The Broken Lizard crew is inching closer to a green light for Super Troopers 2. The script is almost complete, the financing is in place, and the original cast is lined up.
The good news comes from an interview between the Movie Cultists and four of the five members of Broken Lizard about their next release, The Slammin’ Salmon (which I thought was funny, by the way). Jay Chandrasekhar is set to direct again and confirms “we have the financing, so we’re going to try to make a deal with Fox.” Fox Searchlight distributed the original cult comedy in 2001.
Steve Lemme added, “We’re three drafts into it.” In January, Chandrasekhar and Paul Soter talked to MovieWeb about the concept as the writing phase was just getting underway. They said the plot will pick up a few months after the first movie and the crew is recruited to patrol the Canadian border. »
