Eddie Murphy: Human STARSHIP
I sense another failure...
The comic has the science fiction comedy in preproduction at 20th Century Fox, and Brian Robbins is set to direct.
It's clear that Eddie Murphy likes the idea of science fiction comedies, but they haven't usually worked for him. One need only look at his nearly career-ending turn in Pluto Nash. Nevertheless, he's going to boldly go once again. Daily Variety reports Murphy is set to star in Starship Dave, to be produced by Deep River Productions and Guy Walks Into a Bar, with Brian Robbins directing.
Robbins is just off the remake of Disney's The Shaggy Dog. Murphy and Robbins worked together on Norbit, which is still in the pipeline. Robbins was offered the script when Pete Segal had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. He's over at Warner Bros. now, working up a film revival of Get Smart.
But Back to Starship Dave: Murphy isn't just a Starship Captain in the movie, he IS Starship Dave. The comedy surrounds a group of tiny aliens who travel the universe within a human starship, seeking a way to save their own threatened world. Starship Dave will begin its journey in front of the cameras beginning in March.
