Paramount Home Media Distribution has announced that it will re-release two John Landis films starring Eddie Murphy: Coming to America (1988) and Trading Places (1983). The two releases will be available for purchase on June 12.
The upcoming releases will retain all legacy special features that have appeared on older releases of the two films.
Coming to America
Synopsis: Join Eddie Murphy (Norbit, Dreamgirls) on an unforgettable comic quest to the New World. As an African prince, it's time for him to find a princess... and the mission leads him and his most loyal friend (Arsenio Hall) to Queens, New York. In disguise as an impoverished immigrant, the pampered prince relishes the chance to test his mettle in the urban wilderness. Keep an eye out for both Murphy and Hall in some unforgettable cameo roles!
Special Features:
Synopsis: What happens when you combine the comic genius of Eddie Murphy (Norbit, Dreamgirls) with Dan Aykroyd (Ghostbusters, Christmas With The Kranks) and director John Landis (Animal House, Coming To America)? You get a timeless comedy classic laced with sidesplitting, satiric humor. Murphy stars as a small time con artist who gets a chance to switch lives with Aykroyd's big time stock market maven. But their reversal of fortunes is just a cruel joke perpetrated by two bored mega rich brothers (Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy) as part of an idle bet. And when the truth comes out... the consequences are sheer comedy gold!
