Amazon has just presented the first trailer of Brothersa humorous crime film starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage as dysfunctional twin brothers who must put aside their differences to strike one last blow. An action-comedy story directed by filmmaker Max Barbakowdirector of fantasy Palm Springs. Of course, what cannot be denied in the streaming giant’s proposal is the interim commitment that the studio has made in this title which will soon be presented directly on Prime Video. October 17but in the United States it will have a brief theatrical run on October 10.
Barbakow surprised the film community in 2020 with the time-travel romantic comedy they starred in Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti. However, despite the success with critics and the public, it took him a long time to realize this new project based on an original idea by the screenwriter of Thunder of the Tropics And The bad guysEthan Cohen. Although in reality the transfer to the booklet is done by Macon Blair. Hollywood profile who began his career as an actor appearing in films such as Blue Ruin, Gold, The Florida Project Or Oppenheimer and who wrote tapes like the remake of The Toxic Avengeralso played by Dinklage. A humorous story that promises to delight fans of the buddy movies. But what is the official synopsis of this road movie that clearly arrives with humor as hooligan as that proposed in its promotional preview?
What is “Brothers” about?
The official summary shared by the company says the following: “Brothers tells the story of a reformed criminal (brolin) whose attempt at repair is thwarted when he finds his twin brother (Dinklage), who tests his sanity on a road trip to win the prize of a lifetime. Dodging bullets, the law, and an overbearing mother (Glenn Close) along the way, they must heal their broken family bond before they end up killing each other.
As if having Brolin, Dinklage and Close wasn’t enough, Brothers has Oscar winners in its cast, Brendan Fraser and Marisa Tomei in a supporting cast completed by Taylour Paige, Joshua Mikel and Christopher Cocke.
Fans of Barbakow’s previous work are in luck, as he recently stated Weekly Entertainment that Brothers would have some comic parallels with Palm Springs. “He has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, which means pathos, emotion and an anarchic comedy that really seeks to provoke big laughs, not so much through the jokes as through the characters,” the director said. Later, the American director explained that this film as well as his first feature film were two frankly personal projects for him:
“Like Josh Brolin in this film, I’m a little brother in the family dynamic. So it’s really an opportunity to continue to deepen my sensibility and also explore a very different part of myself, because Palm Springs was also very personal. “It was really about distilling the story of this dysfunctional family, which I think everyone could relate to, through the prism of a heist or a robbery,” he concluded. tell him EW.
The trailer maintains a crazy tone throughout most of the preview, with Brolin being able to see a recording which we are not at all accustomed to. Especially, knowing that in recent years we have seen it in films like Hitman, Avengers: Endgame, Dune 1 and 2 and the series Outward anger. Dinklage, on the other hand, has been in more projects than his co-star, appearing in the prequel to the hunger games Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and the failed romantic comedy, came to me. However, before the end of the year we will be able to see it in the expected Wicked.
