DID YOU KNOW?

Top Releases - December

lfpack Did It Again In “Hangover II”

Bradley Cooper On Filming Part II There’s just something about The Hangover franchise that’s made it comic gold. “Once we began screening it, we realized it was something special; but we were really surprised when it just took off,” says director Todd Phillips of the first, 2009’s The Hangover, which introduced audiences to the quartet of pals with a knack for celebrating upcoming nuptials by misplacing people — populated by Bradley Cooper, his New York, I Love You costar Justin Bartha, and comic sure-shots Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. “I know my movies [including other multi-bud immorality tales Road Trip and Old School] primarily attract a certain audience because of the outrageousness of the comedy. But The Hangover connected across the board. I think that’s largely because of the love between the four guys. Their friendship feels authentic; it’s just this magic combination.” That’s because, says Cooper, it is authentic, even when the cameras stop

rolling — and especially when the group reunited in a land far, far away to film the box office record-breaking The Hangover Part II. “When I think of The Hangover, I honestly only think of the second one, because it was an indelible experience, and the love for everybody was so palpable,” Cooper admits. “I love Ed, I love Zachie, I love Todd — and we were halfway across the world. It wasn’t Vegas [this time], it was @#$%in’ Bangkok, you know what I mean? It was intense.” As for The Hangover Part III? It’s a maybe/maybe not proposition (none of the actors nor Phillips has officially put pen to contract), but it’s safe to believe that Cooper would return to lead the Wolfpack on one more misadventure. “It’s like making a movie with your brothers,” he says of the Hangover franchise. “No one has to think too hard about the process. You just go with it. Our only real objective is that people will laugh their asses off.” 5

An Absolute Must-See!

The Help

(Drama) Set in 1962 Jackson, Miss., an aspiring writer encourages the AfricanAmerican maids in her community to tell their stories about their complicated, often troubling relationships with their white employers. Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard (PG-13, 2:26) Available Beginning Dec. 6 On Demand menu: New Releases

Published With Help From Friends Anyone who has read Kathryn Stockett’s incredible novel about the lives of maids in the South would be amazed to know that The Help received dozens of rejections before Stockett’s friendship with filmmaker Tate Taylor helped lead to its publication. Stockett and Taylor grew up together in Jackson, Miss., in the 1970s. As adults, they went their separate ways — Taylor to Los Angeles to work in films and Stockett to New York to become a writer. After Stockett’s manuscript was rejected multiple times, she sent it to Taylor for suggestions. “I started reading the manuscript and was blown away,” Taylor says. “Our mothers were single moms who had to work. And they, like the women in the story, needed to get help with the children. Kathryn and I like to refer to the women who raised us as our comothers.” Taylor acquired the film rights and began adapting it for the screen. The book was published in 2009. Her novel made The New York Times bestseller list — where it stayed for 103 weeks. The Help, which Taylor directed, has already received two awards at the Hollywood Film Festival and, with its critical acclaim, will likely see more.
