Rumor: Schwarzenegger Thinking About Twins Sequel

Over twenty years later, Universal apparently wants to make a sequel to Twins and thinks it's a "gem of an idea." Maybe they actually meant "charcoal briquette."

Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger has called it quits with California politics, he's reportedly thinking pretty hard about getting back to acting. However, instead of reprising his roles from the Terminator, Conan (yes, there's a new one being made, but it doesn't have Arnold ... Or Grace Jones), or Kindergarden Cop, it sounds like someone wants his return to Hollywood to be in Twins 2.

Yes, you read that right: someone wants to make a sequel to the 1988 film that was directed by Ivan Reitman and starred Schwarzenegger with Danny Devito. Australian film site What's Playing recently spoke to a source who is claiming that Universal's been seriously kicking around the concept. According to the anonymous source:

"Knowing Arnold, Danny De Vito and Ivan Reitman are all still in touch and want to work together again, Universal came to them about it. It's a germ of an idea that could spread fast."

Let's be honest about something: If the film gets the go-ahead, it might very well be a good movie, but it certainly sounds like a terrible idea right now. Also, if Schwarzenegger is going to get back in front of the camera, I demand a sequel to <a href=http://www.amazon.com/Hercules-New-York-Arnold-Schwarzenegger/dp/B00004XMSC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304630388&sr=8-1>Hercules in New York.

There was.

Ahnold knows his time as Govenator is coming to a close, and he needs to find a way to make a boat load of money to support himself and sees that revamps are all the rage.

though I've never seen the original (and it doesnt look like I missed much) so I wont be seeing this one.

You know what, if this help to prolong his whole cartoon "Governator" show idea then by all means go for it.

 

[PaxCorpus]

Holy crap. I watched this movie when I was maybe... 5?? I can't even remember. Although, I was a child then, I don't ever remember thinking to myself, "man, this needs a sequel."

 

[antipunt]

OK wait, first he becomes a superhero, and now..

 

[StellarViking]

Sure it may resurrect Arnold's acting career, but this film could end up causing a lot of Collateral Damage for everyone else.

If they do make it, I think I'm going to start running, man.

OT: The only twin in any movie with Schwarzenegger that I care about is the one that told him he needed to start the reactor. If they're making a sequel to THAT, then that is an entirely different story.

 

[Braedan]

I was SERIOUSLY hoping this was just posting a ridiculous, far from fact headline to grab views... but.... I am disappointed...

 

[manythings]

Maybe I'm wrong but didn't that movie make crazy money back in the day?

 

[XT inc]

well that is a first I've never heard anyone call anything a " ger m of an Idea" That will spread fast. However I do think the movie would go viral and take down Troll 2's title of worst movie ever made.

Of all the Schwarzenegger movies to make a sequel to, it couldn't be Commando could it?


WHY U NO COMMANDO?

The, uh... Opening paragraph here is an interesting, uh... statement...

But your quote later on suggests it doesn't make much sense. After all, it refers to a germ of an idea rather than a gem


OT:Anyway, That is indeed a pretty weird idea. I wouldn't have expected a sequel to that particular film to make much sense. It wasn't a horrible film, but a contrived sequel just sounds... Iffy.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

In the shape he's in?

Twins II: Now I can see the relation.

 

[therandombear]

...I actually liked Twins...I thought it was funny :3

I also like Commando...Terminator not so sure, only watched 1 of them the third I think.
Also like Last Action Hero...I kinda like his cheezy movies it seems xd

...you should be a shamed of yourself right now...*tuts*

Dear god WHY???
I'd like for him to at the very least do a cameo in a new Terminator, and he probably will, but other than that it might be time to retire. He's done his thing. And if he does want to get back into acting, why would he start with THIS?

 

[Stevepinto3]

I don't get it, who would actually pay to see another Schwarzenegger comedy nowadays? Hell, who actually wants to see a Schwarzenegger movie at all? I'm certainly sick of him.

If this gets the greenlight I will lose all hope in humanity. If it turns a major profit I will jump off a bridge.
