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

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.

While Lizzy Caplan is exploring her more dramatic side on Showtime‘s Masters of Sex, Caplan will be doing her next comedy project with the trio who worked on the great cancer comedy 50/50, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and director Jonathan Levine.

It’s a comedy set at Christmas time, but there are no details as of yet if it will come to theaters during one Christmas or another in the not so distant future. Luckily, The Interview with Seth Rogen is coming this Christmas and we’ll have that to hold us over.

Jack Black/Mike White and Seth Rogen/Joseph Gordon-Levitt Reteaming Respectively on Film Projects

From School of Rock, Jack Black and writer Mike White are getting together again for HS reunion comedy D-Train and, from 50/50, Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and director Jonathan Levine are also coming together for another project a Christmas themed comedy, which will probably be a little grittier than your normal fare based off of 50/50.

Still, both projects from both “reteams” definitely sound enticing to us and, if you haven’t already, you should watch 50/50 and School of Rock. Familiarize yourself and enjoy two solid movies.
