\"\"<\/a>Liam Neeson can’t spare the time away from Mt. Olympus to make a return visit to Thailand.<\/p>\n

It turns out that scheduling conflicts are prohibiting Neeson from returning to the production of The Hangover, Part II<\/strong> to reshoot some of his cameo as a tattoo artist in the upcoming comedy. Neeson is currently shooting the Clash Of The Titans<\/strong> sequel, Wrath Of The Titans<\/strong> and can’t get away. The conflict is forcing director Todd Haynes to recast the role with actor\/director Nick Cassavetes.<\/p>\n

The role of the tattoo artist seems to be part of a joke that calls back to the first Hangover<\/strong> film, given that in the film’s trailer Ed Helms is seen sporting a Mike Tyson-esque face tattoo. Tyson appeared in the previous film.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time that the cameo has been recast. Originally, Mel Gibson had been tapped for the part, but was dropped after protests from the cast.<\/p>\n

The Hangover Part II<\/strong> opens on May 26. Wrath Of The Titans<\/strong> opens on March 30, 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
