Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas, along with younger brother Frankie (aka the Bonus Jonas) will make their first feature-film foray toplining Walter the Farting Dog. Based on the hugely popular kids' books, the film focuses on some musical siblings (apparently the Jonases subscribe to the Method acting camp) who must take care of their aunt's odiferous pooch.
According to Variety, another set of famous siblings obsessed with bodily function hijinks, Bobby and Peter Farrelly, are in talks to direct for 20th Century Fox.
