Harry Potter-esque poster for "The Hangover Part III"



     Like it or not The Hangover Part III is landing a few months from now and while we've heard virtually nil on the plot, the studios have finally released the above teaser poster.  I rarely do a post on posters but I couldn't resist this one.  I love Todd Phillips' sense of humor here.  The poster seems to be a combination of two previous movie posters.  The first and most obvious is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, but in this instance it is Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) and Allan (Zach Galifianakis) facing off rather than Harry and Voldemort.  Also the fact that this is the "epic finale" to the Hangover trilogy and that Vegas is burning in the background is reminiscent of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight posters.  It seems that Phillips is poking a little fun at trilogies and franchises in general.  Let's just hope that the poster isn't the funniest thing about the final film.
     The Hangover Part III hits theaters May 24th and the first teaser trailer debuts tomorrow.

  1. That is GREAT...huge props to the graphic designer on this one, though the sight of Vegas in flames is not exactly appealing to me lol
