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

[Wolfwood]

********, no way this is real. It's just too insane.

I'd totally watch it though if Danny Devito got the "It's Always Sunny" guys to write and direct it.

 

[Majik1387]

If the It's Always Sunny writers were involved, my anticipation would skyrocket.

 

[Secret Fawful]

You know what, I'm okay with this just to see Murphy act alongside Devito and Arnold. I don't have high hopes, though.

 

[Evelisse]

So if Arnold was the best of the sperm milkshake, and DeVito was all the crap, what would be left over for Murphy?

Anyways found this, after the first 50 seconds of DeVito cursing and acting very much like Frank from Sunny in real life, he mentions he being down for a Twins sequel.

[Donnie Darko]

I won't see it in the theater, but I will check it out from the redbox I'd still-super-hot Kelly Preston is involved.

Either way, it doesn't hurt the original, which is fantastic, one of the best from both Arnold and Devito.

 

[Lasirius]

I might see it for Devito but I hate Eddie Murphy's face so I might skip this. It depends on the trailer, I guess.

 

[jmc]

Yep, the world is ending this year.

 

[Homer J. Fong]

This blew my mind, and no matter how many times I check the calendar, it still insists on not being April 1. I find this idea hilarious, but not in the way that it's meant to be. This is the kind of bad idea that would appear as a classic bad idea in a cynical movie about Hollywood, but even then, it would still be too ridiculous. This is good for no one involved, beyond the fact that, yes, they will receive money in exchange for appearing in it. I've heard worse ideas, but man, a sequel to Twins, announced 24 years later, to say nothing if when it will actually be released if it does indeed come to pass, called Triplets, with Eddie Murphy added...If this is a premature April Fool's Day prank on the part of The Hollywood Reporter, kudos to them.

You know what it sounds like? A parody you'd see on a sketch comedy show.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well a sequel has been meant by ivan/devito qnd others of last few months. Sure coming out so clue to april fools doesn't help its case. But we still could see a film.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Just go for a remake with Dennis getting all the good stuff and Charlie getting the leftover crap.

 

[Octoberist]

This sounds like a nightmare.

 

[Sawyer]

Nail + Coffin + Headstone reading "Rest in Peace: Eddie Murphy's career 1982-2001" + me putting a bullet in the head of the zombie that is Eddie Murphy's current career = this guy really ****ing needs a new agent

You guys read my mind. This totally needs an Always Sunny vibe, Arnie, DeVito and Murphy playing schmucks trying to get rich quick at the expense of other people.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Discusses ‘Twins’ Sequel ‘Triplets,’ Says “That’s Real Entertainment”

Posted on Wednesday, April 4th, 2012 by Russ Fischer

A pre-April Fools’ day story that wasn’t actually a joke contained the announcement that Universal is developing Triplets as a sequel to Ivan Reitman‘s 1988 film Twins. The original comedy starred Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger as genetically-engineered brothers who learn of one anothers existence when they’re both adults.

Triplets doesn’t have a director at this point, or even a screenwriter, and the cast isn’t yet signed. But the idea is for DeVito and Schwarzenegger to return, with Eddie Murphy stepping in as a third long-lost brother.

Danny DeVito has spoken in general terms about doing a Twins sequel in the past, and now we’ve got some enthusiastic quotes from Schwarzenegger. He seems wildly confident about the prospects for the film.

ComingSoon spoke to Schwarzenegger late in 2011, and he spoke about Triplets then. The site’s interview was embargoed until now, so the quotes are only surfacing today. The former California governor said,

I would love to do another ‘Twins.’ As a matter of fact, we’ve been talking about doing one and it’s called ‘Triplets.’ I’d find somebody like Eddie Murphy or someone that people would say, ‘How does that happen, medically speaking?’ and, ‘Physically, there’s no way!’ Then, somehow, we would explain it. That would be hilarious with what we know about someone like him.
​

He went on to explain,

I can see a poster…A billboard with us three. ‘They found another one!’ ‘Triplets!’ ‘Only their mother can tell them apart!’ I would do that in two seconds, because that’s real entertainment. You come out with that movie for Christmas, like December 5th or something like that, and you’re home free.
​

So is Arnie’s confidence in this one well-placed, or is he a bit out of touch? Given that we don’t know the full creative team on Triplets it is far too early to make any real calls about how the film might turn out, but given what we know — and that we’ve had a moment to get used to the idea — does it sound like something you’d see?

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Deck Rickard]

Ummm… I know they aren’t going for realism here but how can you be triplets with someone 20 years younger than you?

Also, Tracy Morgan is such a downgrade from Eddie Murphy. Hell, Tracy Morgan would have been a downgrade from Charlie Murphy.

 

[Pennywise]

Just let this die already!

 

[DarkKnight88]

Eddie Murphy dropping out is definitely not a good sign. I mean, he’s not exactly the highest for picking quality projects so even if he doesn’t want it. Even after something great like Dolemite, we got a bust with Coming 2 America.

Also, Tracy Morgan is such a downgrade from Eddie Murphy. Hell, Tracy Morgan would have been a downgrade from Charlie Murphy.

Yeah, the whole point was that Eddie Murphy was another 1980s superstar. That’s what made the three potentially funny, all from the same 80s era but never to star with each other. Tracy Morgan just doesn’t fit with any of that.

Also, this should’ve been made in the 90s.

 

[samsnee]

I like Tracy but definitely is a step down from Eddie.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Tracy Morgan's career has turned into signing on to projects that are indistinguishable from joke projects his parody self would have signed on to in 30 Rock.

 

[Pennywise]

I would even take someone like Danny Glover over Morgan.

Yeah, big downgrade from Murphy, and this is coming from someone who loved Morgan on 30 Rock.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

If they can't even get Eddie Murphy on board for this after doing something as forgettable as Coming 2 America than you know its got to be pretty damn bad. The first Twins is still one of my favortie Arnold movies too, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being worse than Junior.

I use to be a fan of Tracey Morgan, but he just plays himself nowadays and it ain't funny anymore. Such a huge downgrade for this movie, but weirdly enough I'll probably still watch it just to see how bad it is.

This.

The really sad part is that it was actually Eddie Murphy’s idea that he pitched to Schwarzenegger.
