thambi ramaiah’s son umapathi makes his debut in am ( the title is too long , without a reason to the story ) . along with him is comedian karunakaran , as they try to bring the film alive with the duos comical antics . the film which was completed almost 2 years back hits the screens finally today , let’s see how it has panned out .
the hero is a guitarist who comes from a simple family , his father is the ever classic pandiarajan but he hardly has anything funny to quip ; instead the only dialogue given to him is
enda , enga antha guitar
or rather he goes on a flashback behind the guitar , period . the film opens up with the hero messed up in a situation while trying to help his friend , an attempted burglary at a business man ( aadukalam naren ) forms the crux of the plot , again its only attempted but completely comical to see everyone including the police , media act as if all is lost ; it goes too much when the senior cop ( yog japee ) sighs in frustration as he is under serious pressure from senior officers to resolve this issue . but the funny part is that the business man himself does not want police to be involved in the heist matter .
so the plot is simple , the hero in his means to help his friend , loses his guitar at a big mansion owned by a business man , the timing is bad as some burglars try to barge into the house at the same time . so to try and keep his hands clean and also retrieve his father’s prized possession guitar , he gets dozens of ideas from his friend karunakaran , disguises as a detective to get back his guitar only to get caught in a deeper problem with the burglar gang . so with love for the business man’s daughter and his conscious on one hand , the guitar problem on other hand the hero’s predicament completes the story .
umapathy and karunakaran’s comical sequences throughout the movie is banked upon various classical vadivel and goundamani jokes . remember vadivel – arjun combo , the comedian thinks big of himself thinking the hero has his back , only to turn around and see himself caught in the middle of a rowdy gang , what happens next is anybody’s guess . the hero - sidekick comedy line has been built on this strategy , they keep doing this over and over starting on a funny note until it gets tiresome . with a simple plot , the director could have dealt it in a simplistic way , instead he tries to force in comedy desperately making the whole affair look flimsy . there is this scene when the whole business man’s family is gathered to see karunkaran’s nunchaku stunt , the placement is completely ridiculous . reshma rathore is just another average kollywood heroine who appears only in hero’s duet dreams .

this seems like it would have been an especially risky choice for both eddie murphy and the star trek franchise , but considering murphy’s box office clout in 1986 , audiences would have probably followed him anywhere . he made the golden child instead , his first misstep as a lead actor . the film was despised by critics but eddie murphy had such a fervent fanbase at the time that golden child was still a minor box office success . it’s likely this audience would have also followed him to star trek and made this installment of the franchise a bigger hit than it was without him . this would have continued murphy’s dominance of the movie industry , while preventing him from losing a little ground with the golden child .
plot : a remake of the 1953 film , where a boy battles martians who have taken over his parents and threaten to destroy the world .
rather than going to an orphanage 12 - year old david was sent , instead , to a scientific facility so as to further their research on david ' s skill in extrasensory perception . through this gift david earlier learned of an african prophesy of a white boy to be their “son of the moon” god and he believed that he may be that child . but at this scientific facility david learned that this may not be so and with a couple whom he had befriended at the facility made their escape , heading toward africa where david ' s fate awaits him . enrique saldana plays david , and considering this was his first film appearance , he did a good job . although the film was long , about two hours , it could have been shortened somewhat without losing any of its zest . but in spite of this i still enjoyed the film .
plot : a troubled teen ( christian slater ) forms a friendship with a reclusive ex - astronaut ( martin sheen ) . eventually , sheen introduces slater to a secret he discovered on the moon .
since ancient times , a tribe on the african continent has been prophesying that a white boy will arrive to be their god : the son of the moon . david , a 12 - year - old orphan who lives in europe , learns about the prophecy and believes that he is the chosen child and that destiny must be fulfilled at any cost . before david can fulfill his prophecy he must escape the heavily guarded scientific organization that has adopted him . david ' s strange behavior and the fact that he possesses extrasensory perception , has attracted the attention of an organization researching so - called
prodigious beings
in the occult tradition . david soon discovers that their goal is to channel the moon ' s energy into a child yet to be born , robbing him of his rightful place as the son of the moon . two women , victoria , a member of the center , and georgina , the future mother of the supposed moonchild , will help david fulfill his destiny . after several attempts david manages to escape the center and undergoes a series . . .
film , in which simian roddy mcdowall attempts to peacefully coexist with conquered humanity . but not everyone goes along with the plan , especially with an impending nuclear threat .
as the 1989 film tongues untied – still so relevant today – points out , it is common for black gay men to internalize a fear of one another and to buy into a push that we ought to flee into the arms of a white gay man . like worshipping a brad pitt - like portrait of jesus christ in church , it is easy for black gay men to internalize society’s pressure to idealize white men and believe that salvation can be had by being closer to whiteness .
this is a good movie this it is about this one boy . he is called the moon child and he has the power of the moon he can move things with his eyes . that may not be word for word what that call it . later this boy and girl go to africa and there is this boy one thing that puzzles me i do not know if it is an african thing or not but the two boys tap each others tongues to each others . i missed a bit i had to read the subtitles and some times i was to slow just warning you there are about 2 nudity parts in it . on his voyage he does not use his powers much .
spainís augusti villaronga followed up his fearsome masterpiece in a glass cage with this highly ambitious mystical fantasy . the film has many shortcomings , but its nightmarish aura is quite arresting .
plot : a television series based on the explorations of colonel ed mccauley . the show attempted to show the real qualities of space , instead of the typical characteristics of a science fiction film .
