In March 2022, Danny DeVito spoke about his meeting with Arnold Schwarzenegger for the sequel to Twins, the cult comedy that was released in 1989.

questioned New York PostDanny DeVito has revealed that he is currently working on a project with the former ’80s and ’90s action star.Arnold and I discussed the subject of the film with Warner executives. So it’s on its way…we’re thinking about it. This could be related to Jumeaux. Or it may be related to other things we have done, e.g younger or batman”– the actor confided.

Very close friends, the two actors recently created a buzz at the 2024 Academy Awards. Returning to the Penguin and Mr. Freeze’s place, they confronted Michael Keaton (Burton’s Batman) in the room.

Two memorable works!

Note that Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger collaborated on two memorable comedies. The first, Jumeaux, arrived in 1989. They respectively played Vincent and Julius, two very different twins separated at birth.

Six years later, in 1995, the two artists appeared opposite each other on Junior. At the urging of his partner, Larry Arbogast (DeVito), Dr. Alex Hesse (Schwarz) decides to test his treatment for a safe pregnancy on himself. When she steals an egg from the laboratory, implants it and becomes “pregnant”. Discovering the pitfalls of motherhood, Larry quickly becomes disillusioned.

Both films were directed by Ivan Reitman, to whom we owe Ghost Saga. Before his death in 2022, the director had plans to sign Triplés, a sequel to Jumeaux. Will Danny DeVito renew this project or move on to something else?

triple canceled?

“We were hit hard by the death of Ivan Reitman, who directed the first Twins and was supposed to lead the Triplets. Now we have to wait a bit to spend, get tired and get the project back on track. the table. We were supposed to shoot in October 2022, and it could still be like that. But now we have to look for another director and see if we can continue this project.”DeVito explained in March 2022.

Today, the actor is no longer convinced that this sequel is a good idea without Ivan Reitman: “I think if we’re going to do a movie together, it should be a fun situation. I love spending time with Arnold. He’s such a nice guy. I go to his house. I know all his animals. Snellie the pig, his little horses and donkeys. I go there for lunch every now and then.” Or just to spend time with him.”Danny DeVito revealed.
