With Super Troopers 2 in production since last week, it seems they have some room for a new cast member. Fresh out of the Comedy Central Roast char-griller, Rob Lowe has joined the cast of the film ready to serve up some Canadian border patrol antics...
The Broken Lizard officers of the Vermont State Troopers will soon ride again with the release of its Kickstarter-funded sequel, but the comedy troupe’s Beerfest may also pour another glass in the near future. A new Beerfest series is reportedly in the works at The CW, but will Broken Lizard itself have any involvement?
The men of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe — Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske — have been together since 1990, when they met and began performing together at Colgate University. They toured their first film, Puddle Cruiser, around the country (I remember when they came to my school with it in the fall of 1998), and its indie success led to their first breakout hit: Super Troopers, about the misadventures of a bunch of small-town cops. Broken Lizard went on to produce three more features, but none matched the profile and cult status of Super Troopers. Perhaps that’s why they’re now at work on a Super Troopers 2 — and why they’ve taken to crowdfunding the film on the fundraising website Indiegogo.
