Bros has finally arrived and it's been worth the wait. Bros is the first LGBTQ+ romantic comedy green-lit by a major studio.
Eichner co-wrote, produced, and is one of two male leads in the Universal Pictures film. He's the first out gay man to ever write and star in his own major studio film.
The film follows Eichner as a podcast host hired by a studio to pen a gay romantic comedy.The trailer shows circuit parties, family moments, gym workouts, business meetings, and even a four-man orgy — and also a cameo of sorts by The Advocate.Every major cast member in the film is LGBTQ+, including Luke Macfarlane, Amanda Bearse, Harvey Fierstein, Bowen Yang, Ts Madison, Symone, Miss Lawrence, Guillermo Diaz, and Guy Branum.
Even the straight parts are portrayed by LGBTQ+ actors.“From the very beginning of developing Bros, I let everyone involved know that, while I wanted to make a movie that was hilarious and relatable to everyone, first and foremost I wanted to make a movie that felt authentic for the LGBTQ folks that the movie is about — and who have been so profoundly underserved by Hollywood over the years, particularly the major movie studios.
