The Broken Lizard guys have spent many years making films and making a little money off them, even if none of them have been giant hits that made them all millionaires. Fresh off a visit to Sundance's edgier cousin, Slamdance, where they spoke to our Steve West, the team behind Super Troopers and Beerfest is gearing up for another project.
Variety is reporting that a large cast has signed on to Freeloaders, a comedy about people who live in a rock star's mansion as, well, freeloaders. The movie will star Jane Seymour, Dave Foley, Clifton Collins Jr., Josh Lawson, Kevin Sussman, Zoe Boyle, Nat Faxon and Warren Hutchinson, as well as Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz, who is also producing.
No, I have no idea how the unholy union of the Counting Crows and Broken Lizard came about, but I kind of love it. Dan Rosen, who seems to be a new addition to the Lizard troupe, will write and direct.
