“Tropic Thunder” scribe Etan Coen is penning a hot comedy package for Legendary Entertainment.
“Brothers”, said to be in the vein of the classic Schwarzenegger-DeVito classic “Twins”, will star Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage as – of course – unlikely brothers.
There was a heated bidding war for the project, with Legendary the successor. Andrew Lazar, of “American Sniper” fame, is producing.
Brolin and Dinklage will both snag producing credits.
Meanwhile, the long-gestating “Twins” sequel, “Triplets”, which will introduce a third brother played by Eddie Murphy into the fold, still slowly turns its wheels at Universal.
