*Andrew NDB* · 07-25-2018, 12:05 PM

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

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 07-25-2018, 03:49 PM

I hope there's more barber shop scenes.

*AT-Man* · 07-25-2018, 04:30 PM

I'm cautiously optimistic.

*sdp* · 07-25-2018, 05:20 PM

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

Egon1982 · 01-23-2019, 01:02 PM

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.

This is one of those movies I hope is really good but knowing Eddie Murphy's track record since the 2000's is probably going to be absolutely terrible.

Think of what Jim Carrey's Dumb and Dumber 2 was to the first. Whenever they finally make a long awaited sequel to an old 80's and 90's movie after like 20 years, it turns out to be bad. I can only think of a small handful of exceptions.
