Finally, Hollywood Gives Us What We Deserve!! Another NUTTY PROFESSOR Movie Is Warming Up!!


Merrick here...


Strangely, until I came across this information, I'd completely forgotten a second Eddie Murphy NUTTY PROFESSOR movie was ever made.

But it was (subtitled MEET THE KLUMPS), which I remember now...and I remember seeing it...and now I'm all kindsa disoriented...even more so than usual.

While Murphy has yet to commit to the project, a third installment of the franchise is evidently being mulled by Universal & Imagine.

The sequel to 1996's "The Nutty Professor," "Klumps" had a less corpulent boxoffice gross than its predecessor, earning $162 million worldwide vs. the $270 million of the first installment.

Still, the franchise has proved profitable, and a third installment could prove attractive for Universal, which like other studios has been relying increasingly on established brands

...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

Apparently this project is in the earliest stages of development, so there's tons of room for something to go wrong in the development process. Let's keep our fingers crossed (interpret this in any way you like)...
