Hangover 3 to be set in Ireland

movie news | 02 Jun 2011 | 10 comments

As long as it doesn't end up like 'Leap Year'....

It looks like The Hangover is about to confirm that Ireland is the party capital of the world. Actor Bradley Cooper has let slip a possible plot point for 'The Hanover 3', speaking to The Herald he said Hollywood bosses were considering Dublin as a setting for the next installment in the hit comedy franchise.

Director Todd Phillips is staying quiet and refusing to reveal the location of the next movie. "Obviously we always envisioned it as a trilogy" he said in a recent interview, "The third would be very much a finale and an ending...I haven't discussed it with these actors yet. [It would] not follow the same template, but is very much a new idea." Phillips also stated that the third film doesn't have a location set yet. He says about the location, "I'm very open. It'll be like being on the Olympic committee, being pitched and presented cities, flown around with wine and women and bribes."

Meanwhile, The Hangover 2 is the biggest opener for 2011 at the Irish box office, click here for more.

    As much as I would like to see it come to Ireland I don't think it'll be as good in the film as other cities as we're a lot less crazy that other places. Like Amsterdam would be a lot better when it comes to incorporating crazy things into the film.

    I've had some fantastic sessions in this country. It is doable but location wise there are better looking cities. Phoebe actually chatted to Todd Phillips at the Berlin Premiere and she asked him why they didn't have it in Dublin like the first film. His reply was "mad things happen in Dublin"

    I heard Amsterdam as well, so I'm not putting too much faith in this

  • masonica

    I didn't steal it as I fully and accurately told the situation you told me and it is your story and therefore your thunder. All yours. Please don't hit me.

    "The third would be very much a finale and an ending"
    Confirmed for Adam & Paul homage ending.

    Amsterdam would make a hell of a lot more sense. 'Tis a deadly town!

    How would a Dublin one work? They wake up in the hostel off Westmoreland Street, after a paty night in Temple Bar where they had to leave at 2-3am (I doubt they'd do Coppers...they have some style)
    The baby is replaced by a little schwai with a sparkler in his head and somehow there's a cow when they wake up?

    Sure, that's just every other Sunday morning.

    Oh my God can you imagine? I think that would be amazing!!!!! I dont think it would actually be anything a night in Dublin but still!!! I would have my chance to marry Cooper!!!

    I think it would be so much funnier if it was in the country though and not Dublin!!
