Schwarzenegger, DeVito and Murphy attached to 'Twins' sequel 'Triplets'

[Whiskey Tango]

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.

Finally. All those years when I fell asleep I dreamed about the glorious day this movie is made. How awsome, I thought, would it be to have sequel to twins with Eddie Murphy as the lost third brother?
But now the time has come. Now my dreams come true! Schwarzenegger, Murphy and DeVito finally united! What more can I want? What more can I ask the gods of cinema?
It truly is a day, I will remember for a long, long time.

Am I the only one who thinks it can be funny? Not a fan of Eddie Murphy but I'm willing to wait at least for a trailer.

I'm willing to give it a shot. The first one was pretty good. I'm certainly not going to write the idea off before they even have script yet. Talk about jumping the gun. People should save the hatin' until there's actually something to hate. But that way you'd have to work harder to squeeze in snarky commentary, I guess.

Here's a movie i wont be watching

 

[Majik1387]

Can't be worse than the rest of Eddie Murphy's recent movies

 

[dark_b]

belive it or not but the worst news here is not that they are making a sequel with Murphy as the third twin. the worst news here is that E.Murphy is AGAIN doing a PG13 comedy. again and again he needs to be in a R rated movie.there is no but......

 

[Art_of_Crime]

I think I'm going to go beat my head against a brick wall until i forget what i just read.

 

[Lencho01]

I think this must happen.

 

[darkseid26]

The original is classic

 

[Majik1387]

Am I the only one who always kind of saw Junior as the unrelated sequel to Twins?

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Fail!

 

[Tissues]

Well I guess I'm in the excited minority! The original was great and my friend and I were just discussing the possibilities of a sequel in december.

Arnold is not in perfect body building form anymore though...

But regardless..! Yakkidy yak! Yakkidy yak!

I'll give this movie a shot & wait till I see an actual movie trailer before judging it a failure. Granted, Eddie Murphy's recent movies have met with disaster since he refuses to do an R rated movie, but we'll see.

 

[Majik1387]

Does he really refuse to do R rated movies now?

 

[Duke]

I don't recall where I saw or read, but supposedly he refuses to do R rated movies because of family now.

 

[Webhead2006]

Sounds like a cool concept. I definately like to see it.
