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)...

Just to piss off people of normal intelligence?
-
Does anyone really want to see more fat people farting?
-
Even mention the words "nutty "professor" and "three" in the same sentence.
-
I choose to forget that whole Klumps thing ever happened.
-
Younger cast, more CGI. Right?
-
I'm buying stock in a foam latex supplier. Baker's gonna need a ton.
-
had the fantastic fake trailer for "the fatties" we get a possible sequal to the real fatties film. Christ.
-
hasn't been funny since 1987
-
serve us more. It's just like McDonalds. I admit I saw Norbit, but only because I had free passes for a theater that was closing, and that was all that was left. It had some funny moments, but no I would not have paid cash.
-
He should get Martin to write Bowfinger 2. That film is fucking genius, and he is genius in it. And its the only decent flick he's done since... fuck, i just looked at his wikipedia page... Bowfinger is the only great film he's done since Coming To America in 1988! How the fuck does this guy still have a career?
-
free tickets is not an excuse. Shame on you. ;)
-
How you doing Eddie Murphy???
-
Cuba Gooding Jr. plays his entire farting family?
-
MAKE IT HAPPEN

MAKE IT HAPPEN

...Bowfinger is sheer genius.

"I'm the dude, playing the dude, being played by the dude, who's played by Eddie Murphy...in a fat suit."It's kinda sad actually. If you remember the first one, Eddie portrayed a rather touching character. Covered in latex he had a lot to convey with his eyes and body language.

This is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-------!!!!!

Y'all need a fucking trip through the Boondocks archives.
Rereading the strip sheds quite a bit of light on who should be despised and why. -
Eddie, Ice Cube, Ice T all been punked.

I blame all of you Talkbackers who've actually seen one
by jackrabbitslim
Having not seen any of the Nutty Professor films - I shift the blame to all of those who have seen it. Liked it - loathed it - you still added to the potential demand. Now - lick it up.

Didn't Lewis at one time consider an actual sequal in the 80's

Cat hater.

I never saw the sequels. I didn't have a free pass I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for : )
-
Lick sack
-
"In France..." [loud flatulence] "...they consider it a compliment!"
-
I'd love to see them do a Behind The Scenes on that film within a film from the end. That ridiculous Ninja sequence with Murphy and Martin flying through the air would be worth admission alone.
-
When the eff are they going to resurrect those Francis the Talking Mule movies?! I'm a taxpayer, and I demand it.

Trends get old and corny, fashions become fopar.. Fuck I can't belive I said that shit. Black Trends hit themselves in the face harder than the rest. Parachute pants, Ebonics, Z Cuts, Logo cuts in hair, Eraser Head, Bling, Gold in mouth, Fros, Gangster Rap. Todays Musical talking about nothing but material, rides, money, pussy and weed. Fuck I see motherfuckers wearing snow boots with fur on it and shit, fucking super pocket vests that look like flack jackets and shit, Hats floating on top of the head. Black culture and trends try too hard to be edgy and the shit- shits on itself. It may take 10 years or so for everyone to agree on it being real fucking dumb and ridiculous. Lets see Cube wear the handkerchief around his neck or head now, or Eddie wear that duck tape purple whatever the fuck it is outfit.. with that dumb ass line running through his head.
-
so i could pay eddie back for all he's given the world. by shitting in an envelope and mailing it to him...
-
I'll go to hell I know.
-
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
-
What happens when you make a fat suit out of flubber? Find out, Christmas 2009!
-
why are the suits betting that shitty sequels and remakes will bring in our depression dollar? people want to spend money on new and exciting ideas. crap like a third nutty professor- this late in the game, will just be big budget trash. each one makes less than the last...when will they learn they are buring all of their bridges?
-
some of the greatest movies of the golden age of cinema came out of the depression. it was like hollywood wanted to cheer up america, and many movie houses played stuff for free just to get people off the streets.
now in our bad economy, we are going to be force fed recycled box office pablum because it's easy money and most of us won't even know any better. total 180 reversal from the golden age. -
This is why he turned it down. He was just waiting for another fat suit role.
-
I'm still waiting on another Fattys sequel with Jack Black.
-
our economy is in the crapper. Wasteful spending.
-
That kid form Scary SPice must be expensive
-
At least the first one was good...ish
-
Why O' Lord Why?
does he really need the $$$ that friggen bad? -
It was proven. Seriously, everyone has decline. Thats why there is such a thing called "in their prime". Sometimes they can still turn out a good un (Eddie did it in Dreamgirls). They been there done that, now they just try to adpat with the times with varying success like Stallone, Harrison, Martin etc. its called getting older. Oh and Jerry lewis fucking rules as the Nutty professor.
-
Jack Black's characters rip-off of The Klumps, The Fatties? Did you just sit there confused or did you laugh along with the rest of the audience so you didn't look stupid?
-
Didn't he get a co-producer credit?
-
I think tropic thunder said it all really.
-
I WISH I WAS BLIND!
-
-belch-
-fat guy eats cake then breaks chair he's sitting on-
"Universal sir, the script is done" -
If someone is willing to pay him millions to put on a fat suit again...and NORBIT made him cry all the way to the bank...
-
Yeah Scary Spice is all woman, so I certainly appreciate how Murphy might have wanted to jump in there. Denying paternity isn't cool however - the child might not want for money but it'll certainly want for a Father. Anyway, back to movies - anyone seen HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE? The funniest Eddie Murphy movie to not actually feature Eddie Murphy. If you've seen it you'll know what im getting at - if you haven't then give it a rent, you won't regret it!
-
I second that recommendation. Brilliant satire from Robert Townsend and, although a bit dated, still relevant and hilarious! (Loved how the producers were looking for something "Murphy-esque")
-
Yes, not only comedies and cartoons thrived during the depression but musicals did as well.
There was a need to transport people from the dire straights of their lives to another happier place.

