Nick Cassavetes Replaces Liam Neeson in ‘THE HANGOVER Part II’
So at first we had Mel Gibson making a cameo in The Hangover Part II, then he gets replaced by Liam Neeson and now director Todd Philips has "kind of" replaced Neeson with Nick Cassavetes and is going in to do a few reshoots. Blame the Clash of the Titans sequel for Neeson's departure, there was no bad blood there.
Variety reports that a cut immediately after the cameo scene was necessary for the reshoot, because the scene with the cameo now needs to give up more story information. Good enough; it’s the sort of thing that happens often.
