Dukes Director On His Next Film!

After braving the driving rain and mile-deep puddles around Leicester Square last night simply to attend The Dukes of Hazzard premiere, you will be glad to know that Empire's newshound instincts were unbeaten and unbowed. In fact, despite incipient pneumonia, we still managed to gasp a few questions in the general direction of Jay Chandrasekhar, the film's director and long-time luminary of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, and ask him about his upcoming plans. The most obvious question, of course, is that of a sequel for the Dukes, since the film has done pretty well at the US box office. "I don't know; we'll see what happens. We all had such a good time, I think we would make another one, but it really just sort of depends on how that money figures out." Well, fair enough, but hardly news. The real story is that Chandrasekhar plans to get back together with his Broken Lizard buddies for his next outing, and it sounds like they have some interesting plans. "Yeah, we're gonna make a new [Broken Lizard film] - one of two. One's called The Greek Road, and it's set in ancient Greece, with the Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, and Socrates and Plato appear. It's a road movie, where Socrates and Plato are road tripping from Athens to Mount Olympus so Plato can wrestle in the Olympics. The other film we might do is a film called Beer Fest, about the secret underground beer games in Munich. One of the two." Well, either sounds good to us
