Ivan Reitman’s long-planned sequel to the 1988 comedy classic Twins appears to be dead in the water, and Triplets, as the film was supposed to be called, has been shelved. Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter where he also pointed the finger at the late director’s son, Jason Reitman, who is apparently now to blame for Triplets never happening.
Kind of sad, especially since both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito were excited about the project, which was also slated to include Eddie Murphy as the new and third member of the duo. Apparently, after his father’s death, Jason stopped the project for the simple reason that he personally never found the idea of a Twins sequel viable.
“Jason Reitman f—ed it up, he literally stopped the project when his father died.
His father really wanted to. I wanted to do it really bad. Danny DeVito wanted to do it really bad. We had the funding. When his father passed away, Jason said, “I never liked the idea” and put it on hold.”
Instead, Schwarzenegger and DeVito have been working on a separate project together, which we hope to hear more about later this year. This isn’t the first time a Schwarzenegger sequel has been shelved, like the Conan the Barbarian sequel, which has been in limbo for the past ten years. A sequel to Twins with Eddie Murphy could be fun, or what do you think?
