Broken Lizard, the comedy troupe behind Super Troopers, Club Dread, and the upcoming Beerfest, have another deal lined up with WB. Seems the boys will soon be transformed into a bunch of Ambulance Chasers.
According to Variety, "Jay Chandrasekhar will sound the sirens when directing "Ambulance Chasers" for Warner Bros. through his Broken Lizard comedy shingle. Jon Zack has been hired to pen the script.
Story revolves around what happens when two fiercely competitive personal-injury lawyers fight over a new client.
The Broken Lizard team, based on the Warners lot, consists of Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske. They inked their production deal with the studio last year after the box office success of "The Dukes of Hazzard," which Chandrasekhar directed.
First up in the Warners-Broken Lizard deal is the Chandrasekhar-helmed "Beerfest," which is in post-production. As with their previous pics, "Super Troopers" and "Club Dread," the comedy troupe’s members wrote "Beerfest" together and all star.
