Prime Video's Brothers is not the movie fans expect Josh Brolin or Peter Dinklage to make. The two actors are very much known for their serious roles in some of the biggest films and TV of all time. Academy Award nominee Brolin's credits include playing Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and starring in Jonah Hex, while Dinklage is a fan-favorite from HBO's Game of Thrones and Tubi's grim Western The Thicket. So what possessed the two of them to make an outrageous comedy?

Cbr spoke to the two actors about how they'd wanted to work together on a project before Brothers. They also discussed why they wanted their first collaboration to be a comedy, and what they consider the highlights of the movie. Plus, why do they consider all of the characters in the film to be "extreme"?

Cbr: The two of you had wanted to find something to do together.

Quick Links Brendan Fraser Has Always Been an Underrated Comedic Actor Brendan Fraser Gives His Best Comedic Performance Yet in Prime's Brothers

Brendan Fraser has had a fascinating and, at times, tragic career trajectory since his first feature film appearance in 1992's Encino Man. Brendan Fraser thrived in the '90s and was looking to become a big star, appearing in fan-pleasing comedies such as Airheads (1994) and action films like The Mummy (1999). However, the 2000s and 2010s saw significant challenges for the actor on both a personal and professional level, with many of his movies falling short of expectations, health issues, and blacklisting after being sexually assaulted (People).

Despite Fraser's problems within the industry and personal struggles, the actor has since seen a resurgence in popularity. This was brought on by his innate skills as a performer, yet his charms as a person have certainly gone a long way...

Prime Videos new action comedy, Brothers, has debuted at the top of the Prime Video chart. Starring Josh Brolin, Peter Dinklage, and Glenn Close, the movie sees the three former Marvel actors on screen together for the first time, but hasnt exactly been pulling in reviews that match the caliber of its stars from either critics or viewers.

Like many new streaming releases, Brothers has very easily found a way to the top of Prime Videos movie chart, overtaking crime drama Killer Heat and the steamy Zendaya-led hit Challengers. The film is a road trip movie that finds going-straight criminal Moke Munger (Brolin) and his wayward brother Jady (Dinklage) looking for the biggest score of their lives. However, nothing is going to be that simple and chaos ensues as the pair attempt to avoid being arrested, shot, or beaten to death by the tongue of their overbearing mother (Close). While...

It should be impossible to look at Brothers and not make a parallel with Ivan Reitman's Twins (1988), because of the differences between its lead actors, Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin. But there are far more similarities than that: there's criminality, a debt-chasing villain, sharp flashes of violence, and a road trip to reconnect with an absent mother. There's also the actual difference between the brothers: who they are inside.

The subtlety of Reitman's Twins was not in mining the comedy potential of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito's physical appearances as much as their different backgrounds. Mercifully, Brothers follows a similar trend, avoiding making cheap jokes to explore the sensibility clash between the delightfully named Jady (Dinklage) and Moke (Brolin). That shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone who saw Barbakow's Palm Springs (itself incessantly likened to Groundhog Day).

Peter Dinklage shares the reason why he and Josh Brolin decided to star together in the upcoming comedy movie Brothers.

During a press junket for the promotion of his latest movie Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Dinklage opened up about his long-in-development project with Brolin, revealing the story of how the project came to be. Speaking with Collider, the Game of Thrones star explained that the idea for the movie came when one of Bolin's friends noticed how the two acclaimed actors had similar sizes of heads, leading him to conclude that they should play each other’s brothers.

Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage is of course most well-known for being the funniest Lannister in all of Westeros during his near decade-long tenure on HBO's Game of Thrones, but many of his fans probably didn't expect him to next bring his innate comedic talents to an epic brotherly team-up with none other than Josh Brolin. In 2019 it was announced that the two would be co-starring in a new comedy film called Brothers, with the two of them playing siblings. While there's no trailer or release date for the film just yet, Dinklage took part in an exclusive interview with Collider to talk about the experience, as well as exactly how he and Brolin came together for such a silly concept.

One of the most — if not the most — imaginative short film directors out there, Brian Lonano, is planning on upping his considerable game on his forthcoming film, Gwilliam. To be able to do so, he’s turned to IndieGoGo to help crowdfund a movie that he says will “test your stomach’s endurance and challenge your sexual functioning for weeks after viewing.”

For about 10 years, Lonano has been cranking out enormously entertaining lo-fi effects extravaganzas like 2008’s Attackazoids! and 2012’s The Transmission. His previous film, the insanely crowd-pleasing Crow Hand!!!, screened at rockin’ film fests all over the world, including SXSW and the Hollywood Underground Film Festival.

Gwilliam is being described as “a terrible, terrible love story between man and goblin” and will feature a fully functioning animatronic puppet as the lead creature. On the human side of the cast, the film will star William Tokarsky, the veteran character actor...

We love us some Brian Lonano in these parts, the cult fave short filmmaker having turned up in this pages almost right from the very beginning with such titles as Attackazoids, The Transmission and Crow Hand.

Veteran character actor William Tokarsky makes up the man part of the equation with the goblin to be an animatronic puppet, which is largely where the crowd funding kicks in. Seriously, these guys are awesome. So check out Crow Hand below - available online only for the duration of the crowd funding campaign...
