Eddie Murphy and Eva Longoria reuniting in Attachment Parenting
The Pickup co-stars Eddie Murphy and Eva Longoria are working together on a new comedy for Amazon MGM.
Eddie Murphy and Eva Longoria are reuniting on new comedy Attachment Parenting.
The 64-year-old actor and his 50-year-old castmate starred together in 2025's heist action comedy The Pickup, and now they are set to collaborate again on another Amazon MGM movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy and Longoria will star in the upcoming adaptation of Julianna Baggott's short story.
The pair are also set to produce the film alongside Davis Entertainment's John Davis, who was also involved with The Pickup.
The film will follow a psychologist couple as their parenting philosophy gets put to the test when they're held hostage at a hotel and have to help counsel a crime boss' dysfunctional family.
At this stage, no writer or director have signed up to the project, which is early in its development.
The project will be a third for Amazon for Murphy, who appeared in 2023's Candy Cane Lane, before working on The Pickup with Longoria.
There was a disaster on the set of the latter, when several crew members suffered "extensive injuries" after an accident during filming in April 2024 when two stunt vehicles collided.
An Amazon MGM Studios spokesperson told Deadline at the time: "On April 20, an accident occurred on the set of The Pickup during a rehearsed 2nd unit action sequence. Unfortunately, the sequence did not go as planned and several members of the crew were injured as a result.
“We are still in the process of gathering facts on what happened and why, but first and foremost our thoughts are with those who are recovering.
“The well-being of the entire crew and cast is our first priority, and we will continue to insist on the highest industry standards of safety while filming. All safety precautions were reviewed prior to and monitored during the shoot.”
Filming was paused following the incident, which resulted in crew member Marvin Haven - one of eight people hospitalised at the time - suffering broken ribs, fractures in his neck and back, a shattered scapula, a punctured lung, and a skull fracture.
Special effects specialist Wayne Rowe also suffered extensive injuries, including multiple fractures to his L1 vertebra, a broken wrist and a significant head laceration.
