Myriad to handle foreign on Broken Lizard’s ‘Freeloaders’
November 3rd, 2011 | 
Author: Myriad Pictures has acquired rights outside North America to the Broken Lizard comedy “Freeloaders,” which has been on the shelf more than a year.
“Freeloaders” is directed by Dan Rosen and starring Jane Seymour, Dave Foley, Olivia Munn and Clifton Collins, Jr. Myriad is selling the finished film, which hasn’t been released in the U.S., at the American Film Market.
Script, written by Rosen and Dave Gibbs, follows a group of slackers living for free in a rock star’s mansion and discover their cherished lifestyle is threatened when the musician decides to sell his pad.
Project’s produced for Broken Lizard by long-time Lizard collaborator and producer Richard Perello and Julia Dray, under the five-member filmmaking comedy group’s shingle. “Freeloaders” was brought to Broken Lizard in the early stages of development.
“When we read the script for Freeloaders, we jumped at the chance to help shepherd the filmmakers through,” said Jay Chandrasekhar of Broken Lizard. “Having been to some pretty wild parties in our lives we knew this would make a very funny movie.”
Thomas Gardner, Gregory P. Cimino II and Adam Duritz (of the band Counting Crows) are also producing. Matthew Pritzker is executive producing with his production company, Turbo Streak Entertainment.

OLIVIA MUNN TO CARRY ‘BABY MAKERS’
OLIVIA MUNN TO CARRY ‘BABY MAKERS’
Olivia Munn continues her transition from geek goddess to bigscreen player, as “The Daily Show” correspondent has landed the female lead in the indie comedy “The Baby Makers,” Variety’s Jeff Sneider exclusively reports. Story follows a married couple who can’t conceive, prompting the husband (Paul Schneider) to enlist his friends’ help to rob a Pasadena sperm bank where he made a deposit as a young man. Production on the low-budget laffer is scheduled to start this summer in Los Angeles. Munn earned her geek cred on G4’s “Attack of the Show” and will soon be seen co-starring in Aaron Sorkin’s HBO pilot, tentatively titled “More As This Story Develops.” Additionally, the men’s magazine Maxim listed Munn at #2 on its most recent version of the popular Maxim 100 list.
