Arsenio Hall Officially Signs On To "Coming To America 2" Cast

It's been known for quite some time that Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall were set to reunite in Paramount's Coming To America 2. Nothing was set in stone though, much like the years-long rumors of Bad Boys 3 coming together. It looks like things worked out for both franchises though. As reported by DeadlineArsenio Hall has officially signed on to reprise his role as Semmi in the sequel to one of Eddie Murphy's most iconic films. At the time of Coming To America's release, 1988, there were little to no original powerful and rich black figures being portrayed in films. Murphy is looking to recreate that feeling in today's post-Black Panther climate, where audiences are pushing for more diversity. 

Deadline reports that Murphy will return as the spoiled prince of Zamunda, Prince Akeem. Akeem becomes bored with potential marriage partners that are complacent and travels to Queens, New York to find a strong-willed woman to wed. In the sequel, Akeem learns about a long-lost son and must return to America to meet the potential heir to the throne of Zamunda. Craig Brewer is directing while Black-ish creator Kenya Barris is writing the screenplay. A theatrical release is slated for December 2020.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
