Sequel Brews Lawsuits
Updated 3:04 AM ET August 31, 1999

 NEW YORK (Variety) - Two lawsuits have
 been filed in the wake of the sudden
 cancellation of Dave Thomas' sequel to his
 1983 pic "Strange Brew." On July 19,
 Thomas reported to the Toronto set of the
 movie sequel to the cult film that grew out
 of an ongoing "Great White North" sketch on
 the "SCTV" series. He was to produce the
 new pic, "Home Brew," as well as co-star
 with Rick Moranis and Dan Aykroyd for a
 seven-week shoot. But he had to cancel the
 production when the financing failed to
 materialize.
