The actor is now reuniting with the film’s director Todd Phillips, albeit for a more serious project – namely an HBO series about ISIS.
Bradley Cooper may be turning in less overtly comedic roles of late (Joy, American Sniper) but 2007 comedy The Hangover remains a high point of his career so far (sequels not included).
Cooper is providing voice work for his next two films – a canine in family film A Dog’s Purpose and Marvel sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Cooper and Phillips, who co-own production company Joint Efforts, brought the idea to the book’s author who agreed to plans to adapt it into an HBO miniseries.