The bill wending its way through Congress would provide tax breaks worth more than $470 million over the next decade for movie and TV producers that shoot in the U.S.
-
you heard it here first!
-
Now when can we get the follow up to "Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas."
-
Not excited about this at all.
-
Damn. I'm funny.
-
As sad as it is that we won't get anything out of the guy on the order of BEVERLY HILLS COP or even a movie like LIFE from him anymore, I am coming to view Eddie Murphy's current output as its own kind of genius. He chooses what must be the absolute worst scripts/concepts floating around Hollywood - and then plays those roles to the hilt, always giving 110%. There's almost an Ed Wood kind of naivety to the badness going on here, and I actually find myself genuinely laughing at it. Because, while I know that this is the worst that comedy can possibly get, it's totally unselfconscious about it. I watched NORBIT on cable with my brother a couple months ago, and we were losing our fucking minds over it. Granted, I'd been up for about 22 hours at that point, but I haven't laughed that hard since I saw I AM SAM. It succeeded as comedy despite itself. Eddie Murphy is the Robert De Niro of stupid comedies.

The Nutty Professor 3 vs the Fatties. Jack Black in the same film with Eddie Murphy. I mean, the trailer for the Fatties was funny because everyone knew it was so over the top. yet it was a fucking hilarious trailer. I'm drunk, having had a few too many red bull and vodkas, here in Bangkok, after having my cock sucked earlier tonight.That being said, I think they should simply Go there. Eddie and Jack, together again, for the first time. fat people and flatulence. A movie about farting.See, the thing is, farts are presented as side humor. The odd "oops" moment that drops unexpectedly into any scene. There's something to be said about that. But Why not present a fart as the main course? Even a Queeve as an Hour' Dourvre? Although that may be a bit far afield. But a movie about farts...Everyone played by either Jack Black or Eddie? It would be a play on the fake trailer and Eddies crappy movies and it would probably rock. After a movie about a bunch of talking Chihuahuas that turned out surprisingly well, I can hold my breath for a well done movie about flatulence. Oscars all around!

...anything that would make me deserving of another nutty professor film.
-
Red Bulls and Vodka, and blowjobs in Bangkok?
For real? Damn. I no longer deserve this handle....you do. I can email you the password information. -
May I suggest KLUMPS ON VACATION?
-
At this point, Ratner may be too good for Murphy. OH Eddie, how you have fallen.
-
Are there any homosexuals here? No? Goooood. Let's talk about them. Stuff you just can't say today without someone getting offended. Political correctness has killed our humor. I'm Irish, here's one for you. What's the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral? One less drunk.
-
How did this ever catch on? Why is it part of The Nutty Professor? The only thing this 'franchise' needs is to be left to die, or if they MUST make another, make a complete reboot based on the original, without eddie murphy or anyone like him.

Didn't he say some time ago he would retire and do stand up agai
by ricarleite
-
Fuck why not, right? I think Hollywood should be forced to go sequel/remake free for one year, force these lazy fucks to come up with some new material. Oh, well, I can dream right . . .
-
After BHC3 bombed he came back w/ NP which was a hit, so he just kept going with that template...and Eddie Murphy as we knew him died. I guess its either this or Dr. Doolittle 10, Norbit 2, or Pluto Nash 2D!

at the Oscar ceremony when he was denied an award for DREAMGIRLS. Another career handicap. I'm speculating that his next choice of scripts will be THE STEVE URKEL STORY. Prepare for bellylaughs when Eddie, as Urkel, lierally bumps into Jaleel White (cameo). Whatever happend to Mr. White? He must be working conventions, amusements parks or whatever.
-
...supposedly an animated version that was to feature Jerry Lewis?
-
"Eddie Murphy is the Robert De Niro of stupid comedies." Fucking Robert De Niro is the Robert De Niro of stupid comedies.
-
not funny. none of eddie murphys movies are worth seeing. awful. how many fat suit moveis can you make? didnt that norbit movie have a fat suit too? fuck him. fuck nutty professor. i WOULD however pay to see Megatron destroy the klumps... micheal bay? screw him too. (disregarding eddie murphys standup and snl work)
-
I thought Eddie was retiring from films? How could a star with that much clout make that much garbage?
Wasted years. -
period
-
With them, it would really be a nutty professor - if you know what I mean, Beavis, hur hur hur.
-
Terrible.
-
It's CG Animated & has Jerry Lewis, as Julius Kelp, now a Grandfather, & Drake Bell, playing his Grandson!!

Kick this shit to the curb, and go back to some stand-up. Then make another concert movie. Then Bowfinger 2. Then BHC4. Then another herm hooker.

And have a Coke a and a smile!

I read something about a singer/writer named Micheal Andrews doing a version of Nutty Professor. Andrews is an incredible crooner. The "nerd opposite" character would be ultra cool without the meanness. And he could really sing.
