this time with less "scripted tigers" and missing teeth), and running into some familiar faces, including Mike Tyson and Ken Jeong.
Entertainment Tonight visited the set of "The Hangover 2" to see what Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha were up to abroad. Besides some seriously enviable cinematography (Cooper tells ET, "Bangkok sort of tops Vegas" and Galifianakis, wearing a jaunty hat, boasts, "This is the most un-boring place") there's a few behind-the-scenes snippets worth checking out as well.

Of all the cameos (that we know about) in "The Hangover 2," we at MTV were definitely most excited about former president Bill Clinton popping on to the Thailand set. So when we had a chance to catch up with star Ed Helms at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival (where he was promoting his new comedy "Cedar Rapids" with co-star Anne Hecht), we had to ask him how it was working with Clinton on the set.
"Check your sources," Helms chided us. "He came and visit us. I'd be surprised if there's a scene in the movie." Read More...

With all the casting rumors swirling around "The Hangover 2," it's hard to know exactly what in the name of Mike Tyson's pet tiger will be going on in the sequel to the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time.
Is Liam Neeson playing the role of the deranged Bangkok tattoo artist that was originally intended for Mel Gibson? Or will that part go to Paul Giamatti, who along with former President Clinton, just signed on for a cameo? And what happened to Heather Graham's stripper with a heart of gold and her son nicknamed "Carlos"?
Click on the image above for a gallery of the actors and actresses who'll be gracing the screen in "The Hangover 2," and hit the jump for a rundown of what we know so far about what's in store for them in the sure-to-be-raunchy sequel. Read More...

Last week, director Todd Phillips confirmed a few bare-bones details about his sequel to The Hangover," the 2008 film that launched the stars of Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis and went on to become the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time. "It takes place in Bangkok and L.A.," Phillips said, adding, "There's gonna be some f--ked-up surprises."
Today, we have our first look at "The Hangover 2" in the form of a photo from the Ontario, California, set. The pic shows our boys Cooper, Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha getting ready to hop a plane to Thailand from the Ontario Airport. (Yeah, we know we said the film is set in Bangkok and L.A. -- Ontario Airport doubles for LAX).
In addition to proving that production on the film is underway, the image is also notable in that it confirms that Justin Bartha -- whose involvement in the picture had heretofore been only a rumor -- is indeed on board for part deux. Check out the "Hangover 2" photo after the jump. Read More...

'The Hangover Part II': Looking Back On The Wolf-Pack's Path
Posted 5/24/11 5:00 pm EST by Jeremy Gordon in Commentary, News
What a long, strange trip it's been since the first "Hangover" film dropped in 2009. Who could predict that an original comedy starring three mid-level actors would gross hundreds of millions around the world, or that it would become the new standard of bromance comedy, or that you'd actually want to drink more after seeing where alcohol had led the wolf-pack?
But less surprising is how the careers of the actors involved have taken off. Almost all of the primary actors in "The Hangover" have found increased success in the biz, whether it's as action stars, comedic bit players, or reality TV stars.
How far have they come, and where are they going? Find out after the jump!
