"Coming 2 America"



I've been following the crap out of this. It appears to be happening now.



Announced:
https://movieweb.com/coming-2-americ...ard-paramount/

Last month, screenwriters mention it involves Akeem looking for his son in America:

Please don't cast Kevin Hart...

They should have done a sequel to this years ago.

I hope Eddie Murphy plays all the other characters like he did in the 1st one. And I hope they also bring back Arsenio Hall.

Maybe they can get this out before James Earl Jones passes away.

Haven't seen the movie in forever, it's awesome but does it really need a sequel?

I hope the sequel is not a retread of the first one. But rather the complete opposite. Where the Son goes to Africa with his Father. and his reaction to being in a foreign country.

Yeah it would be like the 1st one. But in reverse.

That's definitely the biggest concern... that this could turn out to be a requel.

I'm sure this will come out right after Beverly Hills Cop 4 and Triplets.

Whatever uncertainties may have surrounded this sequel... the only absolute certainty after "Black Panther"'s success is this movie's reality.

And I can't wait. I hope it has the same teeth.

... This has Anchorman 2 written all over it. I love the original Coming to America. I just don't think the premise will work at all anymore.

That said, if it works and I'm wrong then it's still a win-win. God knows we need some decent comedy movies. The past couple of years have been god awful when it comes to comedy movies.

Eddie Murphy played a couple of characters in the 1st movie. So hopefully it will be the same for this. Remember those scenes that took place in a Barbershop? He played some of the characters in those scenes. Even Arsenio Hall played one of them.

No need, the original is fine without a sequel which feels unwanted.

I always enjoyed the original since i saw it in theaters as a kid.
