Rehashing old films is the order of the day in Hollywood currently. 3D rereleases of old tat and revamps of 80s TV series, boardgames and movies are rampant. With Total Recall getting remade without Arnie, what can he do with his time?
Well, when he's not constantly saying sorry for shagging his maid and having a secret child with her, he's obviously looked toward the comedic roles that were terrible in a non-ironic enjoyment way.
And so, in what is one of the most peculiar news stories of 2012, it appears that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito will be revisiting their Twins film, bringing along Eddie Murphy to make the sequel, Triplets. No. The milkman didn't spike you this morning.
That's right folks! Brothers Julius and Vincent discover that they have a third genetically-conceived brother, who looks just like Eddie Murphy.
According to reports, Schwarzenegger, DeVito and Murphy are all signed up to star in this clearly woeful idea with original Twins director on board too.
A source implies:
"Universal thinks it's a horrendous idea but don't want to upset Schwarzenegger."
Of course, Twins was a giganto success back in '88, grossing $216m world-wide. Naturally, this doesn't actually mean there is a huge public appetite for more of the same.
However, as awful an idea this is, fans of career carcrashes will thrill at the notion. Arnie has done little of note for years, Danny DeVito is all but dead in the water and Eddie Murphy has offered a string of critical flops in Norbit and Meet Dave.
This idea probably should bear fruit, mainly because we all really like watching famous people being gaspingly desperate and horsing around like they still have value.
We could be on the cusp of the worst film ever made… and yes, that includes Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie.
