"Coming 2 America"

*Andrew NDB* · 07-25-2018, 12:05 PM

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

Announced:

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?

*TigerClaw* · 07-25-2018, 06:12 PM

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.

*Powder* · 07-26-2018, 02:27 AM

Could be cool. I'll be looking out for it.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-11-2019, 03:41 PM

It's got a director.

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

*Andrew NDB* · 01-12-2019, 02:13 AM

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.

*TigerClaw* · 01-13-2019, 09:23 AM

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.

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 02-12-2019, 05:08 PM

It gets a release date:

Wow, it must be filming! Sweet.
