Fred Durst wasn't the first Du-singer to make it into the world of cinema. Back in the '90s, Counting Crows singer Adam Duritz produced two films, and now, a decade later, he's heading back to the biz. Variety reports that Duritz is going to produce a new film from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe called Freeloaders. Written by director Dan Rosen (with the lead singer of Gigolo Aunts, Dave Gibbs), the film focuses on "five guys and a girl who live in the lap of luxury in a rock star's mansion." That is, until the star decides that he wants to sell his home. Oh, the woes of groupie moochers. Broken Lizard (Super Troopers) is financing the film, and I imagine they're also starring in it -- that leaves us with the girl, and the rock star. Will Duritz take it? And speaking of '90s singers and film -- who's next?...

What happens when a Counting Crow meets Broken Lizard? We’re about to find out, for Counting Crows frontman, Adam Duritz – he of the nasal whine, dreadlocks and inexplicably high hit ratio with the female cast of Friends – has signed on to produce Freeloaders, the new film from the American comedy troupe.And that’s not the only rock’n’roll connection – Gigolo Aunts lead singer Dave Gibbs co-wrote the screenplay, along with Dan Rosen, who will direct. And a quick perusal of the plot will tell you why – it’s about a group of freeloaders (five guys, one girl) who sponge off a rock singer in his massive mansion. When he decides to sell up, their carefree existence is plunged into doubt – and, clearly, something must be done.
