‘Super Troopers’ Director To Rewrite And Helm Yogi Bear Sequel

Warner Bros. has tapped Jay Chandrasekhar to rewrite and direct the sequel to 2010’s Yogi Bear. The original film was written by Jeffrey Ventimilia (Rio) and Joshua Sternin (The Tooth Fairy), with Eric Brevig (Men In Black) directing. The film wasn’t very well received critically but went on to make over $200 million worldwide.

Jay Chandrasekhar, who you probably know best as a member of Broken Lizard, has also directed The Babymakers, Super Troopers, Beerfest, Club Dread as well as the 2005 Dukes Of Hazzard film. Chandrasekhar has also directed episodes of Up All Night, Royal Pains and Community. So, this film could actually turn out to be pretty damn funny.

The 2010 film featured the voice acting credits of Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake and Anna Faris, but there is currently no word as far as if any of this cast will be returning. But why wouldn’t they?
