With Arnold, DeVito, and....Eddie Murphy?

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.

The actors are attached to star.

This wouldn’t be the first sequel to an 1988 film that Universal is working. The studio is developing a sequel to Midnight Run that sees Robert De Niro, one of the film’s two original stars along with Charles Grodin, returning in an incarnation to be directed by Brett Ratner.

[- J - D -]

I know it's terrible, but I loved Twins.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I can't really imagine Danny DeVito being normal after Frank Reynolds. It seems like he lost his mind along with the character to me.

 

[Technosteve]

i fucking loved twins

 

[Boogalogist]

WTF is this shit? Please NO!

 

[Trigunner]

WTF is this shit? Please NO!

Those two white guys have a black man for a brother. Is funny, yes?

 

[GavinGT]

Let's hope they don't go the white supremacist route and claim that Eddie Murphy's character received all the garbage genes.

 

[B.K.]

good god damn DeVito looks old

He IS old. He's almost 70.

 

[Conciliator]

I don't see any way this could go wrong.

 

[Drencrom]

good god damn DeVito looks old

He isn't just looking old, he is old

Edit: Poopie, beaten by B.K.
