“There’s only one Eddie Murphy. The laughter, the legacy, the life.” Netflix has revealed the main official trailer for another new celebrity biopic documentary – this one titled Being Eddie – a comprehensive look at Eddie Murphy’s life and career. After a few years out of the spotlight, Murphy has come back recently in the last few years, starring in a bunch of movies and series and coming back for Shrek 5 sometime soon. The documentary (out on Nov. 12) gathers comedy and Hollywood legends like Dave Chappelle, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jamie Foxx, Jerry Seinfeld, Reginald Hudlin and more to celebrate the Oscar-nominated actor and his nearly 50-year career that’s seen him break barriers, invent genres, and inspire generations of talent. For the first time ever, Eddie Murphy also invites the public into his home to revisit his breathtaking body of work, all the while revealing the dazzling interior life that has long driven — and grounded — this once-in-a-century star. With appearances by Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Jerry Bruckheimer, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Ruth Carter, & many more. Take a look below.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Angus Wall’s documentary film Being Eddie, direct from YouTube:
It goes without saying that there is only one Eddie Murphy. No other teen comedian shared a stage with Jerry Seinfeld at 17, and joined the cast of Saturday Night Live right out of high school. No actor has ever played a cop, a doctor, and a donkey — and dominated every facet of Hollywood he’s touched. Fewer still have been an A-list celebrity for over four decades and counting, and never succumbed to its darker side. Eddie’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent, deep-set circumspection puts him in a league of his own, and is on full display in Being Eddie. This documentary film is directed by two-time Oscar winner producer / editor filmmaker Angus Wall, making his feature directorial debut after a few other shorts previously. He won Oscars for Best Film Editing on Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo & The Social Network before getting into producing & directing. Produced by John Davis, John Fox, Charisse Hewitt-Webster, Terry Leonard, and Kent Kubena. Netflix will debut this new doc Being Eddie streaming on Netflix worldwide starting on November 12th, 2025 this fall. So who wants to watch this?
