Eddie Murphy got monologuing promoting Shrek 4 and got sidetracked about what is next for the now unfunny comedy legend. Seems he is planning to pitch another Klumps movie. Because clearly we haven’t seen Eddie play that many characters in a movie in a while now. Its obviously time for more fart jokes.
Access Hollywood quotes Murphy:
“You know what, there might be another ‘Nutty Professor,’” Eddie Murphy told Access Hollywood‘s Shaun Robinson at the LA premiere of “Shrek Forever After” on Sunday, breaking the news of the possible sequel’s latest development. “We kind of wrote something that might be kind of funny.”
Whether or not the film hits theaters, he added, depends on just how funny it is. “If the studios want to do it, we’ll do it,” he told Shaun. “If you don’t see it, the studio was like, ‘This isn’t funny.’”
I kind of vote for the “this isn’t funny” approach. The last one wasn’t and I don’t know if they could do that better.
And frankly someone has to hold Eddie down, put him in a leather suit and slap him anytime he says something the kids are allowed to hear. Maybe he is haunted by the judgemental looks of Bill Cosby everytime he thinks of doing a film where he swears.
I get that he wants to make films his kids can watch, but honestly I can’t wait for his kids to get old enough to watch rated R films.
I want old Eddie back.
