When the first "Super Troopers" movie came out in 2001, it invoked lots of laughs. Since then, there have been rumors going around concerning a sequel, and actor Steve Lemme has just confirmed that it's actually happening.

Lemme starred in the original movie as one of five Vermont state troopers, and revealed that Fox plans to distribute the film as long as the money is raised for it. The budget goal is $27 million, and it seems that it has almost been reached.

In an interview with US Magazine, Lemme stated, "You know, it was a combination of having to settle some of the legal disputes about making a sequel, while also negotiating terms for it...the fans have been asking for it for a while, but we were finally able to package everything together. Fox is going to distribute the film, but we needed to raise the money for it. We're close. There may be a Kickstarter launched to raise the last little bit."

According to the Huffington Post, "Super Troopers" director and co-star Jay Chandrasekhar has also told fans on Reddit last month about the crew's Kickstarter plan. Lemme added that filming is scheduled to begin next year.

So far, Lemme hasn't shared much about the sequel, but he has commented that it will top the original movie's opening scene. He stated, "I think it's one of the more unique and interesting stories I've seen in awhile. But the movie picks up pretty much where we left off in the first one. Its a few years later. The biggest difficulty was trying to top that opening scene, which so many people have complimented us on. I think we've done it."

Oh, and the mustaches will be returning. Lemme commented, "Everybody who had a mustache in the first one will grow it back... now the guys who didn't grow mustaches for the first one want to have a mustache. We're making them earn it, not sure how we'll haze them, but they better be prepared."
