JackFetch Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 It's the sequel that absolutely nobody is asking for: 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. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/twins-triplets-arnold-schwarzenegger-danny-devito-eddie-murphy-306026 Eddie, why do you deny us a sequel to Coming to America, and yet you do this?

JackFetch Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 You thought it was funny when it was a little fat guy and a musclebound hunk? Wait until we throw race into the mix! Also, they are old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'd watch the Midnight Run sequel. But Twins? Seriously? Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 This is it guys. I haven’t visited a movie theatre in well over a decade now because the modern film industry just doesn't meet my high standards, but this is the film that’s going to pull me back. This is the movie that’s FINALLY going to raise the bar for the movie industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Huh. Did Twins even gross that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 As I recall, it was a fairly big hit at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 How sad is it that the only one that I think is above this is Danny DeVito? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Danny DeVito is a noted and respected actor, director and producer with a solid and interesting body of work. One of these things is not like the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I respect the hell out of Devito. He might be able to save this to the point where it's knowingly bad. Not sure anything can counter the human miss-machine that is Murphy though. Who would even pay him to be in a film anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 How sad is it that the only one that I think is above this is Danny DeVito? Which is funny, because he's rarely above anything... boom boom tish. Any way, Jack, is there a rumour for a Coming to America sequel?

JackFetch Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Any way, Jack, is there a rumour for a Coming to America sequel? Unfortunately not, because Eddie Murphy doesn't know how to make good moves anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Arnold has confirmed this is happening and that Ivan Reitman is returning to direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
