First Look: The Gang Is Back For 'The Hangover 2'

With filming now underway, Todd Phillips and the cast for the highly anticipated and most likely, very raunchy “The Hangover 2” has now begun the race to reach its release date of May 26, 2011 which is only a mere seven months away.

Some first set photos have arrived and they are unsurprising. Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms are back and as we’ve all known for months now, they are headed to Thailand. And as Phillips told Empire recently, “It takes place in Bangkok and LA. There’s gonna be some fucked-up surprises.”

Galifianakis recently said he read the script and found it to be better than the original (what else is he gonna say?) though we’re more surprised there is an actual script for this since we would imagine half the one liners that make it into the film will be stuff the actors make up on the spot. And in case you really care, there’s a mildly diverting spoiler that has hit the web.

Ken Jeong is also confirmed to return and, hey look, Justin Bartha is in the new photos too. Hooray. We also expect Heather Graham to return as well, though it has yet to be confirmed. [Popsugar]
