Theres a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to Hated. Theres even a punk-rock attitude to The Hangover, I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song. – Todd Phillips
I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when its a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff. – Todd Phillips
Theres a darkness under The Hangover because ultimately theres a missing person and its not really that funny. Theres a sort of darkness under it that I love, and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in Old School. – Todd Phillips
I find I like to work with a lot of the same actors, because I find that theres sort of shorthand there, and there is this unspoken trust, both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what Im going to get from them, to an extent. Its just fun, kind of creating this little family. – Todd Phillips
