After six months of heavy negotiations; Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have finally agreed terms with Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis to star in The Hangover 2, the sequel to last year’s breakout comedy hit.

According to Deadline’s article, the actors will each get around $5 million each while director Todd Phillips is expected to pick up a $10 million paycheck. (These figures are just the minimums.)

Last year’s The Hangover is the highest rated R-rated comedy of all time so you don’t have to look too deep into the reasons the sequel has taken so long to get green-lighted. Basically, the key players want to see the money!

Shooting could begin as early as October.
