Die-hard Eddie Murphy fans are about to have a ball with this one. <\/p>\n
Netflix<\/a> is celebrating the star\u2019s legacy by announc<\/a>ing<\/a> Tuesday<\/a> that \u201cBeing Eddie,\u201d an upcoming documentary on the iconic comedian and actor, is making its way to the streaming platform. <\/p>\n The new movie will be available on Nov. 12. <\/p>\n The documentary chronicles the 64-year-old\u2019s nearly 50-year career, beginning with his start on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d to hit movies including \u201cBeverly Hills Cop,\u201d \u201cComing to America\u201d and \u201cShrek.\u201d Set to appear on the small screen are a multitude of his famous friends as the film is to take the audience into Murphy\u2019s home for candid conversations. <\/p>\n At the helm of the project is two-time Oscar winner Angus Wall. <\/p>\n \u201cEddie\u2019s somebody that he feels he\u2019s known who he is from the beginning,\u201d director Angus Wall tells USA Today<\/a> for an exclusive first look at the documentary. \u201cHe\u2019s been on a path of destiny since he was a kid. He is an artist where he can express himself through many different ways, not just through comedy or acting, but through music and all these different things.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just got an incredibly flexible mind and spirit. His openness was really refreshing and kind of surprising.\u201d<\/p>\n The documentary\u2019s official synopsis notes, \u201cIt goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor, and a donkey \u2014 and dominated every facet of Hollywood he\u2019s touched. Fewer still have been an A-list celebrity for over four decades, and never succumbed to its darker side.\u201d<\/p>\n Wall began working on the movie in 2019, when he was given \u201cunprecedented access\u201d behind the scenes of \u201cThe Nutty Professor\u201d star\u2019s hosting gig on \u201cSNL.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe filmed in (Lorne Michaels\u2019) office, which nobody\u2019s ever done and nobody may ever do again,\u201d the filmmaker told USA Today. <\/p>\n When COVID-19 happened the next year, Wall arranged to have cameras set up in Murphy\u2019s house during lockdown, where the two had about 10 \u201copen and vulnerable\u201d four-hour chats on a variety of topics. <\/p>\n \u201cTo me, the movie feels like those conversations; it feels like hanging out with him,\u201d Wall shared. \u201cHe is exactly who he is in all situations. That said, he can become somebody else easier than anybody I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cEddie is such an icon and he\u2019s such a legend, but he\u2019s also one of the world\u2019s most interesting people. He\u2019s just such a unicorn of a human being,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
