Bradley Cooper confirms Hangover II in the works

[HMG] – If you’re among the legion of fans who turned Bradley Cooper’s outing in last year’s ‘The Hangover’ into box office bullion, you’ll be happy to hear he’s prepping a sequel.

The whole team of Bradley, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha and director Todd Philips have now decided their plans for a sequel – which they hatched before the first film even opened — are ready to be put on the screen.

“The four of us got together and toyed around with where it was going to be and what happens,” Bradley told Jam.” And Todd came up with this hilarious opening that I hope stays in the film.”

The original was not only one of 2009′s biggest box office hits, but cost only $35-million to make and has [so far] grossed $467.3-million worldwide.

…So you can see why the guys think a sequel’s a more than average idea.

The first outing — which bowed last June – is set in Las Vegas and tells the story of what may be the most incompetent stag night in history; Three groomsmen lose the wannabe-husband, and in their drunken stumbles to find him manage instead to encounter Heather Graham, a live Bengal Tiger, a strange Chinese guy who attacks them — twice – and the one-and-only Mike Tyson.

Oh, and they even volunteer to get tased.

If you’re a Netflix subscriber, this needs to be on your wishlist…
