This week finally saw the release of the first trailer, which sees Billy’s character Bobby Leiber discuss writing a gay Hollywood romantic comedy (so meta!) while teasing a gay love story, chosen family and the brutality of online dating (relatable!).Įichner, who had never written a film before Bros, tells GAY TIMES that he was “worried at the beginning” of the creative process that he “didn’t have anything to say” about the gay community. Written by the Parks and Recreation alum with Nick Stoller (Neighbors), with the latter also directing the film, Bros has been billed as the first gay rom-com to be produced by a major Hollywood studio. Bros star Billy Eichner says it was important for him to “reflect” his experiences as a “sexual, complicated gay man” in the historic new rom-com.
