Eddie Murphy retired BEFORE 'Meet Dave'?
I’m sorry for all of you who were expecting an early review of Eddie Murphy’s new movie “Meet Dave” on Spill. We try so hard to stay on top of these things but it turns out we all missed the preview screening for it.
…BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ONE!
I won’t rehash for you the age old truth that worst sign for a film is when the studio tries to hide from the press. Undoubtedly, there’ll be some of you that’ll say, “Maybe they know they have a silly-funny movie that know regular people will really like and they don’t want a bunch of snotty critics to ruin it!”
Hmmn…Let’s see. Here’s Meet Dave in Eddie Murphy’s own words:
“Dave is actually a spaceship, and on the surface he looks like a regular person, but there's a crew of little people inside that are controlling his every move “It wasn't a piece of cake. Playing Dave was really hard because there is supposed to be nothing there. So trying to play this character where there is nothing there, and the person is a little bit off and there's somebody inside like controlling his every response — that was kind of difficult.”
“I just wanted to do something kind of different. I’ve never played a spaceship before.”
Um…I stand corrected. Sounds like a “real winner” to me, no question
From what I can gather the only preview there was of it in North America was at its world premiere in Los Angeles. If you wanted beat "the crowds” you would’ve had to have been invited to that “star-studded" event (man, I gotta give these quotations a rest, my sarcasm muscle is throbbing) where everybody important showed up to see it. Like sexy co-stars, Gabrielle Union and Elizabeth Banks.
Really, the only one who, like us, didn’t see the film was, um…
EDDIE MURPHY!!
His convenient excuse is that he was out of town filming “A Thousand Words” which is being shot far on location in… Los Angeles.
Wait! What the--???
Oooooh, Eddie, that sly dog. Nice way to bail outtta seeing his own movie- not that anyone can really blame him after Norbit, Pluto Nash, Daddy Care, etc.,etc., etc…
This comes just on the heels of his recent declaration to retire:
“I am planning to make movies until I am 50,” the 47-year-old star told TODAY’s Al Roker. “That's two years and eight months. Then I am going back to the stage.”
“I’d love to be on a Steven Spielberg set, Martin Scorsese set. But like I said, when I am 50, I'll be making movies for 30 years. That’s 30 years and almost 40 pictures, that's enough,” he said.
“Really?” Roker said, unable to quite believe a man whose movies have grossed more than $3 billion could really give it up. “You could walk away from doing this?”
“Absolutely,” Murphy said, dead serious. “Without question.”
Coincidentally, I also considered retiring just to get out of having to see Meet Dave.
Eddie Murphy might be “So craaaaazzzy”, but he ain’t stupid.

With the way shrek 3 ,daddy daycare and norbit were I think getting out of show business is a good move for Eddie.

Edieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
SERIOUSLY should consider crossing over to the comedy-drama format...like Tom Hanks did. Eddie was "GREAT" in Dreamgirls....I actually felt that he pulled off the serious role there. This simple multiple -Eddie role in every movie is burned out.

I'm with Moxie on this. EM starred Coming To America. That pretty much redeems him for at least a few of the bad films he has done recently.

Also I've heard that this movie is actually not bad. But we'll have to wait n' see.

Does that mean a another 'Delerious' or 'Raw'?
Nice. Just don't suck.

I think Yall are a bunch of haters Eddie has done some amazing movies. Yes he has also done plenty of terrible ones, but that does change that the man has talent. I am excited for his return to the stage. I hope that by stage he means stand up and not theatre.

I saw the trailer back in May...kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe he can "retire" like Cher then come back and do a Vegas show, acting out the highlights of his film career...gee, gonna be a short show, huh?

It's very plain to see that Eddie knows these last movies he has done were crap. But I understand why he did them. These are his retirement checks, just shell out several sub-par comedies so he can do what he wants later.

the funniest part of that: I’d love to be on a Steven Spielberg set, Martin Scorsese set.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! In your DREAMS! This guy has not had a good movie, or at least been good in one, since Bowfinger (I don't care what anyone says, Dreamgirls sucked, and Shrek's success I credit the writers)
