TMZ: EMURP writing Coming to America 2 Antibody Mar 17, 11:08

James Earl Jones is still around so presumably the prince hasn't ascended to the throne yet slipping jimmy Mar 17, 11:11

I'd imagine Akeem is now the King of Zamunda and returns to America to deal with his crown prince son. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 11:18

ugh, i hope not {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 17, 11:20

Or a crown princess, that has more possibilities. {nm} Antibody Mar 17, 11:36

that's just remaking the first one with switched roles. lazy. {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 17, 11:42

EMUPH sends his spoiled tween daughter to America to work at McDowell's to learn humility and hard work... RazorHawk Mar 17, 12:00

It's not "lazy" to reuse a concept that worked. It makes good sense. Unthinking criticism for the sake of making noise is lazy {nm} ladybegood Mar 17, 12:01

*makes hand-wavy motion* How many failed, unnecessary sequels have we had the past few years? {nm} RogerMore Mar 17, 12:10

Everything in the arts is about the reworking of ideas. Or has that understanding missed? Posterity then only recognises a few standouts {nm} ladybegood Mar 17, 13:18

Re-working in a creative way gets recognised, re-working in a lazy way disappoints. There's plenty of evidence of the latter over the past RogerMore Mar 17, 13:29

Reworking in EVERY way is just part of the natural process of creativity. Sometime's good but mostly mediocre, of course. {nm} ladybegood Mar 17, 15:39

and he'll *still* find a way to price himself out of it. {nm} CSBD Mar 17, 11:11

Wonder if Art Buchwald's estate would get a cut. {nm} notfabio Mar 17, 11:20

good question. not sure how the WGA would weigh the court decision in terms of credits {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 17, 11:21

Eddie could use this opportunity to comment/make cracks about coming to America these days =P {nm} tealfan Mar 17, 12:02

this is the smarter take. kingdom goes broke and the royal family is forced to actually live like real American immigrants {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 17, 12:13

For the love of god please let this actually happen. {nm} MiyazakiFan Mar 17, 15:22

Why??? Is there really a need to do a sequel? Eddie needs to come up with a 'new' project, rather than revamping some past flix. :( {nm} BelizeIt Mar 18, 01:21
