    But will he be delirious?
    STEVE WATTS Eddie Murphy will star in a movie project for Netflixthat will be produced by Arrested Development's Brian Grazer.

    "I’m going to do a movie with Netflix," Grazer told Bloomberg (via EW). "I’m going to do a tour-de-force movie that’s cinema verite with Eddie Murphy being as raw as he can be."

    The word choice likely isn't a coincidence, as "Raw" is the title of one of Murphy's most famous stand-up comedy films. Murphy isn't the first high-profile comedian to join up with Netflix. Adam Sandler signed a four movie deal with Netflix, which led to some consternation after the poor box office performance of Pixels.

    Grazer went on to praise Netflix for the amount of creative freedom it grants to its shows and movies.

    "They way they govern their creativity is exceptional," he said. "They believe that if they like the idea and the foundational elements, you’re just off to do what you believe in, and they trust it. And it’s been working for them."
