Triplets: Tracy Morgan Will Join Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito in Twins Sequel

Three's a crowd.

A sequel to the 1988 comedy Twins is officially a go, with Tracy Morgan set to join Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito as the pair's third brother, per Deadline. Triplets is currently being shopped in the Toronto Film Festival market, with the production sending out a reel of the three actors to potential buyers. The production is aiming to begin filming in January 2022, with director Ivan Reitman also set to return to the director's chair.

"I haven’t directed in a couple years, but Arnold kept saying, 'C’mon, we had such a great time,'" Reitman said. "I had a great time doing the first one, and this is going to be fun.”

Triplets will reportedly follow Schwarzenegger and DeVito's Benedict brothers as they come into contact with a long lost brother played by Morgan.

The original Twins was an impressive commercial success for Universal when it released in theaters in 1988. The film grossed $216 million worldwide against a reported production budget of $18 million. A sequel has been in the works for nearly a decade, with reports of Eddie Murphy's attachment to the project emerging in 2012.

Reitman confirmed that Murphy was a large factor in the sequel's conception, though the director assured that Morgan will be a fantastic replacement.

"This whole thing started with Arnold meeting Eddie Murphy, and the suggestion came from one of them,” Reitman said. "We started a script with Eddie, and after the success he had with Amazon Prime on Coming 2 America, he got himself booked up heavily. And we knew we were going to make it at the beginning of next year. I’d been good friends with Tracy Morgan for a long time and always thought he was one of the funniest men in the world. I thought he would make a terrific triplet, and we rewrote the whole script for him."

I would like to see triplets starring Arnie, Eddie Murphy, and Jackie Chan. The comedy could be in that they initially do not believe it and fight. But then the public perception changes and the three become closer eventually accepting their brotherhood. They do the talk show round and the scientists who perform the test realise that they had mixed the results. Three unrelated men believe that they are brothers, and three brothers each unknown to the others, believe that their prostate exams came back with a diagnosis of cancer.

So between that longass runtime and the direction they're going with Riddler (Zodiac killer-esque) I am officially feeling this movie.

Thomas is flying high right now after directing and executive producing the Disney+ Marvel series, Hawkeye, with Jeremy Renner reprising his Avenger role. Thomas is also highly regarded in the comedy world for his work on Saturday Night Live and the Emmy-nominated and critically-acclaimed IFC series Documentary Now!, which he co-created with Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and Seth Meyers, and directed. For Documentary Now!, Thomas received four Emmy nominations and ​he is currently in production on Season 4. ​

Gatewood & Tanaka’s feature Sharper sold in a bidding war to Apple and A24 with Julianne Moore attached to star. Ben Curon directed the film, now in post-production, co-starring Sebastian Stan. Gatewood & Tanaka are currently writing Untitled Asian American Heist Project for Amazon. Canton/Nunnari Productions producing credits include 300 and Immortals, and most currently Canton is an executive producer of the Power universe series.

Here's the movie you have all been waiting for!

Margot Robbie’s ‘Barbie’ Sets 2023 Release Date, Unveils First-Look Photo

Barbie” is parking her pink convertible in U.S. theaters on July 21, 2023.

The release date for the much-anticipated live-action adventure from the iconic doll, played by Margot Robbie with a star-studded supporting cast, was announced on Tuesday during the Warner Bros. presentation at Las Vegas’ CinemaCon.

Notably, this movie will open against Christopher Nolan’s sprawling ensemble film “Oppenheimer” — but Barbie came to play, and has a dream cast of her own. Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, “And Just Like That” actor Hari Nef and Will Ferrell all co-star in the reimagining of Barbie’s world.

Directed by Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote the script with her partner Noah Baumbach, production is currently underway on the Mattel Films and WB project. A first-look image was shared on stage of Robbie in the aforementioned pink convertible, flashing a megawatt smile and donning a polka dot headband behind the wheel.

Producers on “Barbie” also include Robbie via LuckyChap with Tom Ackerley; Mattel’s Robbie Brenner; and David Heyman for Heyday Films. LuckyChap’s Josey McNamara and Mattel’s Ynon Kreiz are executive producers.

In a 2021, Robbie said taking on the beloved toy “comes with a lot of baggage … and a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t.'”

Production began earlier this year in London. “Barbie” is one of many Mattel properties on the burner for feature adaptation. Projects based on the magic 8 ball, Hot Wheels, “Masters of the Universe,” Polly Pocket, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, and the throwback dolls Chatty Cathy and Betsy Wetsy are all in the works.

I'm sure this song will all over the movie and trailer.

It's weird to just shelve it if it's almost done. Even if it's bad, just release it and at least get some of the money back.

It should be leaked eventually.

Batgirl Directors Tried to Salvage Footage Before It Was Scrapped

Batgirl's cancelation saw its directors attempting to save the movie's footage in any way possible before it was scrapped.

Batgirl’s cancelation kicked off a chain reaction of carnage across Warner Bros. Discovery’s slate of upcoming movies and TV shows as CEO David Zaslav reportedly seeks a number of tax write-offs. When Batgirl's directors discovered what was happening, it appears that they desperately attempted to salvage something from the movie, even if that meant simply recording footage to their phones. With the movie almost complete, it is not surprising that Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah wanted to see something of their work retained, but it seems that it was never going to happen.

The Direct recently transcribed a TikTok video in which Fallah spoke about the way the cancelation caused them to try in vain to save something from the movie, but it seems that it all came to nothing. Fallah said:

"No, we have nothing. Adil called and told me, 'Go ahead! Shoot everything on your phone!' I went on the server... Everything was gone. We were [like]... 'F**ing shit!'... We did not [even] keep [the scenes] with Batman in it.' The guys from Warner Bros. told us it was not a talent problem on our part or the actress [Leslie Grace], or even the quality of the movie. We were right in the middle of editing. There was a lot of work to get done, so it was not like the movie was finished! Warner Bros. told us the cancellation was a strategic change, a shifting in management so they could save some bucks."

Warner Bros. Discovery Has Mostly Remained Silent Over The Continuing Cancelations

The initial wave of high-profile cancelations from Warner Bros. Discovery raised many questions about why so many completed shows and movies were being scrapped so brutally. While details eventually emerged to sort of explain the reasoning behind it, there has still been only a small amount of information shared by Zaslav that has not really appeased either fans of the dropped franchises or the creators behind them.

"The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership's strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max," Warner Bros. briefly explained in a statement. "Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance. We are incredibly grateful to the filmmakers of Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt and their respective casts and we hope to collaborate with everyone again in the near future."

In the last week, Warner Bros. Discovery has dropped hundreds of shows from HBO Max, and canceled several upcoming animation projects, some of which, like Batgirl, have already been completed and were ready to air. With many directors, producers and writers unable to completely keep their feelings hidden, there could be a backlash from some towards working with the company in the future. With the cull seemingly not over yet, there are plenty of eyes on what Warner Bros. Discovery does next and how it is going to impact their remaining list of franchises and IPs.
