Todd Phillips likes his exotic animals. The Hangover had a tiger, the sequel featured a monkey, and, this teaser trailer for The Hangover Part III includes cameos by a giraffe (that appears to meet an untimely end) and some sort of bird of prey. There’s also a beefy dude in a pig mask chasing Zach Galifianakis . Does that count? If you prefer your comedy to be delivered by humans, check out the sexual tension scene involving Galifianakis, Melissa McCarthy and a lollipop— and Ed Helms throwing up in his mouth. There’s not enough Ken Jeong in this clip as far as I’m concerned, but it’s good to have the Wolf Pack back. The Hangover Part III opens on May 24. More on The Hangover Part III: Engorgio!

Last year, independent film gave us Elizabeth Olsen, and this year it appears the spotlight is set to shine on her Martha Marcy May Marlene co-star Julia Garner. But whether she’s doing an indie film like Electrick Children or Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s upcoming Sin City 2 , Garner says “it’s all about finding a good story”. What’s the story behind Electrick Children ? Kickstarter! When writer/director Rebecca Thomas and producer Jessica Caldwell, then film students at Columbia, wanted to fund her feature film about a Mormon teenager’s voyage of discovery they turned to the popular website – and literally struck gold. More Mormons? Yes it looks like pop culture isn’t done with the religious group yet, Thomas told me she “wanted to adapt the Virgin Mary story from the Bible, and thought if there was ever a girl who thought she had immaculate conception it would probably be from one of these really closed-off fundamentalist communities.” Check out my full interview at The Cinema Society and Make Up For Ever’s NYC screening below: Follow Grace Randolph on Twitter .
