Maybe Zach Galifianakis is the brains of Hollywood after all. Guy’s actually pretty lucid when you get him in the interview track–check out what he had to say when IGN asked him about the very idea of another Hangover installation:
[Director Todd Phillips] is writing the script. But I haven’t seen the script. I’m not running to do The Hangover 2. I told Todd, the last thing I want is the Police Academy chain all of the sudden, where I’m only known from… You’ve got to be careful with something like that. The movie’s really good, why bother with a sequel? And I’m not saying that I’m not going to do it.
I’m just posing these questions. These are things I ask Todd. Obviously, the reason is executives have Bentleys to pay for. I would love, love, love to work with those guys again. The script has to be good! But I’m working with Todd on a movie we’ll be shooting in about six weeks. So I’ll do that first, and then we’ll see how it goes.
Got to hand it to the guy–a lot of people would just throw themselves at it for the quick cash. Not so with Galifianakis, who at least has to think it over before selling out. I did, however, enjoy the first Hangover, so if you’re up for another go-round, Zach, I’ll buy the first round.
