Every once in a while you hear an idea that sounds just so stupid you have to read it again… and after reading it again you think to yourself “well… actually… that could be kinda interesting”. Such is my reaction to the following news offered to us by the good folks over at ComingSoon:
DreamWorks and Imagine have set Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle screenwriters Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg to write Johnny Blaze, an action comedy that will be developed as a star vehicle for Eddie Murphy. Variety says Imagine’s Brian Grazer will produce.
Murphy would play the title character, an old-school rapper who retires and becomes a private eye who solves crimes within the hip-hop world.
You know what… I’ll probably regret saying this in about 20 minutes… but I actually think this could be kinda fun. Eddie Murphy is one of those guys who will surprise you every now and again (even though most of his modern stuff sucks). Who knows… this could be good. Am I crazy?
