"Oh you have bad day? DID YOU DIE??! Well cheer up! More 300 and Hangover on the way!








Well you can't call Warner Bros. timid. The movie company just checked raised every other movie studio with some announcements for next year's summer lineup.

First off The Hangover Part III has been officially greenlit and will be released on May 24, 2013. Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Bradley Cooper are back (with a reported $15 million a piece...whoo!) as is director Todd Phillips. Initial reports have it that the third film will not be in the vein of the first two. That's quite a relief considering the second film, while it had its moments, was just a rehash of the first movie but set in a different country. The rumor is that the film will involve breaking Alan (Galifianakis) out of a mental institution. We'll see how that goes.

The second announcement is that 300: Battle of Artemesia will premiere August 2, 2013. The prequel to director Zack Snyder's 2007 surprise hit will star Eva Green and Rodrigo Santoro and be directed by Noam Murro. Personally I think this is a completely unnecessary sequel. The original 300* was fantastic and I see no need to tarnish the legacy by making this film. However, if Eva Green gets naked I may shell out some money.

*THIS IS SPARTA!!!!! Sorry I just had to get that out.
