Murphy Writing Nutty Professor 3

Eddie Murphy is talking about a possible sequel to The Nutty Professor franchise, is anyone surpised.

Murphy played almost every character him self, in a large overwheight family inlcuding the main Character Professor Klump.

“You know what, there might be another ‘Nutty Professor,’” Eddie Murphy told Access Hollywood at the LA premiere of “Shrek Forever After” on Sunday, breaking the news of the possible sequel’s latest development. “We kind of wrote something that might be kind of funny.”

Whether or not the film hits theaters, he added, depends on just how funny it is.

“If the studios want to do it, we’ll do it,”

“If you don’t see it, the studio was like, ‘This isn’t funny.’”

News of a possible sequel was first reported in 2008, when The Hollywood Reporter noted that such a project was in the early stages of development.

1996’s “The Nutty Professor,” a remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis classic of the same name, and the 2000 sequel “The Nutty Professor II: The Kumps,” were both a hit with viewers, each earning 273 million and 161 million respectively.

I think people are looking forward to this about as much as anyone wants to see Big Mommas House 3. The project I'd like to see Murphy re-visiting is Beverly Hills Cop, which is said to be in development with Brett Ratner set to direct.
