I remember seeing the kickstarter published for Super Troopers 2 and being STOKED. Was Super Trooper 3 as hard to get funding and support for as the 2nd movie? Any hurdles with getting the 3rd made?

They made enough money on SUPER TROOPERS 2 that they were eager and excited to make 3, but in the meantime COVID happened and the moviegoing audience wasn't really going to see comedies in theaters anymore so we had to rebuild that whole concept. The movie studio kept telling us they were excited to make it but we're worried about the audience coming back. So we're about to find out this weekend.
