Billy Eichner Co-Writes, Will Star in Christmas Comedy for Amazon

"Bros" writer-star Billy Eichner is forging forward with a Christmas-themed comedy, penning and starring in a movie about a mother, a son, a "creepy brother," and "a charming small town in Vermont."

"The Queens native, 46, is co-writing the upcoming project with celebrated playwright and 'Sister Act' screenwriter Paul Rudnick," Page Six detailed.

The movie is "about a mother-son duo from New York City who go up to spend Christmas with my character's creepy brother in a charming small town in Vermont," Page Six quoted Eichner as saying.

This isn't Eichner's first collab with out playwright, novelist, and screenwriter Rudnick. The two also penned a script for another film that Amazon snapped up in 2021, "Ex-Husbands," which Eicher was also set to co-star in. As EDGE reported at the time, "Ex-Husbands" was to have centered on "Daniel and Connor, a gay couple once madly in love, and one of the first to be legally married, who must now contend with an epic divorce."

That movie has not yet been made, but Eichner has been busy with other projects, including revisiting the character of Timon in the "Lion King" prequel "Mufasa." Of course, Eichner also wrote and starred in the 2022 gay rom-com "Bros," in which he and co-star Luke Macfarlane played a mismatched pair who find true love.

Macfarlane, too, has crossed paths with Rudnick before, having starred in the world premiere production of Rudnick's play "Big Night" in 2017.

Eichner delved into the myth of this supposedly "Madonna-themed" bar mitzvah with Page Six, correcting the record b expaining, ""It has been widely reported that it was Madonna-themed," he revealed. "It was technically Broadway meets pop music because I couldn't decide."

Explained the "Parks and Recreation" star, "So on one side of the DJ booth there was a life-size airbrushed portrait of Madonna and on the other side of the DJ booth was a similarly life-size airbrushed picture of 'The Phantom of the Opera.' "
