The Hangover Part II teaser trailer

The boys (a.k.a. “The Wolfpack”) are back!

I wasn’t a huge fan of The Hangover on first watch but since watching it again and writing a Story Map of it, I’ve grown to really appreciate it. It’s a fantastic concept that takes a story we’ve seen 1,000 times and gives it a fresh hook, then adds hilarious characters and set pieces, and keeps it all to a brisk 98 minutes. What more could you want?

My Full Story Map for The Hangover (some thoughts here) will be featured in my upcoming book Story Maps: How to write the GREAT Screenplay. I’m finalizing it now, I promise! Gunning for a March release for the book, so stay tuned.

Without further adieu, here’s the new teaser trailer for the Hangover 2:

I love how it’s not clear for about a half-second that it’s a monkey walking in pants. Genius. Or maybe I just love monkeys in any kind of clothing. In fact, I know I love monkeys in clothing, so let’s put that issue to rest. Anyway, point is, I’m seeing this. How ’bout you?
