“The Hangover”‘s Mr Chow to play offbeat relationship coach in Black List comedy “The Chung Factor”

October 26, 2011 | Posted by Rebecca Lewis in Casting Leave a comment

“The Hangover”‘s Mr. Chow, Ken Jeong has signed on to star and produce “The Chung Factor”, reports The Wrap.

In “The Chung Factor”, “a nice guy meets the girl of his dreams after being unlucky in love. But because he’s afraid of screwing up the relationship, he takes advice from an offbeat relationship coach, played by Jeong. As it turns out, the coach is actually the woman’s ex-boyfriend and is out to sabotage the relationship and win her back.” The script was on the 2005 Black List, a compilation which notes the top screenplays of the year that have yet to be produced.

Jeong is one of the most diverse comics in Hollywood right now, and after breaking out in “The Hangover” – 2009′s hit comedy film playing a flamboyant gangster – he has found further fame on the NBC comedy show “Community”, with further solid performances in comedy films such as “Despicable Me” and “Zookeeper”, as well as action film “Transformers: Dark of the Moon”. Next up, Jeong will be voicing another animation film, “Norm of the North” for Lionsgate alongside “Diary of a Wimpy Kind”‘s Zachary Gordon.

Watch: First footage from the set of “The Hangover II”

February 11, 2011 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos 1 Comment

Entertainment Tonight is the first on the Thailand set of the sequel to last summer’s monster hit “The Hangover” and brings us our first footage of the black-out drunk antics of Doug (Justin Bartha), Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Stu (Ed Helms), whose marriage is being celebrated this time around. Other familiar faces will be returning, such as Mike Tyson and Ken Jeong as Mr Chow, but not Heather Graham. Apparently it wouldn’t have made sense for her character to have a role in the sequel since it’s set in Thailand… but bumping into Mike Tyson and Mr. Chow is completely logical. Oh well. Stu will be marrying Jamie Chung instead.

Check out the new footage, which feels much bigger than the first movie, with more locations and bigger stunts, but is it just us or is poor Doug once again conspicuously missing for most of the action? See how they manage to lose him again when the film hits theaters on May 26.
