Arnold Schwarzenegger was hoping to work with Danny DeVito back on Twins sequel that was in development, but that project ended up being canceled after the director Ivan Reitmann deceased. Schwarzenegger previously shared how bummed he was about it and how Jason Reitmann close the project.
Well, even if the Triplets movie isn’t happening, Schwarzenegger recently revealed that he’s working on making a James Bond-esque action comedy starring Danny Devito! Before we get to that, though, he talks about the fun side of him. He tells Arnold fans:
“It’s interesting because I’ve always felt, all my life, that there’s a fun side to me, and an intense side, and a serious side, and a casual side, and all those different sides, but in the beginning, because of the my physical developments, no one would want me to do anything funny. They just wanted me to kick ass. They said, ‘This is an action star’ after I went out with Conan. I was the only one physically developed that way.
“Then everyone copied me and came in and started getting muscular and we created a whole genre of action. So when I told people in the studio industry that I’d like to do comedy, they said, “You’re stupid, do you think we’re going to invest in comedy?” We have a rule: don’t fix what isn’t broken. We’re making a lot of money off you in action movies, so why should we switch to comedy?’ So it was a “No”. Only when Ivan Reitman came along and said, “I’d love to do Twins with you and Danny DeVito, and then the movie made more money than all the action movies, that’s when all the studios suddenly woke up and They said, ‘Yeah, let’s give it a shot with comedies.’ So we did Kindergarten Cop, Junior, True Lies and all those other movies so, yeah, now it continues [FUBAR and with Danny DeVito].”
The actor then talked about his project with DeVito. He doesn’t offer many details, but it’s definitely a film project he’s excited about:
“I’m finally doing the things I was meant to do on a regular basis. I can do both [action and comedy] and this Danny DeVito project is going to be one of those projects where you see over the top action – James Bond stuff, but also really fun.
It will be fun to see Schwarzenegger and DeVito team up for another film, and this could be a really fun project! I hope it really takes off! Would you like to see these two actors perform together in an action comedy?
