There’s a sequel coming for Super Troopers, the 2001 comedy from the dudes of Broken Lizard–that’s Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Erik Stolhanske, Paul Sote, and Steve Lemme. It was Lemme who confirmed the news, in an interview with Us Weekly.

“You know, it was a combination of having to settle some of the legal disputes about making a sequel, while also negotiating terms for it,” he told the magazine. Fox is set to distribute, but Broken Lizard will need to raise funds for the production, with a minimum budget of $27 million. Lemme teased the possibility of a Kickstarter “to raise the last little bit.”

He went on to say that the plan for now puts pre-production work in November 2014, with filming to kick off in early 2015. He didn’t delve into the sequel’s plot, though he did make a promise regarding the first film’s opening scene, which involved a surreal exchange between Chandrasekhar and Stolhanske, both highway cops, and a car full of stoners.

“I think it’s one of the more unique and interesting stories I’ve seen in awhile. But the movie picks up pretty much where we left off in the first one. It’s a few years later,” Lemme said of the sequel. “The biggest difficulty was trying to top that opening scene, which so many people have complimented us on. I think we’ve done it.”

Stop! Watch these Netflix movies before March 2024 ends

One of the blessings of streaming services like Netflix is that, in addition to their libraries of original titles, they also have titles that come and go on a regular basis. While the introduction of new titles is always nice, the downside is that titles usually leave the service when new ones join.

As March turns into April, we're going to lose some genuinely great movies on Netflix. While you still have time, though, you should check these three very different movies out.

Sony drops The Spider Within, a new Spider-Verse animated short
Miles Morales' double life as Spider-Man hangs over his thoughts in The Spider Within.

If everything had gone to plan for Sony Pictures Animation, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse would have been released in theaters last week. The previous Spider-Verse film, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, left Miles Morales on quite a cliffhanger ending, and we're still waiting for that to be resolved in the sequel. But in the interim, Sony Pictures Animation is checking in with Miles in a new animated short, The Spider-Within: A Spider-Verse Story.
