Todd Phillips Interview
Writer/director Todd Phillips promised there would be a third and final instalment to his Hangover films and he is true to his word. The Hangover Part III is finally here and the Wolfpack (Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis) find themselves in a whole new mess of trouble. Phillips says there is a darker but more realistic tone in this final chapter, which focuses on Alan (Zach Galifianakis). There are still plenty of laughs to be found, but Phillips stresses that Part III is more about the resolution of these characters and their emotional baggage rather than the hook of a forgotten night of partying.
Tribute.ca spoke with Todd in Las Vegas about saying goodbye to the franchise, how life has changed for him and the actors since the first film and how his mother really feels about his career.
