Great Trailer For the Eddie Murphy Netflix Documentary BEING EDDIE
A great trailer has been released for the Eddie Murphy Netflix documentary, Being Eddie. The film goes into Murphy’s home and sits down to hear the actor’s history, both personal and professional, citing his incredible milestones as a comedic trailblazer.
The doc, which is directed by Angus Wall, includes interviews with friends and fans of Murphy’s, including Pete Davidson, Jerry Seinfeld, Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross and Tracy Morgan.
The synopsis reads: “It goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor and a donkey — and dominated every facet of Hollywood he’s touched.
“Fewer still have been an A-list celebrity for over four decades, and never succumbed to its darker side. Murphy’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent and deep-set circumspection puts him in a league of his own.
“For the first time ever, Murphy invites the public into his home to revisit his breathtaking body of work, all the while revealing the dazzling interior life that has long driven — and grounded — this once-in-a-century star.”
As a fan of Eddie Murphy, this looks like a really fun watch. He is such a trailblazer, a complete original, and a comedic goldmine for people who grew up watching him.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Being Eddie when it hits Netflix on November 12th.
