Just read in Deadline that Eddie Murphy is set to reunite with Craig Brewer, who directed Murphy in the upcoming Rudy Ray Moore biopic Dolemite is My Name, for the sequel to Coming to America. Paramount Pictures is set to offer Brewer the directing gig.
The original script by the writers of the original film is being redone by black-ish creator Kenya Barris, who will also serve as exec. producer with Eddie Murphy producing.
The film is to have Akeem, Prince of Zamunda, learning he has a long lost son, forcing him to go back to America to find the new heir apparent. Murphy is hoping to bring back Arsenio Hall, Shari Headley, John Amos and James Earl Jones for the sequel.
