Animal Magnetism

After a family-friendly wipeout with this spring's Imagine That, Eddie Murphy may be returning to his R-rated roots (with some odd friends in tow). THR reports that the erstwhile Dr. Doolittle is attached to produce and potentially star in The Misadventures of Fluffy, an NYC road trip comedy with talking, presumably foul-mouthed animals. The movie also contains "an element of social comedy reminiscent of Murphy's 1980's hit Trading Places," says THR. Uh, sure! We were thinking more like Conker's Bad Fur Day. [THR]
