There’s only one Eddie Murphy.
The laughter, the legacy, the life.

Today we get a new Trailer for BEING EDDIE, a Documentary about Comedy legend Eddie Murphy.

Release Date: November 12, 2025

Format: Documentary Film

Director: Angus Wall

Featured Talent: Arsenio Hall, Brian Grazer, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jerry Seinfeld, John Landis, Kenan Thompson, Kevin Hart, Michael Che, Pete Davidson, Ruth Carter, Tracee Ellis Ross, Tracy Morgan and more.

Synopsis: 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 never succumbed to its darker side. Murphy’s unusual combination of explosive charisma, focused ambition, raw talent, and deep-set circumspection puts him in a league of his own, and is on full display in Being Eddie, directed by two-time Oscar® winner Angus Wall. The documentary 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, Murphy 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.

Producers: John Davis, John Fox, Charisse Hewitt-Webster, Terry Leonard and Kent Kubena

Only on Netflix November 18, Gerry Dee: Funny You Should Say That is coming soon!

Logline: With dry wit, Canadian comic Gerry Dee explores his perilous years as a schoolteacher, the pitfalls of open marriages and the truth about Santa.

About: One of Canada’s most beloved personalities, Gerry Dee, is set to make his Netflix stand-up special debut with GERRY DEE: FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT, premiering worldwide on November 18. Filmed at Espace St-Denis in Montreal during the Just for Laughs festival, the special showcases Dee’s signature observational style honed over two decades on stage.

Dee, who spent nine years as a private school teacher before launching his comedy career, brings a highly relatable hour of comedy that mines the shared experience of middle-age, parenting pitfalls, and navigating the complexities of modern life. The special highlights the authentic voice that first brought him national attention, winning the prestigious San Francisco International Comedy Competition and becoming a finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing.

For global audiences who know him best as the star, co-creator, and showrunner of the hit sitcom Mr. D, or for Canadians who tune in weekly as he hosts Family Feud Canada, the special is a refreshing and unfiltered return to the raw stand-up that started it all. Dee proves that whether he’s grading papers or hosting a game show, the world’s most frustrating moments are often the funniest.

Danielle Woodrow and Tara Woodbury, Directors, Content – Canada, Netflix shared: “Gerry Dee has an established, highly engaged audience across Canada built on his incredible relatability and his ability to find humour in everyday chaos. His transition from the classroom to the comedy stage is a unique narrative. We are thrilled to partner with Gerry to bring his authentic brand of Canadian comedy to the global Netflix stage this November.”

Speaking about the premiere, Gerry Dee says: “To finally have my first Netflix special is truly a highlight of my career. After twenty-five years of stand-up and years on television, there is no bigger platform to share my comedy. The energy of performing in Montreal for Just for Laughs was incredible, and I can’t wait for people around the world to see the special.”

GERRY DEE: FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT launches worldwide, only on Netflix November 18, 2025.

A new trailer for 20th Century Studios’ “Ella McCay,” the upcoming comedy from Oscar® and Emmy Award®-winning writer, director and producer James L. Brooks (“As Good as It Gets,” “Terms of Endearment,” “Broadcast News,” “The Simpsons”), debuts today.

The original film releases in theatres nationwide on December 12, 2025 and features an all-star ensemble including Emma Mackey (“Barbie”), Oscar® winner Jamie Lee Curtis (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”), Jack Lowden (“Slow Horses”), Kumail Nanjiani (“The Big Sick”), Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Spike Fearn (“Alien Romulus”), Julie Kavner (“The Simpsons”), Rebecca Hall (“Christine”), Becky Ann Baker (“Girls”) and Joey Brooks (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty”), with Albert Brooks (“Broadcast News”) and Woody Harrelson (“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”).

In this new trailer, audiences get a closer look at the upcoming comedy in which Emma Mackey plays Ella McCay, an idealistic young woman, who juggles her family and work life in a story about the people you love and how to survive them.

James L. Brooks states, “My goal for this movie was to pay tribute, as best I could, to the golden age of movie comedy, the 1940’s and 50’s, when each of the Hepburns reigned. (Very strangely, it ended up feeling timely.) The challenge all along was to maintain the same zany spirit of that era, while still taking seriously the inevitable jolts, pains and pitfalls of being human. I was lucky enough to have a dream cast who delivered this story about Ella and her family with an energy and spirit way past what I’d imagined.”

“Ella McCay” is produced by James L. Brooks, p.g.a., Richard Sakai, p.g.a., Julie Ansell, p.g.a. and Jennifer Brooks, executive produced by Colby Pines, Seth William Meier and Amy Brooks, and features original music by Hans Zimmer.

While attempting to free a trapped anchor before a fierce storm hits, their boat capsizes, throwing the four friends violently into the freezing water.

US Coast Guard Captain Timothy Close (Josh Duhamel) and his crew, beaten back in their air rescue efforts, summon their largest ship to cut through the raging ocean as the group battles massive waves, dehydration, severe hypothermia, and even sharks, in their epic struggle to survive and return home to their distraught loved ones.
