    Victory for Wraith Fans! Nick Cassavetes Replaces Neeson in Hangover 2!

    DateFri, April 8, 2011

    In a case of last minute changes (The film opens at the end of next month), Variety reports Liam Neeson's role in The Hangover Part II (itself already on everyone's radar after the originally-intended Mel Gibson was fired) has been recast. But don't start assuming Zach Galifianakis refused to work with him because he didn't really save those poor people's lives in Schindler's List or didn't actually rescue his daughter from slave-traders in Taken.

    Simply, reshoots were required for his cameo as a Bangkok tattoo artist and Neeson was already on the other side of the ocean filming Wrath of the Titans. So in steps actor/director Nick Cassavetes, of all people, to fill in.

    Who would have thought we'd go from Mel Gibson to Liam Neeson to Nick Cassavetes? No disrespect to him; just so random.
