Didn't Eddie Murphy already try this with the Coming to America Amazon sequel and have it spectacularly fail?
Perhaps, but have you considered the following:
You know what? I can't argue with that.
You mean Murphy or the studios? I can't fault Murphy for taking a paycheque, but if the studios think this is going to make money then they're likely in for a rude awakening.
Definitely just Murphy. Likely has a producing credit and some kind of backend %. Netflix can save it.
I cannot believe that you, [80'S ICON], are still in your same demanding front-line job! Don't you realize that [SUPPORTING CHARACTER] is now a [POSITION OF AUTHORITY]?!?!?!?!?
Hello, my name is Hollywood. It has come to my attention you at one point liked this thing. For your entertainment I have shit all over this thing and would request you consume it.
No thank you?
Shoves shit down your throat - I SAID FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!
There was a pilot for a TV show in 2013. The show was based around Axel Foley's son but Eddie Murphy appears in the pilot.
The studio thought Murphy would make an appearance semi regularly but when he said no, that killed the show from ever happening.
It's floating around on the internet if you want to see it.
That title isn't even trying. Barely gives an F.
