Can’t get enough Eddie Murphy after watching his recent appearance on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee? You’re in luck because Eddie Murphy is coming back in the fall, baby. This time around Murphy is suiting up as the multi-talented Rudy Ray Moore–a real-life legend who was best known as the uniquely articulate pimp Dolemite from his films in the 70s–for the upcoming feature Dolemite Is My Name. There’s kung-fu and explosions and sex and general absurdity all wrapped around a tale about a man trying to make his mark on the world. Netflix describes it as “Heartfelt, Raunchy, Irreverent” which is pretty much everything we want in a film based on a true story. Murphy is joined on screen by an absurd list of other stars–Wesley Snipes. Keegan-Michael Key. Chris Rock. Craig Robinson. Tituss Burgess. Mike Epps. T.I. Luenell. Dolemite Is My Name will hit Netflix and select theaters in the fall.
