More Galifiankis is a good thing! What's next for the bearded one?
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love that Zach Galifianakis finally seems to be breaking through to the mainstream thanks to THE HANGOVER. Borys Kitt and Steven Zeitchik have a story over at the Risky Business, a blog at Hollywood Reporter , about the myriad of options open in front of Zach Galifiankis right now.
If the dude chooses correctly and follows up THE HANGOVER with another great comedy he'll no doubt cement himself in the public psyche.
Most of his potential projects seem to keep him paired with Todd Phillips (probably a good idea). There's a project called Due Date, which is another road trip movie where Galifianakis would play a slacker traveling with an uptight dude... I'm sure there's something there for those two to be attached to the project, but it sounds like they'd be covering the same ground.
Far more interesting to me is a flick called MAN-WITCH, a film that had Jack Black attached for a while, but sounds like it'd be absolutely perfect for Galifianakis... It's about a grown man who finds out he has magic powers and then has to attend an all girls witch school. In my mind I see Galifianakis being very creepy in a young girl's witching school, kind of the R-rated uncomfortable raunchy THE WORST WITCH. If that's what the flick is I'd be first in line. I love that kind of comedy and Galifianakis is pitch perfect for a character like that.
There's also still talk of a sequel to THE HANGOVER, which I'd love to see, too. As long as they don't try to redo the plot point of having the group black out for a night. That'd be awfully convenient and it's not needed. At this point just seeing Ed Helms, Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha together on a crazy, R-rated adventure is enough. At least thems my thoughts. Yours?
