Todd Phillips’ Crime Thriller Hires Screenwriter Peter O’Brien

By: Sean O’Connell For the entirety of his career, Todd Phillips has been responsible for medium-concept, ridiculously successful male-centric comedies. But once he puts the finishing touches on his third Hangover movie, which has circled a May 24, 2013 release date, it’s sounding like Phillips will attempt to go in a completely different direction, tonally speaking.
