Eddie Murphy: Trading places and talking to animals, redux?
By Steven Zeitchik
Eddie Murphy could be feeling fluffy.
The A-lister is attached to produce and could potentially star in “The Misadventures of Fluffy,” a new buddy comedy that’s been set up at Paramount.
Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly sold the pitch for the R-rated comedy and will write the script. The project is described as a road trip pic through New York featuring talking animals, and with an element of social comedy reminiscent of Murphy’s 1980’s hit “Trading Places.”
Insiders emphasize that while Murphy is formally attached to produce, he is not formally attached to star at this point.
Pitman and Cole-Kelly, repped by WME and Management 360, came to prominence with a project called “The Diversification of Noah Miller,” a race-themed story about a man who tries to bring cultural enlightenment to his son by befriending people of another race. Tyler Perry is attached to produce and potentially star in that project.
