Super Troopers Team Making Satirical Hunchback Of Notre Dame Movie

Super Troopers team Broken Lizard are reuniting to make a satirical Hunchback of Notre Dame movie titled Quasi for Searchlight Pictures. Comprised of Heffernan, Jay Chandrasekhar, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske, the comedy troupe have been together for 25 years and rose to fame with their first wide-release comedy Super Troopers in 2001. Despite the film’s cult status and modest theatrical success, the majority of the group’s follow-up films wouldn’t reach the same level of financial success, instead garnering cult followings from fans with 2004’s Club Dread and 2006’s Beerfest.

After taking a decade to work on separate projects but still popping up in each other’s work, Broken Lizard would properly reunite in 2018 with the long-gestated Super Troopers 2 after a successful crowdfunding campaign convinced Fox Searchlight Pictures the demand was there for the sequel. Hitting theaters in 2018, the film scored generally mixed reviews from critics similar to its predecessor, but was again a modest box office success, grossing over $31 million against is final $13.5 million budget. While the troupe have reportedly been working on a Super Troopers 3, it appears they have a different idea for their next project.

A few years after the full group were together on the big screen, Variety has brought word that Super Troopers team Broken Lizard are reuniting for a satirical Hunchback of Notre Dame movie entitled Quasi at Searchlight Pictures. Heffernan will be directing and starring in the film alongside the rest of the comedy troupe, who co-wrote the film with Heffernan, and will also star Adrianne Palicki. Heffernan wrote about the film in the following statement:

“I’m très, très excited to get the Broken Lizard gang back together. But I’m even more excited to finally put my PhD in French Medieval Studies to use. It’s been a long time coming.”

The confirmation of Broken Lizard reuniting for Quasi is sure to come as exciting news for Super Troopers fans who have been eager to see the troupe properly reunite. While Heffernan and Lemme currently serve as co-creators, co-showrunners and stars of the comedy series Tacoma FD at truTV, on which Soter has also made a cameo appearance, this will mark their first true reunion since Super Troopers 2. It’s also interesting to note that the plot describes putting the hunchback in the middle of “a murderous feud” between the Pope and King of France as they both order him to kill the other, adding an extra level of tension not seen in previous adaptations of Victor Hugo’s gothic novel.

With Heffernan set to both star and direct Quasi, it seems he is primed to bring the titular Hunchback of Notre Dame to life. It’s interesting to note the film also marks the first Broken Lizard title to be directed by Heffernan since 2009’s The Slammin’ Salmon, which marked the group’s last feature film for nearly a decade before the release of Super Troopers 2. With production currently underway on Quasi in Los Angeles, fans of the comedy troupe will hopefully hear word of the film’s planned Hulu premiere date in the near future.
