When Eddie Murphy did Boomerangm, his character had a foot fetish. Hip Hollywood’s Jasmine Simpkins wanted to know if he has one too. He let her know he does not.
Considering he has 10 children, I think we all knew the answer to that question.
Since we are talking about Murphy, he gave Collider an update on Beverly Hills Cop 4. He said, “Yeah that’s what we’re doing after Coming to America 2. We’re doing Beverly Hills Cop and then the plan is to get back on stage and do standup. That’s what I’ll be doing mostly is standup. These movies and Saturday Night Live it’s kind of like…I’m looking at it as a bookend. If I decided I wanted to stay on the couch forever, I ended it on a funny note.”
Am I the only person who will miss his horrible movies like Pluto Nash. They were so awful, they were actually funny.
From the ’80s until 2010, it always seemed like Eddie Murphy always had a new movie out. However, since 2010, he has only starred in 3 live-action films. That is all about to change because he has a new movie coming out this fall on Netflix.
Dolemite Is My Name is different than what he is known for and yet he makes it work. Could be because playing Blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray More. To me, it kind of looks like The Disaster Artist, but with a much better cast.
Will it be Oscar worthy? We will find out in a few weeks. I am just hoping that Eddie Murphy is back to making enjoyable movies.
If not, then someone will make a movie like this about him and one of his films like Pluto Nash.
Eddie Murphy was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and the two men talked about their friend Tracy Morgan. Then all of sudden, Pluto Nash did an impression of his friend and it was spot. Not only did he sound like him, he also mastered his mannerisms. It was amazing to watch.
So much so, I want to see Morgan and Murphy do a body switch movie where they have to have to imitate the other one for most of it like Freaky Friday. How hilarious would it be to to see skinny and “Fat Murphy” in the same film together.
Back in 1985, Eddie Murphy was like Party All the Time, but people thought they he should stick to doing comedy and movies instead of singing. Now it is 30, yes 3-0, years later and he is thinking of releasing another album.
The Nutty Professor released a Reggae beat on Facebook today called Oh Jah Jah and said, “If people respond to this, then I might do another album.” I don’t know about you, but I’d be Delirious if did just that. Especially, if all the songs sound like one. You ready for another Eddie Murphy record?
CBS decided not to move forward with a show based on Beverly Hills Cop, but looks like a new movie is in the works. The show’s creator Shawn Ryan Tweeted, “Sad to report that efforts to land Beverly Hills Cop pilot at another network have failed. This iteration is dead for now. Good news for fans of franchise is that the pilot tested so well, it has caused Paramount to put another #BHC movie into development.”
No word if that means Eddie Murphy will be the lead or if they will go with pilot’s concept and base it around Axel Foley’s son. I am hoping it’s all about Axel because I’d like to see Murphy get back to where he was.
