Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy (Dreamgirls) will star alongside fellow Oscar nominee Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street) in an upcoming Netflix comedy feature, according to a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter.
The unnamed comedy’s script being written by both Jonah Hill and Barris, with Barris’ Khalabo Ink Society production banner producing the film.
Barris and Murphy previously worked on 2021’s Coming 2 America, with Barris credited as a writer on the sequel.
No other cast members have been announced as of yet, but the draw of Murphy and Hill is likely something Netflix is hoping will draw tons of interest.
