This could be quite the dynamic duo!
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the new film from Kenya Barris has added Academy Award nominee Eddie Murphy to star opposite Academy Award nominee Jonah Hill in an upcoming comedy that Barris will direct. Murphy and Barris are old friends, as it was Barris who served as a writer on Murphy’s Coming 2 America. Barris’ new project is being set up at Netflix, which he and Hill co-wrote. Barris will also produce through Khalabo Ink Society, with Hill producing via Strong Baby. Kevin Misher of Misher Films is also joining the production effort.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, though The Hollywood Reporter says it’s to be presented as
“an incisive examination of modern love and family dynamics and how clashing cultures, societal expectations, and generational differences shape and affect relationships. Murphy and Hill will find themselves on opposite sides of some of those divides.”
