A historic first — but hopefully the first of many opportunities to come. 🌈
may be the first of its kind in several ways, my real hope is that it is only the first of many opportunities for openly LGBTQ+ ensembles to shine and show the world all we are capable of as actors, beyond just being the wacky sidekick, token queer or a straight movie star’s ‘gay best friend,’” he said. “And beyond all of that, this cast is f*cking hysterical and you’re going to love them.”
He added that he “could not be more proud or excited” about the historic nature of the upcoming film, explaining, “After queer actors have spent decades watching straight actors capitalize both artistically and professionally by playing LGBTQ+ characters, it is a long overdue dream come true to be able to assemble this remarkable, hilarious cast.”
Eichner also announced the movie on social media, with a nod to the slow nature of progress in Hollywood. “In shocking news, BROS will be the first rom com about gay men ever produced by a major studio and, apparently, I’m the first openly gay man to ever write and star in their own studio film,” he, he joked, “Move over Julia Roberts, there’s a new rom com QUEEN in town!” We are so ready for this — and there’s less than a year to wait.
