Although the concept of the sequel, Hangover 2, has been kept tightly under wraps recently stars of the film have begun accidentally spilling details of the film to the press.
In Zach Galifinakis's recent interview with Comedy Death Ray Podcast he complained of creative differences with film producers calling the situation "frustrating" to which his interviewer commented that Galifinakis was currently working on the Hangover sequel. Galifankis quickly tried to hush up the interviewer but the damage was already done.
Reportedly, Galfinakis is not the only star of the film to be upset with concepts in the sequel. In response to the backlash of concern from Hangover fans after Galifinakis's comment, director of the sequel, Todd Phillips (Old School), announced this week that he would replace a cameo of a tattoo artists originally set to be played by recent headline-grabber, Mel Gibson to Taken star, Liam Neeson.

Although many believe that Hangover is only being given the sequel based on their impressive $105 million gross after only 10 days in theaters, Phillips stated that the cast and himself knew the movie would be successful after only the first few days of filming. "We were thinking of sequel ideas when we were shooting, which sounds cocky, but we were doing it more because it was just fun to talk about ideas while hanging out on the set," said Phillips.
