It looks like that sequel to "Twins" is in the very close future, according to actor Josh Gad. Gad, who was recently in the Steve Jobs biopic "Jobs" and Disney's "Frozen", is co-writing the script with a Ray Dixon and focusing on the two brothers, played by Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger, meeting their improbable third brother, portrayed by Eddie Murphy.

Sound a little stupid to you? Gad addresses any possible naysaying or concept that this movie will fall short. "We're very reverential to the original, but have our tongue firmly in our cheek," he says, according to an article on ComingSoon.net. "It's very modernized. It's taking them (the brothers) into the new world and it’s acknowledging that comedy’s changed a lot in 20 years."

We're not sure when "Terminator 5" will begin filming as we've heard both late January and another report saying April. If T5 does film in April, Twins 2 could be Arnold's next film! All we know is that we hear daily from the fans saying they'll be DAMNED if Twins 2 gets any attention by Universal BEFORE The Legend of Conan! We agree with these fans. If Twins comes first before Terminator, so be it; that's fine. BUT, if it comes AFTER Arnold's cyborg role and Universal Pictures picks Twins over Conan as his follow-up film, then we hope Universal leaves enough room in their stomachs for 10 million Conan fan's fists!!! We'll be damned if Twins 2 bombs making Universal pull the plug on Conan. The Legend of Conan will be epic and T5 and this barbarian role will propel The Oak back to his A+ Hollywood status. Twins could then follow and make more money after Conan's mega success! Come on, Universal Pictures, Crom never listens to us so we hope you will.

Gad elaborates on the sibling comedy, "If you saw 'Twins' and it was released as a movie currently, you'd be like, ‘This is really strange,' so we honor that and we respect it, but we also play on it."

What do you think, Arnold fans? Has Gad convinced you that "Twins 2: Triplets" is ready for delivery?

"'Triplets' is getting very close," Gad assured. "We handed in our first draft to much enthusiasm and we're doing a second draft right now that's like minuscule changes and it's very exciting. It's very real."
