‘Lazer Team 2’ To Premiere Nov. 22 On YouTube Red Following Limited Theatrical Release (Teaser)

The sequel to Lazer Team — a sci-fi action comedy produced by Fullscreen Films and Rooster Teeth — is set to arrive on YouTube Red Nov. 22, the video giant announced today, though a limited theatrical release courtesy of Gunpowder & Sky is planned ahead of the film’s digital debut.

In Lazer Team 2, one of the members of the alien-fighting squad — as played by The Slow Mo GuysGavin Free — goes missing while working on secret research, and the three other members of the Lazer Team (played by Colton Dunn and Rooster Teeth’s Burnie Burns and Michael Jones) must re-team to rescue their friend. The film was written by Burns and Daniel Fabelo, and was co-directed by Fabelo and Matt Hullum. New cast members for the sequel include Nichole Bloom (Superstore) and Victoria Pratt (Heartland).

The inaugural Lazer Team film helped pioneer a new a distribution model in the digital media realm, whereby fans contributed a total of $2 million over 30 days to a crowdfunding campaign that ultimately yielded hundreds of theatrical screenings across the globe powered by Tugg. A special event cinema release — this time courtesy of indie studio Gunpowder & Sky — is planned for Lazer Team 2 in mid-November across the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.K. Ticket sales will be available in coming weeks right here.
