After the breakout success of “The Hangover” — $205 million in the U.S. alone and still going! — Zach Galifianakis is set to jump right into the deep end and is in line to replace Jack Black in Todd Phillip’s “Man-Witch,” a comedy about a man who discovers his supernatural abilities and begins teaching at an all-girls’ witch school. Black dropped out of the project last summer.
The comedian/actor has also been linked with Phillip’s “Due Date” – a pregnancy themed film which shares significant plot similarities with “The Hangover” namely a baby and a road trip – and another unknown comedy “Say Uncle” though has yet to commit to any project. Expect to see a whole lot more of this guy. [THR]
