    • Why not? Triplets should have been made long ago. If they cast the right guy to play the third brother it’ll be a big hit.

  • It would honestly be very dificult to come up with a worse idea than this (not that I’m saying it couldn’t be done).

    • Alex, it could be done, but it would probably take a “Manhattan Project” level of effort to do it.

    • Here’s a worst idea: Arnold singing Shakespeare in a musical. Shirtless (stretch marks and sag! Ooooo,sexy!). (How do you live in America for over 50 years and never master the language?) Take some advise from an old person: You either retire gracefully or crash and burn with tons of embarrassment.
