Triplets: The Long‑Awaited Sibling Saga That Finally Hits the Big Screen
After years of speculation, the prank‑packed side‑kick to Twins is officially back—this time with a brand‑new brother. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito return in Triplets, joined by the witty all‑star Tracy Morgan. Under Ivan Reitman’s direction and a fresh script from Dyland Dawson and Lucas Kavner, the film promises more laughs, awkward family moments, and a heartwarming revelation about hidden kin.
Cast and Crew
- Arnold Schwarzenegger – The muscle‑powered yet lovable twin still itching for a fight
- Danny DeVito – The hilarious street‑wise sidekick who keeps things quirky
- Tracy Morgan – The mysterious third sibling who brings a whole new flavor of comedy
- Ivan Reitman – The director who’s been polishing this gem for decades
- Dyland Dawson & Lucas Kavner – Writers who turn a family drama into a comedy goldmine
The Plot in Plain English
Remember the absurdity of Twins? Triplets keeps that vibe: two doppelgängers meet, belly‑laugh at their similarities, then meet a third—little brother, big surprise. The story kicks off with a shocking revelation: a secretly born baby, a young Black child, who hasn’t spoken to his siblings in years. The trio finally bumps into each other, awkwardly rediscovering family ties, and slowly—because you know how long it takes in real life—learn to get along.
Reitman says it’s “a film about family and, no matter how different we all are, we have to learn to get along.” And with the chemistry that Arnold and Danny naturally have, plus Tracy’s fresh energy, the reel works like a comic match‑make. It’s all about how laughter and stubbornness can bring even the most misaligned individuals together.
The Takeaway
Think Triplets is just another slap‑stick sequel? Think again. The movie blends brigade‑style comedy with a genuine, heart‑warming lesson on family, evolution, and ??. If you’re ready to witness the “sibling bonding” spectacle, this is the film to binge‑watch. We’re not just talking about a blockbuster; we’re talking about an episode of life where laughter matters more than ego.
Get Ready to Trip Over the Hype
It all kicked off with a backstage meet‑up between Arnold Schwarzenegger and the legendary comedy‑star Eddie Murphy.
What Went Down
- Schwarzenegger set the idea of “Triplets” on the table.
- The script was originally spun around having Murphy as the witty sidekick.
- But after “Coming 2 America” blew up, Murphy’s schedule got jam‑packed, leaving the role open.
- Enter Tracy Morgan—a friend of Reitman’s who was “one of the funniest men in the world.”
Reitman’s Re‑dive Into Directing
After a few years pivoting to the reboot of Ghostbusters (played by his son’s “Afterlife” dream), Reitman is gonna drop the mic on a brand‑new comedy.
“We knocked the whole script over to fit Tracy,” Reitman said. “He’s a perfect fit. Now it’s time to raise the money, get the green light, and light the blue‑sky stage.”
Why Everyone Is Counting
Keeping the Triplets crew tight means the film will be fun, fresh and, heck, it’s practically a laugh‑out‑of‑tissues rollercoaster.
Final Take
In a nutshell, the film’s recipe is: first‑class actors, high‑energy jokes, and a sprinkle of mystery. Topics could unlock, and the audience will be riding the wild wave of laughter from start to finish.
Reitman’s Indie Dream: “Triplets” on the Rise
Reitman’s big plan? Sure, he’s got the cast locked in and the script polished. He’s heading straight toward Toronto’s Film‑Festival market, hoping a slick “sizzle reel” of the Triplets cast will snag the right buyers.
The Path to the Cameras
- Once the film’s on the market in Toronto, Reitman plans to jump straight into production.
- All set to hit the streets of Boston come January.
Looking Back at the Twins Legacy
The original Twins movie was a blockbuster for Universal back in 1988. Though there’s chatter about a new Twins sequel, the current Triplets project might just land on a streaming service.
Final Thoughts
Fans, hold tight! If Reitman’s plan stalls—no worries, the film could still find a home on a streaming platform. Either way, it’s definitely a story worth watching.
