Over the Hedge co-director
Karey Kirkpatrick has been hired to direct the
Eddie Murphy comedy
NowhereLand, which we
talked about way back in January. From
Variety...
Murphy portrays a successful financial executive who finds his career going down the drain and discovers the answers to his problems within his daughter's imaginary world.
It would seem that the movie is going to be a silly and outrageous Murphy comedy which has so blighted his career over the last ten years. It's a real shame because I thought this movie could have worked as a great serious drama. Don't be fooled by things such as
Norbit and his upcoming
Starship Dave. Murphy is a fine actor, but for some reason he rarely gives himself the opportunity to showcase it.
