Unlikely Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy Triplets, the sequel for the 1988 comedy Twins co-staring Danny DeVito as Arnold's twin brother, could start shooting this year according to the big man himself.  

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Schwarzenegger revealed that Triplets, the long-gestating sequel to Twins that would add comedy icon Eddie Murphy to the family, may start shooting by year’s end.

He says: 

“We are just now working on Triplets. That is on top of the list, for me. Because I’ve been trying to do that for 20 years. Ivan Reitman (the director of Twins) believes in it. Danny DeVito believes in it – who always believed in it – and Eddie Murphy believes in it. It’s going to be terrific! So, we are looking forward to that.”

Twins saw Schwarzenegger play Julius, the so-called better half of an experiment where all the best traits of a group of men where combined to create a genetically superior human. But when the surrogate mother gave birth to two babies, it was discovered, one got all the “superior” genes and the other got the “crap.” The “superior” twin, Julius, was raised in a nurturing environment on a distant island, while the other twin, Vincent (DeVito), was raised in an orphanage in the states and eventually turned loose to grow up a small-time crook. 

If the movie stays with its formula, Triplets will presumably introduce us to a secret third baby that went unmentioned in 1988 film and will grow up to be Murphy’s character.
