Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and Media“Bros,” one of the first romantic comedies from a major studio to feature an almost entirely 2SLGBTQIA+ cast, will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.The film stars Billy Eichner of “Billy on the Street” fame.
Eichner wrote the script for “Bros” with Nicholas Stoller, who also directs. Stoller also directed “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Get Him to the Greek,” and, like those films, “Bros” is produced by Judd Apatow.
Universal is distributing the movie, which centers on two gay men with commitment issues who find themselves gradually falling in love.
Luke Macfarlane (“Killjoys”) plays the object of Eichner’s affection. In another milestone, Eichner is the first openly gay man to co-write and star in his own major studio film. “Bros” opens in theaters on Sept.
