After 25 years in the business, this week’s Dreamgirls has seen Eddie Murphy pick up his first ever Oscar nomination. It’s certainly a tip-top performance, but don’t expect him to give up on his regular roles – next up, out on 9th March, is a return to a Nutty Professor-style, multiple character comedy outing in Norbit, where a mild-mannered man (Murphy), married to a monstrously obese woman (also Murphy) meets the woman of his dreams in the shape of Thandie Newton.
After that he’ll return as Donkey in the surefire smash-hit that is Shrek The Third, out 29th June, a role he will reprise alongside the other big-name voice stars Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas for the half-hour TV special Shrek the Halls, due to hit the small screen in the US this Christmas, and the UK in 2008.
He’ll then be teaming up with the modern Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, for an as-yet untitled comedy about a couple of regular Joes planning a robbery, for Rush Hour director Brett Ratner,before heading into space for the Sci-Fi comedy Starship Dave for Norbit director Brian Robbins. Then it’ll be back to earth for an as-yet untitled comedy take on Romeo and Juliet, before he heads into a fantasy world as a down-on-his luck executive who gets sucked into his daughter’s imaginary land for the comedy NowhereLand.
In other words, don’t expect him to be picking up any more Oscar nominations for the next couple of years, at least…
