The comedy troupe Broken Lizard is teaming up with Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz for a new comedy titled Freeloaders. The flick revolves around five guys and a girl who live in the lap of luxury in a rock star's mansion. But their sweet situation is threatened when the rock star decides to sell the home. Dan Rosen (The Last Supper) wrote the screenplay with the Gigolo Aunts lead singer Dave Gibbs. Rosen is attached to direct, while Duritz is producing. Broken Lizard, whose past flicks include Super Troopers, Club Dread and Beerfest, is composed of Erik Stolhanske, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Kevin Heffernan, Jay Chandrasekhar and producers Richard Perello and Julia Dray.

Shooting is scheduled to begin in mid-January.
