Eddie Murphy classics TRADING PLACES (35th Anniv.) and COMING TO AMERICA (30th Anniv.) available on Blu-ray and Digital June 12th

CELEBRATE THE ANNIVERSARIES OF TWO HILARIOUS CLASSICS STARRING COMEDIC GENIUS EDDIE MURPHY

 

TRADING PLACES      COMING TO AMERICA

 

Eddie Murphy demonstrates his incomparable comedic talent in the beloved 80s classics TRADING PLACES and COMING TO AMERICA, available individually on Blu-ray™ + Digital June 12, 2018 from Paramount Home Media Distribution.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary,TRADING PLACES pairs Murphy with Dan Aykroyd in director John Landis’ sidesplitting social satire.  A small-time con artist switches roles with a big-time stock market maven as part of an idle bet between two mega-rich brothers.  But when the truth comes out, the consequences are pure comedy gold.  The Blu-ray includes multiple behind-the-scenes featurettes, as well as access to a digital copy.

In COMING TO AMERICA, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2018, Murphy reteamed with director John Landis to play a pampered African prince who disguises his identity to roam the U.S. in search of a bride.  The film also stars Arsenio Hall and James Earl Jones and features a variety of cameos, including Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy from Trading Places.  The Blu-ray includes vintage interviews with the cast, behind-the-scenes featurettes, a photo gallery, and access to a digital copy.
