I know he has like 400 illegitimate children but surely he made enough money during his peak years to not need to do this.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
It really is odd because he still has enormous charisma, is well-liked, and looks great. I would genuinely watch a movie just for Murphy if it didn't look like poo poo.

Hold on, lemme put it through the Studio Executive Remake-O-Matic.

The role of Axel Foley will now be played by Pete Davidson.
Serge will be played by Awkwafina.
And Judge Reinhold will be replaced with Louis C.K.? Ah geez, this thing is acting up again. Unless it thinks enough time has passed maybe...?

Yeah, honestly, Eddie Murphy's been a "lovely family comedy guy" for decades now. The more serious turns that he did like the Rudy Ray Moore film and Dreamgirls are merely blips in an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory.

He's just another one of those lads that is proving Sick Boy's theory was correct.

A lot of people thought that Dolemite Is My Name was supposed to mark his big comeback and then he followed that with Coming 2 America.

Wesley Snipes is a good actor. It’s just that he’s mad as a bag of hats and a SovCit fuckwit.

People tend to forget that action movies is a relatively minor part of his filmography. He has mainly acted in dramas and comedies.

Donkey represents all of Murphy’s worst habits. The family films were bad enough, it was that yelling “I’m Eddie Murphy!” performance that really made it all so tiresome.

In the original solo Blade comic he is arrested for murder by Scotland Yard after he slays a vampire and they have to let him go because it turns out the victim had been dead for six months beforehand making it not technically murder but at worst desecration of a corpse.

Taxes work the same way.

It is apparently a feature length adaptation of one of the fake trailers from Grindhouse and Eli Roth left Borderlands to do this

I would say he made a bad decision, but the last I heard of that Borderlands movie one of the producers or writers asked the studio to take his name off of the movie and give him whatever the modern equivalent of an Alan Smithee credit is now

Honestly, yeah, go to the safe slasher movie that's probably gonna make a lot of money even if it's bad. Do your Eli Roth thing.

It was Craig Mazin who wrote the original screenplay so yeah, that doesn't bode well.
