Zach Galifianakis

It's been a great summer for Zach Galifanakis. He had a Hangover in Vegas, got a Due Date with Robert Downey, Jr., and was Bored to Death by Ted Danson.

Now, it looks like he may be playing... a giant egg?

Yep, Galifanakis is currently in negotiations to play Humpty Dumpty in the Shrek spinoff Puss in Boots. I mean, really, where else could you go from playing baby-toting, slow-witted Alan Garner?

Tom Wheeler is writing the screenplay for the prequel, which will feature the voices of Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek in a story about the events leading up to the feline assassin's first meeting with Shrek & Co. in the second film.

Puss is set for a November 4, 2011 release.

There definitely will be a sequel to The Hangover.

But star Zach Galifianakis is actually unsure if there should be.

In an interview with IGN, the actor said:

[Director Todd Phillips] is writing the script. But I haven't seen the script. I'm not running to do The Hangover 2. I told Todd, the last thing I want is the Police Academy chain all of the sudden, where I'm only known from… You've got to be careful with something like that. The movie's really good, why bother with a sequel? And I'm not saying that I'm not going to do it.

I'm just posing these questions. These are things I ask Todd. Obviously, the reason is executives have Bentleys to pay for. I would love, love, love to work with those guys again. The script has to be good! But I'm working with Todd on a movie we'll be shooting in about six weeks. So I'll do that first, and then we'll see how it goes.

After Iron Man and The Hangover, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis are two of the hottest names in Hollywood, so it's no shock that Warner Brothers have recruited the two to star opposite each other in Due Date.

The buddy comedy will have Downey playing an expectant father on a road trip with a mismatched partner (Galifianakis), as they race to get to the birth of his first child.

Production is set to begin this fall.

Get ready to see a lot more of comedian Zach Galifianakis.

The funny man's career is about to hit the big time it seems, with a pair of roles on the big screen. First, he'll be starring in Jerry Bruckheimer's family film G-Force, followed by the raunchy comedy What Happens in Vegas...

In G-Force, Galifianakis will play a government scientist in charge of a guinea pig commando program, helping to send the furry but highly trained elite agents on a dangerous mission. Yes, you read all that correctly.

In Vegas, meanwhile, Galifianakis plays Ashton Kutcher's best friend, who is totally opposed to marriage. When Kutcher drunkenly marries Cameron Diaz during a wild night out in Sin City, Galifianakis' character flips out, in a funny way.
