Shooting SuperTroopers feels like Wayne’s World or Austin Powers did. This one could be really special. Insane. Funny. Quotable for days.

The Super Troopers followup got the green light after raising more than $4.5 million through crowdfunding efforts last year. The film is set to reunite original writers and cast members Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske, and will once again feature Chandrasekhar in the director’s chair.
