Rutger published: Dylan O'Brien's Bold New Queer Comedy 'Twinless' Set for September Release

The much-anticipated queer comedy Twinless, starring the talented Dylan O'Brien, is set to premiere in cinemas this September. Fans of O'Brien, known for his roles in Teen Wolf, The Maze Runner trilogy, and Fantasmas, are eager to see him take on this daring new role.

In Twinless, O'Brien takes on the challenging task of portraying twin brothers, one of whom is straight while the other is queer. The film, directed by James Sweeney, explores the unexpected friendship that develops between two men who meet at a twin bereavement support group. As they navigate their grief and differences, a unique bromance unfolds.

Star-Studded Cast and Award-Winning Performances

James Sweeney, who not only directed but also wrote and produced the film, stars alongside O'Brien. The chemistry between the two leads has been praised by critics, with O'Brien's portrayal earning him the US dramatic special jury award for acting at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. The film itself won the audience award in the US dramatic category, adding to its allure.

Internationally, the film's distribution will be handled by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions, though an international release date has yet to be confirmed. In the United States, Roadside Attractions and Lionsgate have taken on the task of bringing this film to audiences, with a release date set for September 5th.

One scene in particular has garnered attention for its emotional depth. O'Brien described this moment as "the most naked thing I've ever had to do on a set," adding an intriguing layer of authenticity and vulnerability to his performance.

A Film for the Internet Age

The co-founders of Roadside Attractions, Eric d'Arbeloff and Howard Cohen, have expressed their enthusiasm for the film, calling it a "genuine comedic crowd pleaser and sophisticated examination of male friendship in the internet age." They praised Sweeney as "a generational talent both in front of and behind the camera," highlighting the film's unique vision and execution.

With a 95 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Twinless is already proving to be a hit with critics. The film's blend of comedy, drama, and exploration of modern male relationships promises to resonate with audiences.

Anticipation Builds

As the release date approaches, excitement continues to build around Twinless. The film's unique take on themes of identity, friendship, and loss is sure to spark conversation and reflection. Director James Sweeney, in a humorous nod to the film's reception, joked about "holding ample space for Twinless and overthinking future press quotes."

With its blend of humor, poignancy, and genuine exploration of human connection, Twinless stands to be one of the standout films of the year. Fans of Dylan O'Brien will not want to miss his standout performance in what is being hailed as a star-defining role.
