I love Eddie, have since about 1980. Had his stand-ups on cassette, listened them repeatedly in the car.
Man can be a comedic genius. But he's not Clouseau, I just don't see it.

Speech trainer: "Repeat after me. 'I would like to buy a hamburger.'"
Eddie Murphy: "Hercules! Hercules! Hercules! Eh eh eh eh eh!"

I am a big Eddie Murphy fan. I even like Pluto Nash (in a so bad it's good way).
I can't see this working.

Didn't they already remake The Pink Panther with Steve Martin? I'm so old the terrible remakes are getting terrible remakes.

Pluto Nash is awesome, nothing wrong with it. I don't understand the low score it has on iMDB etc.

It makes me sad that the Pink Panther is what globally shaped Peter Sellers profile. He was such a remarkable talent, yet so often gone to waste. If you’re thinking about rewatching a Clouseau, maybe better check out Being There, it’s his last and greatest movie.
“Being There” is as valid now as it was then. I liked the book and the movie.
Sadly the book is still copy-written, but copies are easily bought, in libraries or found .

wrote last edited by [email protected]Pretty sure Pink Panther is an exclusively white comedy. I'm sure Murphy can create a great version centred around his style, but I've always preferred efforts to make new content rather than reusing and drastically adjusting old content. He and co. should write a new script instead. You don't mold the foot to fit the shoe, and when movie producers do, it's a mutilated and often ugly result.

I can only imagine how this will end up like Dr. Doolittle and The Nutty Professor. You know how bad you have to be to make Jerry Lewis look good?
Steve Martin didn't even pull it off.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that the last Peter Sellers movie released was "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu".
Being There was brilliant, though.
