In an untitled Netflix comedy directed by Kenya Barris, Eddie Murphy will feature with Jonah Hill. Murphy and Barris worked together on Murphy's 'Coming 2 America,' the sequel to the comedian's 1980s classic, which was a major hit for Amazon Prime earlier this year.
While storylines are being kept under wraps, according to Just Jared, the film is an "incisive examination of contemporary love and family dynamics, as well as how competing cultures, societal expectations, and generational inequalities shape and impact relationships," according to the source. Murphy and Hill will “find themselves on opposite sides of some of those divides” in the work that looks to target two generations simultaneously. Interestingly, Barris, who is making his directorial debut with the new movie, is already renowned as a screenwriter, having written the screenplay for Murphy's film Coming 2 America, the 2021 sequel to the latter's 1988 breakthrough hit.
Murphy returned to the big screen in 2019 with Dolemite Is My Name, and he also returned to Saturday Night Live after 35 years for an Emmy-winning encore. Earlier this year, the actor/comedian told NME that he took a hiatus after winning the Razzie Award for 'Worst Actor of the Decade' in 2010. Murphy, for his portrayal of director Rudy Ray Moore in Dolemite, Is My Name, was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy or Musical at the 2020 Golden Globes.
