Jamie Chung, From �Sucker Punch� To �Hangover Part II�


Jamie Chung is quickly becoming one of Hollywood�s most sought after young actresses. Fresh getting rave notices as the fiercely loyal Amber in Zack Snyder's epic action-adventure �Sucker Punch,� she now stars in Warner Bros.' new outrageous comedy �The Hangover Part II,� opposite Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha.

In the film, Phil (Cooper), Stu (Helms), Alan (Galifianakis) and Doug (Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu�s wedding to Lauren (Chung). After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don�t always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can�t even be imagined.

Lauren is marrying Stu despite her father�s objections. Ed Helms elaborates, �Her father, Fohn, despises Stu because he sees Stu as a milquetoast-y, spineless nerd�which is half-true but not altogether fair.�

Jamie Chung counters, �Lauren thinks Stu is so adorable, she couldn�t help but fall in love with him. It doesn�t matter that her father doesn�t approve. She is a woman with a mind of her own. She has always done what she wanted to do�and she wants to marry Stu.�

How does Chung feel to be the only female star in a male-dominated cast? �I had just done `Sucker Punch' with a bunch of girls so I was scared to find myself surrounded by guys,� she explains. �But they were all really nice and welcoming. The only problem is they�re always �on�, especially Zach. It keeps you on your toes.�

The movie was shot in Thailand, and Jamie enjoyed getting the chance to appreciate the country�s stunning scenery, and she had fun filming a host of wacky scenes. �Most of my scenes take place at this beautiful resort, but by the end of the movie my character gets drawn into the Bangkok craziness,� she smiles.

Previously, Jamie Chung played Rob Schneider�s daughter in the hit summer comedy �Grown Ups,� alongside Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James and David Spade. She recently wrapped production on �The Man with the Iron Fists,� starring Russell Crowe.

On the small screen, Chung starred as the lead in the hit ABC Family original event �Samurai Girl.� The six-episode series revolved around her character, Heaven, the adopted daughter of wealthy parents who strives to balance a normal life with the Samurai traditions of her ancestors.

Chung�s other film and television credits include the horror feature �Sorority Row,� the adventure film �Dragonball: Evolution,� and roles on �ER,� �Grey�s Anatomy,� �Castle� and �CSI: NY,� as well as recurring appearances on �Greek.�

Opening across the Philippines on June 8, �The Hangover Part II� is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
