Is the world ready for a sequel to Twins?
Universal and Montecito Picture Co. are hoping to develop a doozy of a follow-up to the 1988 hit comedy that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito that would reunite the two stars.
But wait, there’s a twist: In the new scenario, Eddie Murphy would act as a third brother.
Titled Triplets, the story would see Schwarzenegger and
DeVito as brothers Julius and Vincent, conceived experimentally, who
discover they have third sibling.
The project doesn’t have a director at this early stage — Ivan Reitman, who helmed the original, would only act as a producer with his Montecito Picture Co. cohorts Joe Medjuk, Tom Pollock and Ali Bell,
according to sources — but the hunt is on for writers to develop the
idea. Insiders caution that no substantial creative discussions have
taken place between Universal and Montecito.
