Broken Lizard, the creative minds behindSuper Troopers, Beerfest, andClub Dread, are trying to get a sequel to one of their most popular movies made. The comedy team of Kevin Heffernan, Steven Lemme, Jay Chandrasekhar, Erik Stolhanske, and Paul Soter hasn't produced too many sequels, but things are brewing.
In an interview with theIlluminerditeam to discussQuasi, Broken Lizard also spoke about a follow-up toBeerfest. The site's interviewer asked whether they're involved inPotfest,and two members of the comedy troupe revealed talks withWarner Bros. are underway. Chandrasekhar concluded their comments by mentioning they're in the legal process; that's a positive update.
While the context of talks between Broken Lizard and Warner Bros. is unknown, their discussions presumably detail how much of the illicit substance will be shown onscreen. Because while marijuana has lost some of the stigma that it used to carry, a movie centered around how much weed five guys can smoke will be difficult for a big-budget studio to market to general audiences. It's worth mentioning that while R-rated movies are in Warner Brothers' catalog, there aren't many centered stoners. TheHarold And Kumarmovies are an exception, but the studio has stepped away from their brand in recent years. Even the last chapter to cap off the trilogy replaced much of the stoner comedy with dramatic collisions between the two leads.
In any case, those talks could continue for months, then there's the pre-production of negotiating contracts with actors, touring/leasing locations to shoot from, the actual shoots themselves, and then finally, post-production. So, it may be several years beforePotfesthits theaters.
The Broken Lizard team teased another project that caught fans' attention. They mentioned crossovers between their films—one of them beingSuper TroopersandBeerfest. The comedy troupe even joked about potential encounters between characters from their respective cinematic worlds. They namedropped Finkelstein and Mac working off of each other. Finkelstein is the lab scientist fromBeerfest, while Mac is the overly laidback cop fromSuper Troopers.
Mind you, there are no concrete plans for that potential crossover. Broken Lizard's comedians merely mentioned one as something fans have pitched to them over the years. It's not too preposterous to consider, although thejoint universe tropeis starting to get overplayed in Hollywood, meaning longtime fans might view a crossover as pandering to the lowest common denominator when Broken Lizard has remained consistent with their unique brand of comedy.
