Zach Galifianakis is what folk in Hollywood call "hot" after his break out turn in The Hangover saw him inundated with offers from various studios, in the hope of turning him into the next Will Ferrell. What's looking more likely for him now is Man Witch, a film which was due to start rolling last January with Jack Black in the lead role. When Black pulled out, the producers held out hope that another comedy heavyweight would sign on the dotted line, and it might just be Galifianakis who does. That said, the man has an array of options on the table including Due Date another road trip comedy that tentatively has his Hangover helmer Todd Philips attached to helm also. Whatever happens, Galifianakis and Philips will surely start work on The Hangover 2 very soon as the films worldwide gross nears a staggering $300 million - from a $30 million budget. You can see me having a chat with Galifianakis and Philips here.
