Take your charcoal tablets, "Hangover" gets repeat

The newest flick from Old School director, Todd Phillips, isn't even out yet, and it has already been greenlit a sequel. The Hangover will open June 5th, and Warner Bros. is so confident in it that the studio has asked Phillips to write a script for the possible sequel.

In the comedy, groomsmen take their betrothed friend for a last fling in Las Vegas, then become so caught up in the revelry that they lose the groom.

While studios often wait to see box office results before committing to a sequel, The Hangover has tested strongly, and a trailer brought down the house at ShoWest.

This sequel is the second in the past week to be put in motion before opening day of the first film. Though Star Trek doesn't open until May 8, Paramount Pictures already has started the countdown on a second installment.

The studio hopes to begin production on The Hangover sequel late this year with all the key players, including the delightful Bradley Cooper.

We totally dug the trailer, which you can see below, but this still feels like jumping the gun a wee bit early to us.
