While Reitman has been busy producing a reboot of his comedy classic Ghostbusters - son Jason Reitman took the helm of Ghostbusters: Afterlife that Sony Pictures bows November 19 - he was eager to get back behind the camera and replicate what he said was a most pleasant experience.
It worked out very well for us in Twins, I see no reason not to do that here.” We’re dealing with this as an independent, and we want to keep the costs low. It looks great and has mountains nearby, and has a good tax deal. Reitman said Boston looks like the perfect venue: “We need the winter and my guess is we probably shoot in Boston. These guys have great chemistry together, and you can see that in the reel, and how much energy they bring out in each other.” It’s really a film about family and, no matter how different we all are, we have to learn to get along. “They don’t know each other and very early in the movie they meet and it’s how they achieve a bond together after all these years. Here is the premise: “Secretly, there was a third baby born, a Black baby, who hasn’t been in touch with his siblings,” Reitman shared. They had to act on it very quickly, which they didn’t, because we hadn’t really developed it.” In terms of future rights, Universal had very restrictive secondary rights in terms of sequels. But it came with a lot of gross and so we ended up doing very well. We decided we would do this where there was very little money upfront. He loved the script and really believed in it. “It was his first picture as the chairman of Universal. “We had this fabulous deal we made with Tom Pollock, who wound up being my partner at Montecito Pictures,” Reitman said. The original was a big hit for Universal - $216 million global gross - but Reitman said that the terms called for a reversion of rights if the sequel wasn’t made in a certain amount of time. Now, we’ll go out and try and put the money together and get it made.” I thought he would make a terrific triplet, and we rewrote the whole script for him. I’d been good friends with Tracy Morgan for a long time and always thought he was one of the funniest men in the world. And we knew we were going to make it at the beginning of next year. “It was, ‘I should be a triplet, that could be a very funny comedy.’ We started a script with Eddie, and after the success he had with Amazon Prime on Coming 2 America, he got himself booked up heavily. “ Twins was quite successful, and some years after, this whole thing started with Arnold meeting Eddie Murphy, and the suggestion came from one of them,” Reitman told Deadline.
