Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage embark on a thrilling cinematic adventure as twin brothers in their latest film, 'Brothers,' premiering with a pulse-pounding trailer on Prime Video on Tuesday, September 17th. The film showcases the dynamic duo, Brolin (56) and Dinklage (55), portraying twins from a notorious criminal dynasty who reunite for one final heist, inadvertently dragging their estranged mother (Glenn Close) into the fray.
The trailer introduces Brendan Fraser as a formidable foe, menacingly demanding the return of invaluable emeralds from Dinklage's character, Mike. Through a gripping voiceover, Mike reveals that he and his brother Moke (Brolin) have long been in cahoots, but Moke's marriage led him to abandon their life of crime – until Mike cunningly lures him back in.
Their unexpected reunion with their mother, after decades of separation, sparks a devious plan: a quest to amass $4 million as a trio, filled with edge-of-your-seat action sequences and side-splitting humor. The star-studded cast also boasts Marisa Tomei, Taylour Paige, M. Emmet Walsh, and Jennifer Landon, under the deft direction of Max Barbakow ('Palm Springs') and a script penned by Macon Blair ('The Toxic Avenger'), based on a captivating story conceived by Etan Cohen.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Barbakow reminisced about the eclectic ensemble unleashing their comedic prowess on set: "It was like a murderer's row of esteemed actors who embraced the absurdity and weirdness wholeheartedly. It's a wild ride, indeed."
'Brothers' narrates the tale of a reformed criminal whose attempt at redemption is thwarted by the reappearance of his twin, a testament to chaos itself, on a cross-country odyssey aimed at pulling off the heist of a lifetime. As they dodge bullets, evade the law, and navigate the overbearing presence of their mother, the brothers must mend their frayed familial bonds before they ultimately destroy each other.
Marking Brolin's second silver screen appearance in 2024, following his reprisal of Gurney Halleck in 'Dune: Part Two,' and a star turn in Prime Video's 'Outer Range' season two, 'Brothers' is Dinklage's third film this year, rounding out an impressive lineup that includes 'Unfrosted' and 'The Thicket.'
Set to hit select theaters on October 10th and streaming exclusively on Prime Video from October 17th, 'Brothers' promises a non-stop thrill ride that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
