Independent filmmakers the Duplass Brothers (above) are the latest touphold the Hollwood tradition of "keeping it in the family" when it comes to creativeprojects. Their latest effort, Jeff,Who Lives at Home, arrived in theaters over the weekend and wasdirected and written by both Jay andMark (who recently landed onPAPERMAG's L.A. Dirty Dozen list). The two have a history of writing, starring in,producing or directing projects that the other brother (or sometimes one of theirspouses!) wrote, starred in, produced or directed.

Hereare some other siblings we'd like to see collaborate. They're not all of thefilmmaking persuasion, so for the heck of it, we've listed some helpfulsuggestions for projects they can collaborate on:

Eli and Peyton Manning -- We can all agree that PeytonPlace, the soap from the 1960s, is LONG overdue for an update. (We're also prettymuch 100% sure that 76% of you have had that same thought at least once today.) Eliand Peyton can trade in their jerseys and Super Bowl rings for intrigue andbackstabbing. The two of them should play every single character. We're goingto need a large wig trunk and something with which we can create cleavage.

David and Andy Spade
-- Did you know that David Spadeis related to Andy Spade, owner of gallery/store Partners and Spade and former CEO and co-founder of Jack Spade and KateSpade (who's also his wife)? We'd like to see them on a The View-style panel talk show with anotherset of siblings, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. We imagine it involving a lot of outdoorvoices while Andy cooly sips tea from a blue-and-red polka-dot mug.

Williams Sisters.png

Venus and Serena Williams -- Let's get these girls off thecourt and in the kitchen. A tennis-themed cooking show, replete with tennis-based catchphrases like "Ace!" whenever Venus puts something in the ovenand Serena's trademarked "I swear to God I'll f*cking take the lasagna and shove it down your f*ckingthroat."

Sasha and Malia Obama -- Any sort of martial artsrelated endeavor. They could open a Dojo, or star in a Rumble in the Bronx-typeaction movie. Either one. Sensai Malia has a nice ring to it.

Cormac and Melissa McCarthy***
-- You know how you dread having 'the talk' with your children? The one where you break it to them that: "All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart havea common provenance in pain"? Or the one where you have to discuss "thecrushing black vacuum of the universe"? Let Cormac and Melissa come into yourhome and have those difficult conversations with your children on your behalfvia a very entertaining puppet show. Both Cormac and Melissa do all the voices.They'll teach your kids about the birds and the bees, and also the blood andthe West.
