Broken Lizard Industries is the umbrella that covers all the movies collectively created by the crew who made Super Troopers, Beerfest, and the recent Slammin’ Salmon, including films they either pen or produce. Though their movies have somewhat minimal impact on the global consciousness, these guys have become old pros at selling scripts, developing properties, and making very good friends in the comedy scene.
Especially Jay Chandrasekhar, BL’s chief director and a guy whose TV credits are a geek’s wet dream. A while back the boys wrote and sold a comedic Western called Mustache Riders for Johnny Knoxville to star in. Some of you may remember Jay from a few Jackass moments through the years.
The script is getting a polish by newly announced writers Robbie Pickering and Jase Ricci, probably spurred on (boom) by Knoxville (who also produces) to get the thing custom made for his skill set and ready for screens. Face it, the Broken Lizard style, though glorious to me, might benefit from Knoxville’s considerable gifts.
Way I see it, this thing will get made. And it’ll do well. That can only mean good things for us all as a people.
Fans of the Lizardmen can next see them in the upcoming Freeloaders, a film produced by Adam Duritz. Adam Duritz. That is not a typo.

"Face it, the Broken Lizard style, though glorious to me, might benefit from Knoxville's considerable gifts."
Dukes Of Hazzard?
duritz isnt new to the producing game…he produced a couple of very independent films in the late 90's…although i dont share your intense hatred of him, nick, it is extremely bizarre that he produces since im sure his knowledge of film is a big fat zero
Round Here lyrics
Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
[Chorus]
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
she parks her car outside of my house
takes her clothes off
says she's close to understanding Jesus
she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
[Chorus:]
Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she's slipping through my hands
Sleeping children better run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning
She says It's only in my head
She says Shhh I know it's only in my head
But the girl in car in the parking lot
says "Man you should try to take a shot
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
and says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
she must be tired of something
Round here she's always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
The very idea that a talentless dorklord like Adam Duritz has had carnal knowlege of a godess like Mary Louise Parker is a prime example of why Im an atheist. (Verification attempt #5)
"a guy whose TV credits are a geek's wet dream" — You're tellin me you literally wake up with cum in your drawers after dreaming about a guy who directed episodes of 'Oliver Beene' and the new version of 'Knight Rider'? Or was that a metaphor?
"Though their movies have somewhat minamal impact on the global consciousness…" Really? 'minamal'?
Unlike Simon MacCorkindale, who had a Manimal impact on the global consciousness.
