Movie star, Eddie Murphy ruled the eighties box-office with such hits as, "48 Hrs", "Trading Places" and of course, "Beverly Hills Cop". Then his career hit few speed bumps in the early to mid nineties until the former potty mouth comic made a family friendly comeback which started in 1996 with,"The Nutty Professor" and continued with "Dr. Doolittle" and "Daddy Day Care" films that saved his career along with the successful Shrek franchise and culminating with an Oscar nomination for his soul singer role in 2006's, "Dreamgirls".
But, the last two years have not been so kind for Eddie as 2008's, "Meet Dave" and the return to familiar family friendly territory with this past summer's flick, "Imagine That" seemed to be in and out of the theaters in 48 Hrs!
But, don't count Eddie out yet, all he needs is the right showcase for his ample talents to shine and his placement on the A-List will be solid once again!
Eddie Murphy looking forward to the guaranteed hit of the new Shrek film, "Shrek Forever After" to be released in 2010!
