There will also be interviews with many of Murphy\u2019s friends and peers, including Dave Chappelle, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jamie Foxx, and Jerry Seinfeld.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe new trailer for the doc teases its massive scope, tracing Murphy\u2019s rise from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-lists\/50-best-stand-up-comics-of-all-time-126359\/eddie-murphy-5-128733\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stand-up sensation<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-lists\/saturday-night-live-all-145-cast-members-ranked-146340\/2-eddie-murphy-165865\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Saturday Night Live<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-lists\/best-saturday-night-live-characters-143593\/20-tyrone-green-166110\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">star<\/a> to a performer capable of completely dominating the cultural landscape. \u201cMy stuff took off because they\u2019d never seen a young Black person take charge,\u201d Murphy says in the clip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBeing Eddie will also dig into Murphy\u2019s ability to constantly reinvent and push himself, whether he was playing multiple parts while wearing tons of prosthetics in The Nutty Professor, or earning Oscar nominations and Golden Globe awards for his performance in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-reviews\/dreamgirls-103085\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dreamgirls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBut most important, the film looks like it\u2019ll be filled with bits.
