Nowhereland is another family comedy starring Murphy, and has found itself a director – Over the Hedge writer Karey Kirkpatrick. Eddie Murphy has been considered less popular around here than posts about Britney Spears haircut. But honestly I still like the guy. This is yet another reason why.
The Paramount Pictures project centers on a struggling businessman who solves his troubles at work by consulting his 6-year-old daughter and the imaginary world she has created.
Well Murphy is doing what he loves best, and frankly the studios like it best too. They make pantloads of money when Murphy does a family film.
I like the idea that they are focusing on the rabid imagination of youth. Recently my boy started drawing little comic books on a world and creation of his own and frankly its better stuff than I see NickJr farting out for saturday morning cartoons.
The raw untouched talent of an untainted youth is a well to be tapped. Lets suck it dry before he comes up with ideas that just fit into the cookie cutter world of Hollywood scriptwriters!
