Oh the joy of another "Hangover" film, I personally haven't got over the last film. What an absolute embarrassment of a film that turned out to be! There has been a few rumours circulating of what the film might entail since the second instalment was released, now we now that there is definitely a third instalment we can expect more rumours in the upcoming weeks and months.
"Dealmaking on the studio’s third instalment in the raunchy comedy franchise is wrapping up after dragging on for months due in part to the salary demands of its three stars. Sources close to the negotiations say Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms are asking for $15 million each (against backend) to reprise their roles, and they now are likely to get it. That’s a big raise from 2009’s The Hangover, which was made for about $35 million and paid the headliners under $1 million each. When the R-rated bachelor-party comedy unexpectedly grossed $467 million worldwide, the studio found itself without talent deals for a sequel. Negotiations were heated for The Hangover Part II, released last May, with the three principals each scoring around $5 million, according to a source, plus back-end compensation that raised their haul into the mid-teens (and counting) when the movie grossed $581 million worldwide."
$15 million, $15 million wage? What the hell is Hollywood coming to? $45 million on three actors wages is horrifying considering the only good "Hangover" instalment cost $35 million to make. Oh how I wish that Hollywood made films for fans and not for money.
