"The Hangover Part III" Talk With Screenwriter Craig Mazin

You might recognize Craig Mazin as the screenwriter of Scary Movie 3-4 and The Hangover Part II. Currently he is working on Identity Thief and The Hangover Part III.

Mazin had a lot of pressure on his shoulder when he first jumped on board The Hangover franchise. His work did not score as high as the first part, to which he responds:

"Sometimes critics disagree with the audience, and that’s fine. I make movies for the audience. I guess I hope that the critics like it, but on the other hand, I just really want the audience to like it."

"It’s not so much that the criticism makes you make different choices. Rather, the criticism makes you start anticipating the reaction to your choices, and you’ve gotta get that out of your head."

Mazin promises fans something different this time:

"We always knew the third movie was not going to have these guys waking up from a night that they’ve forgotten because we understood that it needed to happen twice, so that the third movie could end it by addressing why it happened twice."

So, we're going to see more sobriety in Part III? Let's hope that's not what he meant!
