Starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage, the film promises a unique blend of crime, comedy, and chaos. This highly anticipated movie is set to release in select theaters on October 10 before hitting Amazon Prime Video a week later.
Lights, Camera, Heist
“Brothers” revolves around two criminal siblings, portrayed by Brolin and Dinklage, who decide to execute one last heist. The film takes viewers on a road trip filled with misadventures, witty dialogues, and the kind of sibling rivalry only Brolin and Dinklage can deliver. In the trailer, Brolin’s character, tired of a life of crime, declares his intentions to quit, sparking his brother’s enthusiasm for one final caper.
The Ensemble Cast
The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award-winning Brendan Fraser, Glenn Close, Taylour Paige, M. Emmet Walsh, and Jennifer Landon. Each actor brings their unique flair to the film, adding depth and humor to what promises to be a memorable ride.
Behind the Scenes
Max Barbakow is no stranger to the comedy genre, having directed the critically acclaimed “Palm Springs” starring Andy Samberg in 2020. For “Brothers,” Barbakow collaborated with screenwriter Macon Blair, while the storyline credits go to Etan Cohen. The film’s production was handled by Legendary Pictures with Brolin, Dinklage, Andrew Lazar, and David Ginsberg serving as producers.
Peter Dinklage shed light on the film’s origin during an interview with Collider. According to him, the initial pitch to studios was sparked by a humorous remark from a friend of Brolin’s who noted that both actors have “really big heads,” making them perfect for playing siblings.
Future Projects
Interestingly, Barbakow is already gearing up for another exciting venture—a body-swap comedy featuring Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, also under Amazon MGM Studios. Clearly, the director is keen on blending comedy with intriguing narratives, something he has proved adept at.
Cast’s Recent Endeavors
Josh Brolin has been quite busy lately, with prominent roles in the “Dune” franchise and the TV series “Outer Range.” Peter Dinklage isn’t far behind, having recently been seen in “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” and soon lending his voice to the highly anticipated movie adaptation of “Wicked.”

For those eager to get a sneak peek, the first trailer has already been released, showcasing the dynamic chemistry between Brolin and Dinklage and giving a taste of the comedic chaos that ensues during their final heist. It’s an entertaining ride packed into a few minutes and more than enough to stoke the anticipation.
Closing Credits
