Coming to America Sequel That Will Be Written by Kenya Barris and Directed by Jonathan Levine Moving Forward at Paramount Pictures

Remakes/reboots/sequels/etc. are still the order of the day it would seem.

One can only hope the talents of Barris and Levine can make this Coming to America sequel live up to the nostalgia of the original Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall blockbuster 30 years later and also be something that can stand on its own comedic merits.

No word on who will be attached to star, but before you start imagining who might be a good pairing, the time period of the sequel, either picking up right where they left off in 80s/90s or, more likely, in modern day 2018 has yet to be announced. 

For our money, we’d like maybe see Baron Vaughn involved somewhere in this.
