Too many unwelcome sequels and remakes of classic movies have been made in the past few years and because of this you could forgive us for being skeptical - but oh my God, Triplets sounds the business and it looks like it's going to get the green light.
The actor Josh Gad (Love and Other Drugs) is writing a screenplay for a Twins sequel and it is set to be just as weird as the first. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are reuniting as the unlikely siblings and, wait for it, Eddie Murphy is joining them as their long-lost brother.
Gad told Coming Soon that, "Triplets' is getting very close. We handed in our first draft to much enthusiasm and we're doing a second draft right now that's like miniscule changes and it's very exciting. It's very real."
The first movie was definitely an out and out comedy but since it came out in 1988 we can expect the next installment to enter 21 Jump St territory.
Gad says, "We’re very reverential to the original, but have our tongue firmly in our cheek. As it needs to be, it’s very modernized. It’s taking them into the new world and it’s acknowledging that comedy’s changed a lot in 20 years.”
Sounds friggin' amazeballs we think. We loved Twins, Arnie and Danny were an inspired pairing, but throw Eddie Murphy in the mix? Guaranteed comedy gold.
