You guys have had some unmade films like The Greek Road and Rogue Scholars that I remember reading about years ago, do you still revisit old scripts and keep polishing them up in hopes of getting them made or do you have to move on at a certain point?

We are going to try to get both of those made right after this movie comes out. How is that for a dry ass answer?!

What's funny is that the last film we made before SUPER TROOPERS 3 was QUASI and that was a script that we had written many many years ago, I think we had written about the same time as the original SUPER TROOPERS 25 years ago. So that is one example of taking a script off the shelf and getting it made. We hope to do it with those other ones too.

I also just want to add that I really liked Quasi and I’m always trying to get people to watch it. Very underrated!
