With the success of Dreamgirls and Shrek, it almost seems like Eddie Murphy has managed to resurrect the career that Harlem Nights, Vampire in Brooklyn, and Beverly Hills Cop III killed. But looking closer at Murphy-led comedies shows that between Dr. Doolittle 2 in 2001 and Norbit in 2007, most of his movies have, frankly, sucked. But he keeps plugging along and now you (or your daughter, niece, granddaughter, or ward) has a chance to join the fun!

Murphy is set to star in NowhereLand in 2008 and Paramount sent out a press release asking for girls age 4-7 to audition in Los Angeles for the part of Murphy’s daughter. No experience is required. My daughters happen to be too old and too white for this part, but you may have better luck. The request is for "smart, outgoing girls with great personalities who would love to be in a Hollywood film!!!" If your daughters are stupid introverts, do NOT apply.

The movie is being directed by Over the Hedge’s Karey Kirkpatrick, which is encouraging. Murphy plays a problem-plagued businessman who enters the imaginary world created by his daughter and finds solutions to his problems. The script was written by the duo responsible for Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure but, unfortunately, also for Mr. Wrong and the recent remake of The In-Laws. Good luck to the girl that gets involved in this thing.
