Eddie Murphy only looking to do edgy stuff now, like a TV show about the son of Beverly Hills Cop
Taking full advantage of the Eddie Murphy comeback that is theoretically happening, Eddie Murphy sat down with Rolling Stone to declare that his days of starring in family movies are over, and not a decade too soon. “I don’t have any interest in that right now,” Murphy said by way of explaining that these days he’s content to just stay in his “beautiful house” that all those family movies paid for. “There's really no blueprint,” he said of his choosier career motivations, “but I'm trying to do some edgy stuff.” Edgy stuff like, for example, hosting the Oscars, plus pushing for another continuation of his Beverly Hills Cop franchise, which Murphy has since abandoned pursuing as a return to its R-rated feature film roots and instead begun prepping as a TV show about, um, family.
