Quasi, an upcoming film from Broken Lizard that parodies The Hunchback of Notre Dame, is set for a release on April 20, 2023. Broken Lizard, the studio behind Super Troopers, made a serious run at being"the next National Lampoon" in the early 2000s, but so far its biggest hits have all required those trooper mustaches.
Per TheWrap, Kevin Hefferman will direct Quasi from a script written by Broken Lizard members Steve Lemme, Jay Chandrasekhar, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske. The Broken Lizard team will also star in the film alongside Agents of SHIELD veteran Adrianne Palicki. The project was announced in November of last year, and entered production in Los Angeles shortly after. By April 20, 2022, it had wrapped principal photography. That gave it a year before release to finish post-production work...
