    I love Eddie, have since about 1980. Had his stand-ups on cassette, listened them repeatedly in the car.

    Man can be a comedic genius. But he’s not Clouseau, I just don’t see it.

      I am a big Eddie Murphy fan. I even like Pluto Nash (in a so bad it’s good way).

      I can’t see this working.

        Pluto Nash is awesome, nothing wrong with it. I don’t understand the low score it has on iMDB etc.

      Pretty sure Pink Panther is an exclusively white comedy. I’m sure Murphy can create a great version centred around his style, but I’ve always preferred efforts to make new content rather than reusing and drastically adjusting old content. He and co. should write a new script instead. You don’t mold the foot to fit the shoe, and when movie producers do, it’s a mutilated and often ugly result.

        They have had black people in France for hundreds of years. There could absolutely be a black goofy french detective, just hire someone from France to do it.
