reports Amazon Studios is developing a new movie titled Ex-Husbands about a married gay couple who end up in an epic War of the Roses-style divorce. Based on an original story by Billy Eichner and Paul Rudnick, Eichner is also set to star in the comedy, with the screenplay by Rudnick. “The concept of a big, gay divorce comedy has been kicking around in my head for years and I cannot think of better collaborators than groundbreaking producers Greg and Sarah, and a true icon whose work I have craved and admired since I was a young gay boy lusting after show business, the brilliant Paul Rudnick who really paved the way for me and many others,” said Eichner. “And we now have the perfect partners in Amazon, who have already shown enormous passion for this project,” he added. “This is a dream team. Now, LET’S GET DIVORCED!!!” https://twitter.com/billyeichner/status/1422606125195694080 From Deadline:
The film tells the story of Daniel and Connor, who were madly in love when they became the first gay couple in NYC to get legally married in 2015 and poster boys for LGBTQ love and acceptance – with an epic wedding party to boot!
The only problem now is: they’re getting an even more epic divorce. It’s a War of the Roses-style battle for the ages as Daniel and Connor viciously, hilariously and poignantly become Ex-Husbands.
The great Billy Eichner and I are working on a movie, which was announced today. Which explains all these flowers from the Pences
