They tackled human rights, global warming, and genocide and now they are going the way of the Broken Lizard troupe? Variety reports that Participant Prods. is looking for some laughs and have teamed with Jay Chandrasekhar and Julia Dray to develop a comedy project. It’s a surprising move since titles Beerfest, Club Dread and Super Troopers aren’t especially witty, or necessary.
To be written by Will Gluck, Taildraggers revolves around five aimless twentysomethings who work as pilots for a rickety puddle-jumper airline in the Alaskan wilderness. Action heats up when the misfits discover that a competing airline is involved in a plot to siphon oil from a nature preserve.
Broken Lizard's Chandrasekhar might direct and/or star in the film as will the regualr members of the comedy troupe.
