Broken Lizards Rogue Scholars. - Blu-ray Forum

Hey,

Broken Lizards are back. You know them from Super Troopers, Club Dread, Beerfest and more. This time around its Rogue Scholars.

Quote:

It's not that they were ever really gone, it's that the Broken Lizard comedy troupe has sort of been laying low, making indies because they can't seem to get studio backing. But now THR is reporting that Universal has picked up two new projects from Broken Lizard, one untitled, the other called Rogue Scholars. MPCA (Motion Picture Corporation of America) has partnered with BL and will finance both of the projects. Rogue is being developed as a college comedy revolving around five unruly professors played by the five members of Broken Lizard: Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske.

MPCA's Brad Krevoy wants to introduce Broken Lizard to a wider audience. In theory, Rogue Scholars will try to reach three generations of comedy fans by aiming for "college-aged funnymen" as students, BL as the teachers and an older generation as the administration. "We are hoping to have the best and brightest appear in this," Krevoy said. "If you look at [Broken Lizard's] body of work and see that they understand modern comedy, they are ready for that breakout. We want to expand them out of their core audience into a four-quadrant audience. They are worth the commitment to get these films made." I hope that's the case.

The Concept of the story sounds funny. Question is will they deliver?

Enjoy.

Slang spinoff for Beerfest.

Don't even want to think of how far they will push it.

I haven't seen anything from them that I didn't like. I hope they get the ball rolling

Can't wait. I guess this means Super Troopers 2 is dead then?

I still need to see Slammin Salmon. I like their work alot except for Club Dread.

I'm a BL fan for sure. Club Dread grew on me after a few viewings, I hated it the first time I saw it in the theater with my wife, her brother, and like the 3 other people who came to watch it.

I thought Club Dread was good. But definitely not as good as Super Troopers.

Thats the thing about BL's Club Dread. I didn't enjoy CD at first, now I like it more than before.

Its time the movie comes out on bluray.

that might be the unnamed project, it might be that they are just waiting they have it all ready to go and locked in before they make an announcement, becasue they dont want it to fall apart if this other movie doesnt do well
