No, they're not remaking I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Yet.
Sly and Arnie are currently mooted to unite on screen for the first time in Incredible Love, a production bourne of Bollywood, made in Hollywood and potentially destined for massive things.
The Bolly/Holly divide is still in place, and the two industries work on massively different terms. The film will apparently have the biggest bugdet in Bollywood history - and yet only clock in at around $11 million, meaning great returns for Universal, who are taking up the filming reins.
This could be an incredibly canny way to utilise the stars' dual power. Whether it'll follow the time-tested and incredibly popular Bollywood formula of high melodrama, musical numbers, chastity, action and remarkable length (Titanic just about cuts the Bollywood mustard, length-wise, but where are the songs?) remains to be seen, as does the nature of their roles.
This pairing will have a massive draw for anyone who grew up on their action movies. Will they play it cute? Hostile? Camp? Could it be awesome?
