Billy Eichner is looking for love in 'Bros,' a steamy gay rom-com

If you're looking for love this fall, Billy Eichner's romantic comedy "Bros" is here to fill the niche. The film, in which Eichner stars, co-writes and produces, is about a screenwriter who is tasked with writing a great gay studio romantic comedy but ends up finding himself the star of a real life. Universal Pictures describes it as "a smart, swooning, heartfelt comedy about finding sex, love, and romance amid madness." The film is directed by "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" director Nicholas Stoller, who co-wrote the film with Eichner, and is produced by Judd Apatow, Stoller and Joshua Church. According to Universal, "Bros" is the first gay romantic comedy from a major studio with an all-LGBTQ+ cast.

"I couldn't be more proud or excited about the historic nature of the openly LGBTQ+ cast of 'Bros.' After queer actors have spent decades watching straight actors capitalize both artistically and professionally by playing LGBTQ+ characters, it's been a long-time dream come true to be able to assemble this remarkable and hilarious cast," Eichner said. to the Hollywood Reporter in 2021." And while 'Bros' may be the first of its kind in many ways, my real hope is that it's just the first of many opportunities for openly LGBTQ+ ensembles to shine and shine. show the world what we are capable of as actors, beyond just being the wacky sidekick, token queer or "gay best friend" of a straight movie star. this cast is fucking hysterical and you're going to love them."

Eichner also told GQ this month what it means to have a big commercial release for "Bros." "It's the scale on which ['Bros'] was created, and also the reach with which it's distributed, and the fact that it's playing in theaters, not just across the country, but everywhere. in the world. It's what it's about," he said. "I don't say that as an insult to other movies, but when Universal puts its financial resources and its marketing resources behind a movie like this, it really seeps into the system in a way that a movie smaller or a streaming movie or series maybe not."
