Eddie Murphy to Produce The Misadventures of Fluffy
There is this Urban Legend that Eddie Murphy’s popularity in the 80s died off when he made fun of Bill Cosby in his standup and felt the wrath of the father figure of the media and was discretely driven out of Hollywood. But then Murphy made his subtle return and became a face again.
But his efforts to make films his kids could watch has made him into the Carrot Top of comedy. He might get a brief laugh out of you here and there, but nothing to build a film around.
But with a rumoured Beverly Hills Cop 4 being written we may just yet see they Eddie Murphy of legends. But right now Murphy is developing an R Rated comedy with talking animals that he may star in. Now I know the title “The Misadventures of Fluffy” sounds like its another Doctor Dolittle, but it is slated to be rated R.
Fluffy is, at the moment, developing as an R-rated comedy, again for Paramount. Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly (behind Tyler Perry’s mooted The Diversification of Noah Miller) are currently writing the script, which is reportedly a social buddy-comedy a la Trading Places, about a journey across New York. Featuring talking animals.
Ok, the idea for the film sounds lame, but I am so desperate to see Eddie Murphy save his reputation and star in something edgier than Daddy Day Care, that I am going to cling to the one morsel in this news.
Eddie Murphy in a Rated R Film.
Thats all I have right now, and I am going with it.
a dont know. he hasnt been in a good movie for a while
GOD NO.
Eddie-listen to me man, dude get back to the good old days of Beverly Hills Cop.
Anything with a trinket of possibility that Murphy could be the comedic titan he was back then is something I’ll always be on board for. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Beverly Hills Cop 1-2, Trading Places, 48 Hours, and Coming To America. I looooove those movies.
don’t forget about The Distinguished Gentleman, Harlem Nights, and Boomerang. These were great too imo
…
Isn’t Carrot Top the Carrot Top of comedy…?
He should REALLY do a HBO stand-up special and blow our doors off.
that’ll shut them all up!
why hasn’t he anyway?
The best thing Eddie has done in years was Bowfinger. Absolutely brilliant! I bet I quote this movie to someone on a weekly basis. I’m really not sure what happened to this guy, but I miss the Eddie of old.
