The guys behind 'Super Troopers' are at it again with 'Club Dread', due Feb. 27. Jay Chandrasekhar stars and directs just as with his first film, a cult favorite stoner flick. In the new film, a Club Med version of 'Scary Movie,' Chandrasekhar rocks out in dreds sans 'stache.

In his last outing, Jay (aka Jumbulingham) became the hero of community college-attending desis everywhere by smoking out constantly, wearing a handlebar moustache, and still getting the girl. 'Super Troopers' did decent business for a distributed indie with $18M, and had some of the stupid-funny-est dialogue this side of 'Van Wilder.' Chandrasekhar lays claim to being the slacker's M. Night Shyamalan.

Chandrasekhar ain't the only hilarious Asian stoner in the movies. Leonardo Nam ran away with 'The Perfect Score,' a lightweight 'Breakfast Club' update whose other asset was pillow-lipped old soul Scarlett Johansson.
