Farrelly Brothers Address if They’ll Direct a Movie Together Again

The Farrelly brothers have directed some of the most beloved films of all time, and although the pair haven’t co-directed a film together on a film in a decade, the pair are never saying never when it comes to doing so again.

Speaking to ComingSoon, the pair — Bobby and Peter — were asked about whether or not they would direct a film together again or if they preferred to just work as they do now, splitting up directing and writing work. According to Peter, the pair could get behind the camera together again, but the work they do now is more or less “seamless” in their cooperation.

What did the Farrelly brothers say about directing together again?

“No, I could definitely see us doing something again, but it is easier solo because… Like our TV show, Loudermilk, I would write the episodes and direct a couple, but then Bobby would come in and direct all the other episodes, and I’d be editing them as he’s directing them,” said Peter. “It is sort of seamless. Literally when I’m editing, I can’t remember if I directed it or he directed it because I’m looking at it so much. I’m like, “Was I there that day? I can’t remember.” So it’s a good system, but I would love to. I hope we do direct [together again]. It’ll be fun.”

Bobby also said that, as of now, they get more work done by splitting up, but for the “right project,” they would definitely come together.

“It is fun. Yeah. But we get a lot more done if we split up a little. Divide and conquer. But at the right project, we’ll come back to work together again.”

As a duo, the Farrelly brothers have directed some of the most memorable comedies in Hollywood history, including Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, There’s Something About Mary, Me, Myself & Irene, Shallow Hal, and more. Most recently, the pair were behind the 2024 films Ricky Stanicky and Dear Santa. Peter wrote and directed the former, while Bobby directed Dear Santa, which Peter wrote.
