THR broke the news today that Bateman, Day and Sudeikis are now all set to reprise their roles in the sequel, with Jamie Foxx in talks to reprise his role as the man who mentored them in the art of boss disposal. In the original film Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey played the titular bosses, only one of whom perished. For the sake of those who haven?t seen the flick, we won?t reveal who it was here, but rest assured THR does make note of it.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who penned the original, worked on a draft of the sequel?s script earlier this year, with Gordon signing on as director once again to boot. With New Line eying a late August production start, one assumes they?re happy with what Daley and Goldstein delivered.

I liked the film but it is one of those films that doesn't really need a sequel.

It is like The Hangover. Film that did well, so they make a sequel of a film that doesn't really need one.

Anyway, anything with Dayman in is worth watching.

Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz Join Returning Stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey for this Sequel to the Hit Comedy ?Horrible Bosses?

 

BURBANK, Calif.? Filming has begun in Los Angeles on New Line Cinema?s ?Horrible Bosses 2,? directed by Sean Anders (?Sex Drive?). The follow-up to the 2011 hit comedy ?Horrible Bosses? reunites stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as everyone?s favorite working stiffs Nick, Dale and Kurt. Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey also reprise their starring roles, while Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz star as new adversaries standing between the guys and their dreams of success.

 

Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business in ?Horrible Bosses 2.? But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal recourse, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor?s adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.

 

Sean Anders directs from a screenplay by Anders & John Morris (?We?re the Millers?), and by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein (?Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2?), who also served as writers on the first film. ?Horrible Bosses 2? is being produced by Brett Ratner, Jay Stern, John Morris, John Rickard and Chris Bender, with Diana Pokorny and John Cheng serving as executive producers.

 

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Julio Macat (?Pitch Perfect?), production designer Clayton Hartley (?We?re the Millers?), editor Eric Kissack (?The Dictator?) and costume designer Carol Ramsey (?Identity Thief?).

 

?Horrible Bosses 2? is a New Line Cinema presentation of a RatPac Entertainment/Benderspink production. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

I enjoyed the first one, and unlike The Hangover it looks like they're trying to progress with the story rather than just rehash the first film. I'll check it out.

I'll watch it though just to see what Jennifer Aniston is going to say or do. :)

Heh, I read that Jennifer Aniston was returning and thought, "well at least there is one thing I can look forward to, even if the rest of the film is a disaster." :laugh:

The film was okay, but it was so ridiculous. My favourite part was the office part near the beginning. If the entire movie was like that scene I would have thought it was a better film. :p

 

In fact.. I'll just watch Office Space again.  :laugh:

This whole thing reminds of the journalist that asked Drew Goddard if The Cabin in the Woods would have a sequel.

 

Why? The first movie was fine. Go do something else instead of driving it into the ground like The Hangover.

Watched it the first time and hated it.. watched it again (thanks movie channels) and loved it lol.. ive seen it about 5 times now..

 

Funnily enough i started watching the first and switched it off because it bored me, the sequel looks fun i may have another go at the first hopefully i'll love it too. The cast is great i'm not sure why i didn't like it.

    • The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
