Beautiful trailer for the Netflix documentary on Eddie Murphy BEING EDDIE

A great trailer has been released for the Eddie Murphy Netflix documentary, Being Eddie. The film enters Murphy’s home and sits down to hear the actor’s story, both personal and professional, citing his incredible accomplishments as a comedy pioneer.

The document, directed by Angus Wallincludes interviews with Murphy’s friends and fans, including Pete Davidson, Jerry Seinfeld, Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michele Che, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross AND Tracy Morgan.

The synopsis reads: “It goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teenage comedian shared the stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and he joined the cast of Saturday night live just out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor and a donkey and dominated every aspect of Hollywood he touched.

“Even fewer have been A-list celebrities for over four decades, and have never succumbed to his darker side. Murphy’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent and deep wariness puts him in a league of his own.

“For the first time ever, Murphy invites audiences into his home to revisit his extraordinary body of work, while revealing the dazzling interior life that has long driven – and grounded – this once-in-a-lifetime star.”

As an Eddie Murphy fan, this looks like a really fun watch. It’s a true trailblazer, a complete original, and a comedic gold mine for people who grew up watching it.
