Not Twins 2, But Danny DeVito Reveals a Secret Upcoming Collaboration with Friend Arnold Schwarzenegger

The world is a testament to the friendship that Danny DeVito and Arnold
Schwarzenegger [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/arnold-schwarzenegger/] share.
Despite their contrasting personalities, the duo forged a deep, friendly
connection that has endured the test of time. Both the actors met for the first
time on the sets of their 1988 comedy film Twins, where they played the roles of
fraternal twins Julius and Vincent. Furthermore, the American crime comedy
played a very significant role in both of their lives.

While the two have not reunited since then, it seems that they might now as the
veteran actor Danny DeVito hinted at the confirmation of a secret collaboration.


DANNY DEVITO CONFIRMS THE SECRET PROJECT WITH ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

In an interview with GQ
[https://www.gq.com/story/danny-devito-i-need-that-interview-2023], Danny DeVito
completely ruled out the possibility of working in Twins 2 with the 76-year-old
Arnold Schwarzenegger. According to DeVito, they have a “little project” on the
horizon, and it is distinct from Twins and is centered on two friends who “have
a good time” together. Talking about Twins 2, he joked about how The Terminator
legend skipped the American comedy film because he wanted to be governor of
California in 2003. He further said that he should have done the movie instead
of “becoming governor.”

film Twins 2. He also stated that his father, Ivan Reitman, was always in favor
of shooting the picture. However, when his father died, Jason canceled the plan

In the same interview, the Matilda actor further revealed that he and Billy
Crystal “want to work” together again. Further, the actors are looking forward
to recreating the magic of the 1987 American crime comedy film Throw Momma from
the Train on the screen with its sequel, Throw Papa from the Train. This has

The crime comedy was DeVito’s theatrical directorial debut. Further, it was
based on Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Stranger’s on Train, released in 1951. The
plot of the movie revolves around two men, Larry Donner and Owen Lift. One wants
his ex-wife dead, and the other wants his mother out of the picture. Although
the movie received mixed reactions from critics, it went on to be a commercial
success. Further, it also bagged an Oscar nomination for supporting actress Anne
Ramsey.
