With Murphy and the original movie’s writers reportedly on-board, one wonders if Paramount will now contact Coming to America director John Landis about joining up.
In March, word initially came down that Murphy might be involved in writing a Coming to America sequel himself (he wrote the story for the original film), and the rumor was further stoked when Murphy’s Twitter account posted an apparent Coming to America 2 teaser.
However, Murphy’s Twitter account quickly vanished, a development that could be seen as confirmation that something was indeed going on.
