Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

The Nutty Professor 3
11/18/08 - Universal and Imagine Entertainment are in the early stages of developing a new Nutty Professor movie, in what would be the third installment of the remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis vehicle, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Although it has been eight years since the last Nutty came out, executives are interested in a new version that would follow The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps.  Like The Nutty Professor, Klumps focused on Sherman Klump, a portly, gentle scientist (Eddie Murphy) who turns obnoxious after trying one of his own cures. In the second film, which expanded to include more of Klump's family members (many also played by Murphy), it was eternal youth that Klump sought.  Murphy is not attached to a new Nutty; his involvement would be contingent on the writer, director and other elements.
