The stars of the movie - Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Pal Soter, and Erik Stolhanske - are part of a close group called Broken Lizard who act and collaborate on the screen writing and production of their films. Some of these films include "Super Troopers," "Club Dread" and "Beerfest."

Jay joined Kevin and Steve in their online audio podcast show called "Chewin' It" back in September to discuss multiple topics including the highly anticipated "Super Troopers 2" movie.

They mentioned that while the group finalized a deal with Fox studio, the only issue holding up production for the movie was having all the funds. Fox will reportedly be distributing Super Troopers 2, but Broken Lizard needed to accumulate the necessary funds for production and marketing.

According to the Franchise Herald, Broken Lizard's kickstarter campaign was successful and the group has gathered enough funds to go through with production.

While not many details have been announced, Steve recently told Us Weekly that they plan to start the storyline of the sequel right after the ending of the first "Super Troopers." In addition, Steve mentioned they plan to begin filming early of 2015, which would be consistent with the plans of Jay Chandrasekhar.

Jay is the primary director of Broken Lizard films and said during the podcast that he loves the idea of changing up the scenery and shooting Super Troopers 2 in the winter.

"I still really like the idea of making it in the winter. Steam coming out of our mouth, unlike Game of Thrones," Jay joked.
