One of the many movies to debut world premiere footage at this year’s CinemaCon was director Nicholas Stoller’s rom-com Bros. Starring Billy Eichner—who co-wrote the film with Stoller—Bros. is the first rom-com about gay men ever produced by a major studio , and it looks excellent.
Shortly before Billy Eichner was given his award for Comedy Star of the Year, I got to speak with him backstage about Bros. He talked about how the project happened, working with Stoller, what they learned while test screening the movie, and why it was important to not shy away from the sex scenes. Check out what we had to say in the player above, or you can read our conversation below.
And no one has ever asked me to write a movie or star in a movie or anything like that. So, I just said "Yes," knowing it was a huge opportunity, but having no idea what the movie would be about or whether I could pull it off. I'm very grateful to Nick for believing in me.
I'm not saying we met that level with Bros, because those are classic movies, and I'm not saying that. But we tried to hold ourselves to that standard. But what we realized during the test screening is that although people's main reaction was that, "oh wow, it's really funny," people were surprisingly moved by the film.
