First Set Pictures from The Hangover 2 Surface

Will Warner Brothers/Legendary Pictures and director Todd Phillips be able to capture lightning in a bottle twice?
It shan't be too long before we find out as The Hangover 2 hits cinemas for the Memorial Day 2011 weekend. Filming is underway, and Pop Sugar has the first set pictures of our four leads (Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) together again.
I'd be hard-pressed to imagine the follow-up topping (not to mention, matching) the $280 million gross the original comedy achieved back in June of 2009. A lot of that truthfully had to do with the overall lack of tentpoles that mind (remnants of the late-2007/early-2008 WGA Strike). So it was given proper time to bank in the big smackeross, thanks to its solid opening weekend and subsequent legs the months following. To be fair, the movie being funny as shit helped too!
Quality-wise, the sequel's even more questionable. Having a feeling we're in for a bigger-budget recycling of the original. I'm all for being wrong on this, mind you.
