2Who Made ‘Brothers’?
As previously mentioned, Barbakow is the director ofBrothers, which is his anticipated follow-up toPalm Springs. After working on the rom-com, he was eager to dip his toes into another project that also had a comedic tone, but wasn’t as similar to the time-loop love story.In an interview with Entertainment Weeklyahead of the Prime Video original’s release, he spoke about how the script was a callback to the humor of his first feature film, but its plot is drastically different. He also shared that the sibling dynamic between Moke and Jady connected to him on a personal level, due to his family dynamics growing up:
“Like Josh Brolin in this movie, I’m a younger brother in my family dynamic, so it’s really an opportunity to continue to chase my sensibility and also explore a different part of myself, becausePalm Springswas very personal, as well. This really was all about distilling the story of this dysfunctional family, which I think everybody could relate to, through the lens of a caper heist.”
The script was written byEtan CohenandMacon Blair, who were able to calibrate the film’s level of comedy and action due to their previous work. Cohen has vast experience writing comedic titles, coming up with the screenplays forMen in Black 3andGet Hard. As for Blair, he has written more action than comedy in the past and is credited as a writer on both57 SecondsandSmall Crimes.
Cohen, Blair, Brolin, and Dinklage also worked as producers, alongsideJessica Derhammer(Dune),David Ginsberg(American Dreamer),Joshua Grode(Enola Holmes),Andrew Lazar(American Sniper), andTrish ‘The Dish’ Stanard(The Vampire Diaries).
