Billy Eichner is just trying to find someone to love in the trailer for Bros
The film will be the first gay rom-com from a major studio that also features an entirely LGBTQ+ main cast
For a dollar, name a gay rom-com lead! If you said Billy Eichner, congrats on your win, as Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for the meta rom-com Bros. Bros stars and was written by the Billy On The Street comedian.
The film marks a monumental moment in film, as it will be the first major studio romantic comedy centered around two gay men that also features an entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast. Additionally, Eichner is the first openly gay man to both star and co-write in his own major studio film.
In the trailer, Eichner’s character breaks the fourth wall a bit, discussing how he was asked to write a rom-com about a gay couple by some big-time movie producers. “Something a straight guy might like?” he snarks. “Am I gonna be in the middle of some high speed chase, then all of a sudden fall in love with Ice Cube? Or am I gonna get butt fucked by Jason Momoa while we’re both worrying about a volcano?”
