By this point, most people seemed to have stopped going on about how The Hangover Part II basically amounted to a lackluster replica of its predecessor - and are instead now expressing their hope that the inevitable Part III will bring something new to the comedy table.
Right before Part II hit theaters, director Tod Phillips began discussing his plans for The Hangover Part III to NOT be "in the same template" as the first two entries in the series. So exactly what shenanigans might The Wolfpack be up to that don't involve getting outrageously drunk one night, only to wake up to a crisis the next morning as they try and piece together what craziness went down?
Hangover star Zach Galifiankis sat down recently for an interview with Rolling Stone, during the course of which he revealed some information about what Hangover 3 might entail. To quote:
According to what [Galifianakis has] heard, the plot [of 'Hangover 3'] ditches the format of the first two and focuses on his character escaping from a mental institution with help from the wolf pack.
The idea of Alan (Galifianakis) being committed in the third Hangover movie doesn't exactly require a stretch of the imagination. The reason for breaking him out of a prison-like setting is anyone's guess right now, but it would at least give Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and maybe even Doug (Justin Bartha) something new to do this next time around.

It's been two years since the gang known as the Wolfpack narrowly escaped disaster in Bangkok. Now, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) have happy lives at home -- but Alan (Zach Galifianakis) doesn't. Still lacking contentment and a sense of purpose, Alan has gone off his meds and surrendered to his natural impulses. It's up to the other members of the Wolfpack to get him through his personal crisis by embarking on a road trip to the place it all began: Las Vegas. Full synopsis

Storyline
This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
A Los Angeles-based story that will deviate from the forgotten-debauchery formula of the first two films. It's safe to say a reunion between Stu and Jade is on the itinerary.
