Danny DeVito Open To The Idea Of ‘Twins 2’
BeforeArnold Schwarzenegger’s personal problems made national headlines, andhe officially signed on to doThe Last Stand, a return to several of his classic roles were discussed as acting possibilities. Hesigned up to do anewTerminatormovie,PredatorandRunning Mansequels were mentioned, and even a follow-up to the 1988 comedyTwinswas batted around the rumor mill. That last one seemed totally ridiculous, partially becauseDanny DeVitohas created his own niche in recent years, tweeting photos of his feet and being hilarious onIt’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. And partially becauseTwinsdirectorIvan Reitman’s last three films wereEvolution, My Super Ex-GirlfriendandNo Strings Attached.
At Comic-Con though,Moviewebasked DeVito about the rumor and while he didn’t say he’d been contacted about it, he expressed true passion and interest in the project. Watch the interview after the jump.
Thanks to Moviewebfor this clip. They were able to make something out of nothing as DeVito goes a little crazy at the beginning here and basically wastes three quarters of the allotted interview time.
He’s obviously being sincere aboutTwins 2but makes the obvious statement that it would be about the right script. What he doesn’t mention is that, after being outed for adultery, Schwarzenegger is considered slightly toxic and much depends on the success ofThe Last Stand. That’ll mark not only Schwarzenegger’s return to action, but return to film in general. If that movie works, doors will certainly open back up. Odds are he’ll first jump back intoCry Macho, a projecthe really wanted to dobut was forced to postpone but after that, who knows? By that point, though, it will be close to 30 years since the first film and who would really want to see two men in their 60s pretending to be brothers?
Is there an idea that could get you into the theater if it ever happened?
