Eddie Murphy is attached to star in Columbia Pictures' big-screen adaptation of Fantasy Island, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Murphy will play multiple roles in the film, which is based on the popular TV series that ran from 1978-84 and starred Ricardo Montalban.
Described as a family-oriented comedy, the project will be written by Jay Scherick and David Ronn, who most recently teamed with Murphy on Norbit.
So basically it will take a decent show and bastardize it, much like Charlie's Angels. Of course, this is also the movie that Eddie Murphy has made for the last ten years save Dreamgirls and Shrek. I've heard of mailing it in but jesus christ on a pogo stick, I mean Rob Schiender stretches more acting in an Adam Sandler movie then Eddie Murphy does now a days. Then again we shouldn't be shocked, 48 Hours and Beverly Hills Cop were more or less the same character as well. Hell, last I checked Khan Noonian Singh was still alive...just like you left me...buried alive!!!While you're at it, take a look at these Star Trek Inspirational Posters
