07.10.09 NEXT UP FOR PHILLIPS & GALIFLIANAKANALIS
Ever since The Hangover became the second highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever, speculation on what Todd Phillips and Zach Galifiniakis’ next project would be has run wild like an aborigine with a spear in the jungle. Now Variety reports that the pair will do Due Date, to be followed by The Hangover 2 a year later.
Galifianakis will play one of the two leads in “Due Date,” an Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland [King of the Hill - eek] script that was revised by Adam Sztykiel [Made of Honor. Oof]. In the comedy about fatherhood, an expectant dad and his unlikely travel companion (Galifianakis) race cross-country in hopes of making it home for the birth of his first child.
Phillips is on track to earn $35 million or more on “The Hangover” after he gave back his salary and gross position to become an equity investment partner in the pic. Move allowed him to make the film with Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, who were not proven at the box office. Phillips never wagered as smartly as he did on “The Hangover.” Because he insisted on his cast, WB Pictures Group prexy Jeff Robinov gave him a budget ceiling of $34 million, and the only way Phillips could make that number was to work for scale and use salary and gross to buy his way into being an equity investor.

F-ck yeah, Todd Phillips. Uh, he’s here for the gangbang? But seriously, it’s pretty awesome when someone in Hollywood lays his nuts on the table and ends up proving everyone wrong. Usually the only time you see nuts laid on the table is when squirrels gamble.

NEXT UP FOR PHILLIPS & GALIFLIANAKANALIS
Tom Cruise could lay his nuts on the table in front of a bunch of guys and prove everyone right.
True, but I could show you a picture of David Carradine with his nuts lei’d with a cable. Pretty much the same thing, only he proved himself perverted.
Hey, what a coincidence! I remember finding our about a Due Date after a Hangover 2.

Arrgh, faux cue!
Todd Phillips is shrewd and he makes funny movies, but he’s super rich and successful, so fuck him.
This is how you gently sex up someone’s childhood instead of raping it. You take the basic concept behind National Lampoon movies and you write original scripts while keeping the same kind of zany antics we grew up with and loved.
That didn’t come out as well as I would have liked.
^My mother says that about me too.
You can’t spell Galiflianakanalis without Anal Anal Gal.
So basically Lindsay Lohan is a lot like Todd Phillips, except where Phillips is making shrewd gambles based on talent, Lohan is showing everyone her diseased vagina.
I enjoy dinner, a movie and scat on my doo dates.
Lindsay Lohan is like that dude, who sells drugs to you, but then wants to hang out and considers you a friend because of it. Except that you didn’t page lindsay lohan, she found you. And she keeps doing all your drugs.
Chino, I’ll be your doo-ty call anytime.
My date rape is EXXXTREME on my Dew Dates.
Vince must have seen National Geographic’s new attempt at getting the younger audience back, “Aborigines Gone Wild”. Sure, it’s a bunch of naked dudes and floppy-tittied women, but that’s the best they can do.
I’ll wait for the French DVD double release, Le Hangover part Deux Date.
I like dates, but doo dates taste like shit.
Jack!, meet Chino’s dick.
It’s a good thing Walter Sobchak throws so many strikes. He has to make up for all the Dude Eights.
New up.
