Schwarzenegger. DeVito. Murphy. "Twins II: Triplets." Really.

And THIS would be the Monkey's Paw price we have to pay for the better parts of the 80s Nostalgia wave.

Everyone who's so psyched for Arnold Schwarzenegger to get back into movies now that his stint as Governator is over seemed to forget the sort of movies Arnie had been making in that looooooooong stretch between "True Lies" and his 2003 election. Sadly, it looks as though he's picking up in exactly the same mediocre place he left off...


The Hollywood Reporter says that Schwarzenegger will re-team with Danny DeVito and director (producer?) Ivan Reitman for "Triplets," a sequel to their mid-1980s comedy vehicle "Twins." If you're too young to remember "Twins," it was an entire movie built around the following joke: It's somewhat unlikely that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito would be twin brothers. Taking the news from farce to tragedy is the accompanying news that the NEW unlikely-sibling (hence the title) will be portrayed by Eddie Murphy.



Y'know what's kind of amazing? With "Always Sunny" still going, DeVito is the only person mentioned whose actually "too good" for this material...
