Trailer released for Bros, the 'first gay rom-com from a major studio'

  • 19/05/2022

The first trailer has been released for Bros, which is described as the first gay romantic comedy to be made by a major studio.

A raunchy film is teased in the NSFW clip with plenty of sex jokes, swearing and the classic rom-com story of two people unexpectedly crossing paths before unwillingly falling for each other.

One of the scenes features six people meeting about a US National Museum of LGBTQ+ History & Culture and arguing about which group is more poorly represented.

"Oh my God, do you guys remember straight people?" one asks.

"Yeah, they had a nice run," another replies.

Bros is written by Billy Eichner, who is also the lead star, making him the first openly gay man to ever write and star in his own major studio film. It's also said to be the first major studio film to have an entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast.

In a message released with the trailer, Eichner said: "While it's insane to me that it took this long to get this movie made, it's still incredibly exciting to me - and a real sign of progress - that the same studio making movies like Jurassic World and The Fast and the Furious is also releasing this R-rated gay rom with an all LGBTQ+ cast, and with as much passion and enthusiasm as they release those other films.

"It's taken way too long. I wish we had a movie like Bros when I was a kid - but I'm so excited and proud that this day has finally come!"

Eichner co-wrote the film with Nicholas Stoller, who also directed it. His previous movies include Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Neighbors.

Bros is set to be released in September.
