Comedy troupe Broken Lizard (Dukes of Hazzard, Super Troopers), who signed a three-year first look deal with Warner Bros. in August, will next star in Beerfest for Warner Bros. Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The studio is acquiring the project from Sony, where it originally was set up, with an aim to shoot the movie in January in New Mexico.
Beerfest tells the tale of two brothers who go to Oktoberfest in Germany and stumble upon a super-secret, centuries-old beer games competition, described as a Fight Club with beer games. After the brothers are dealt a humiliating defeat, they return to the United States and assemble a group of all-star beer drinkers in order to make a triumphant return.
The Broken Lizard group—which consists of Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske—wrote the script and will star in it.
