A24 has boarded the new R-rated musical comedy F*cking Identical Twins directed by Borat helmer Larry Charles. The film stars and is written by Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp — featuring original songs by Jackson, Sharp, and Karl Saint Lucy — based on the triumvirate’s original two-man stage show that premiered at the Upright Citizens Brigade in 2014.
In addition to Jackson and Sharp, the film has assembled an all-star cast including Tony winner Nathan Lane, Emmy winner Megan Mullally, Saturday Night Live‘s Bowen Yang and multiple Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion.
The film is a subversive musical spin on The Parent Trap, following two business adversaries who realize they’re identical twin brothers and decide to switch places in order to reunite their divorced parents and become a family again.
Chernin Entertainment will produce and co-finance alongside A24. Chernin Entertainment previously produced the musical film The Greatest Showman in 2017.
