Die amerikanische Komikertruppe Broken Lizard ("Super Troopers") will ihren nächsten Film auf dem Münchner Oktoberfest spielen lassen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen zwei amerikanische Brüder, die auf den Wiesn beim jährlichen Saufsport gegen die gestählten Bayern jämmerlich versagen. Zurück in den Staaten sammeln sie nur die besten Kampftrinker um sich und arbeiten das ganze Jahr an ihrer Trinkfestigkeit, damit sie beim nächsten Oktoberfest die Deutschen in Grund und Boden bechern können. Passender derzeitiger Arbeitstitel des Warner Bros. Projekts ist "Beerfest".
Two brothers travel to Germany for Oktoberfest, only to stumble upon secret, centuries-old competition described as a "Fight Club" with beer games.
Warner Bros. has provided ComingSoon.net with three exclusive pictures from the upcoming Broken Lizard comedy Beerfest, which hits theaters on August 25.
When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a super-secret, centuries old, underground beer games competition – "Beerfest," the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate Todd and Jan, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event. Vowing to return in a year to defend their country and their family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers: Barry Badrinath, the consummate skills player with a dark past; Phil Krundle (aka Landfill), a one-man chugging machine; and Charlie "Fink" Finklestein, the lab tech with a PhD in All Things Beer. This Magnificent Five train relentlessly, using their hearts, minds and livers to drink faster, smarter and harder than they ever have before. But first they must battle their own demons... as well as a bunch of big, blond, German jerks who want to destroy the team before they can even make it back to Munich. http://www.comingsoon.net
