  • Eddie Murphy Reprises His Role As the Ever-Charming Prince Akeem and Leads an All-Star Cast for the Much-Anticipated Sequel, COMING 2 AMERICA
    COMING 2 AMERICA - An American Marvel! Eddie Murphy reprises his role as the ever-charming Prince Akeem and leads an all-star cast for the much-anticipated sequel, COMING 2 AMERICA. Three decades and three beautiful daughters later, Akeem prepares to take over the reigns of his homeland of Zamunda. As antiquated gender roles are being challenged within his home, he is also faced with a new dilemma on the outside. While tradition has always required a male heir to take the throne, Akeem feels torn between following custom and creating change. While considering his eldest daughter, Meeka, who is the strongest choice, his rival, General Izzi, is plotting a union of dynasties with his son, Idi, as Meeka’s groom. Meanwhile, an ailing King Joffer delivers the shocking news that Akeem has a long-lost son, Lavelle, in Queens. After an unexpected turn of events, Akeem, now the King of Zamunda, along with his trusted confidante, Semmi, return to New York to tend to this unfinished royal family business. Upon finding Lavelle, Akeem convinces him to travel to Zamunda in order to learn the customs of royal life in preparation for becoming the heir to the throne. While Akeem smooths tensions with his wife and three daughters, General Izzi decides that his daughter, Bopoto, will become Lavelle’s wife. All the while, Lavelle is falling in love with his royal barber, Mirembe, who has dreams of owning her own barbershop. Arsenio Hall returns as Semmi, alongside James Earl Jones as King Jaffe Joffer, Shari Headley as Lisa, John Amos as Cleo McDowell, Louie Anderson as Maurice and the legendary barbershop crew who sparked the laughs in 1988 for COMING TO AMERICA.

  • There's a Lot of Heart and Soul to Coming 2 America
    There’s a lot of heart and soul to Coming 2 America By : Editor Published On : 2 Mar, 2021 09:49 AM IST INVC NEWS Los Angeles , Starring the comedy king Eddie Murphy, Coming To America (1988), was one of the greatest hits back in the day and emerged into a cult classic. More than three decades later, the film is still loved by many and continues to have a special place in the hearts of all those who love watching a film with a heavy dose of humour. The film, which catapulted Eddie into being one of the greatest comedians the world has ever seen, is back with its sequel, titled Coming 2 America. Directed by Craig Brewer, Coming 2 America will premiere globally on March 5th 2021 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories. Talking about one of the most anticipated comedies of the year, director Craig Brewer said, “The real benefit of making a sequel to a classic like Coming To America more than 30 years later is that you get into the territory of your characters having lived lives.” Craig saw the original film, his grandmother’s favorite, in theaters as a teenager. On what people might expect from the sequel, he continued, “With Akeem (Eddie Murphy), he’s watching his kids grow up and have their own opinions and also, he now carries the weight of being the king of his own castle. I knew those were interesting elements that we could bring to the story, along with the laughter. What might surprise many people is that there’s a lot of heart and soul to the movie.” Set in the lush and royal country of Zamunda, newly-crowned King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his trusted confidante Semmi (Arsenio Hall) embark on an all-new hilarious adventure that has them traversing the globe from their great African nation to the borough of Queens, New York – where it all began.
