Marlon Wayans Will Play Six Different Characters in Netflix's new Comedy SEXTUPLETS
Marlon Wayans of White Chicks fame, is set to star in a new Netflix comedy called Sextuplets and he will play six different characters in the film! Wayans is known for his silly comedy movie work, so it's not surprising to see him take on a project like this. Here are the story details:
Sextuplets tells the story of Alan (Wayans), a man embarking on a personal journey to meet his birth mother before the arrival of his first child. When Alan meets his brother, Russell, he discovers that he was born a sextuplet and decides to seek out his four other siblings (all played by Wayans). Together, the two brothers set out on a road trip to track down the rest of the family that they’ve never known, and Alan quickly realizes he may have gotten more than he bargained for.
The comedy will be directed by Michael Tiddes, who previously worked with Waynes on the films Naked, Haunted house, A Haunted house 2, and Fifty Shades of Black. Sextuplets was written by Mike Glock, Rick Alvarez and Wayans, and it will also reunite him with Marlon TV series star Bresha Webb. The movie goes into production next month.
Wayans had this to say in a statement:
"Excited to be in business with Netflix on yet another project. I love how they embrace comedy and diversity. I am looking forward to doing the thing I love most… comedy."
Rick Alvarez added:
"Ever since we received the script from Nathan Reimann, Marlon and I have considered this movie a labor of love. Couldn’t be happier to team up once again with Mike Tiddes and Netflix."
Netflix has made a lot of terrible original comedies over the years. It's not really their strong suit, but does this sound like something you might enjoy?