eddie murphy was considered to play the villain this low budget horror film that ended up being a surprise success . i doubt the filmmakers would have even been able to afford murphy , as his salary at the time was likely almost double the film’s shoestring $ 8 million budget . playing a bad guy in a horror film would have shown off murphy’s diversity as an actor , but his own efforts in the horror genre — vampire in brooklyn , the haunted mansion — rank amongst his worst - received films . it’s probably for the best that murphy only made two horror movies ; a third could have killed his career .
plot : semi - sequel to the 1956 film . this one is set in san francisco , where the
seeds
from outer space are duplicating and destroying the bay area residents at an alarming rate .
another gift jenkins gives not just to american cinema , but to american culture , is that he depicts black boyhood as something worthy of rooting for to succeed . it is not especially difficult to make white boyhood precious . in the 2014 movie boyhood , director richard linklater encouraged the audience to hold as precious and unique mason , a banal and totally average white american child who existed in an imaginary nearly all - white texas . mason and his friend engage in petty vandalism , and also drink and drive – and yet , mason , “no angel” , was excused and held dear in a way a black child never would be .
casting is one of the most important processes in movie making . placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true . thus , casting directors and filmmakers consider a variety of possibilities before going into production . lost roles is a weekly series that examines the missed opportunities — the roles that could have been — and explores how some casting choices that almost happened could have changed the film industry and the comedy world , at large .

paramount bought the rights to this pulitzer prize - winning august wilson play in 1987 at eddie murphy’s urging , with the understanding that he would produce and act in the film adaptation . murphy , then 26 , wanted to play the main character’s son , a high school athlete . he ended up leaving the project , and a film version of the play has yet to come together . like malcolm x and driving miss daisy , this was another chance for murphy to establish himself as a respected dramatic actor and a potential awards contender .
plot : considered to be the worst film ever made . hilariously bad , it attempts to deliver an antiwar message as well as thrills and chills , but does not succeed . i watched the whole thing , and i ' m still not sure what the plot is .
jenny lewis started acting at a young age , appearing in commercials and tv movies , and making her television debut in a 1985 episode of the twilight zone . she acted throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s , with projects including episodes of the golden girls , growing pains , and roseanne , and the 1989 movie troop beverly hills . lewis successfully pivoted to music in the late ’90s as a part of rilo kiley and continues to lead a successful solo career , seeing critical acclaim with her 2014 album , the voyager .
even in the film’s uplifting moments , it is depressing that everyone in chiron’s life is either dead or living under some form of state surveillance . jenkins deals with this deftly , without being heavy - handed or dismissive , and makes the characters no less worthy of our support .
plot : the most highly regarded sci - fi film of the 1950s . a futuristic space mission lands on the planet altair - 4 and finds a doctor and his daughter , who are all that remain from a previous colonization attempt , and an unseen force that does not welcome them .
plot : the third film in the alien trilogy . ripley ( sigourney weaver ) crash - lands on a planet where an old mining facility is used as a penal colony for madmen and rapists . the evil alien has once again stowed away on ripley ' s ship , and battles ensues .
when this film was originally conceived in the mid - 1980s , it was set up as a project for david bowie and mick jagger , who had wanted to do a movie together . jagger and bowie dropped out and eddie murphy was briefly attached before he passed and steve martin signed on .
in 1985 , a young sean astin made his big - screen debut as mikey walsh in the goonies . then an unknown 14 - year - old actor with just tv movie credits to his name , astin led the film that would later become a cult classic . he kept busy with film projects throughout the ’80s and ’90s and earned acclaim for his turn as samwise gamgee in the lord of the rings series . in recent years , astin has filled his resume with voice work , lending his vocals to tv shows such as sofia the first , teenage mutant ninja turtles , and bunnicula .
corey feldman started acting when he was a child , appearing in commercials and making tv cameos . he got his big break in 1979 however , when , at the age of 8 , he debuted as regi tower in the bad news bears . feldman filled his resume with tv and film roles throughout the ’80s and ’90s , and branched out with an attempt at a music career . in recent years , feldman released a book , coreyography : a memoir , which followed his friendship with the late corey haim , feldman’s public struggle with substance abuse , and his life growing up in the spotlight . he still acts , lending his voice to teenage mutant ninja turtles as slash and appearing in indie movies .
it’s the story of a love quadrangle , a child , a theater troupe , and a long winter . nathalie is pregnant , but the baby’s father , stefane , leaves her for sabine , a set designer for the theater . sabine has just left bruno , an actor in the same troupe . nathalie tries to kill herself and is saved by her friend leni , as stefane then follows sabine on her theatrical tour . . .
while picking beverly hills cop over ghostbusters was a smart decision on murphy’s part , if he had somehow been able to balance the shooting schedules of these two films , it would have turned him into the biggest movie star in the world . taking part in ghostbusters would have also secured him a role in 1989’s ghostbusters ii . although the sequel isn’t held in high esteem by fans and critics , it was still a financial success . adding these two hits to his resume would have helped eddie murphy to better withstand the career slump he went through in the early ‘90s and kept him a first choice for casting agents , directors , and studio execs .
gaining experience through tv movies and small - screen cameo gigs , kirk cameron became a household name thanks to his turn as mike seaver on growing pains from 1985 to 1992 . the child star then got his own spin - off with the short - lived kirk and soon turned his focus to religious work . the star , who is an evangelical born - again christian , largely restricts his on - screen work to projects that align with his faith , such as 2008’s fireproof and 2014’s saving christmas .
tracey gold started appearing on the small screen when she was just 7 years old . at the age of 16 , she became a star with her role of carol seaver on growing pains . she starred on the sitcom for seven years and continued her tv work throughout the ’90s and 2000s . gold wrote about her experience as a child star , as well as her well - publicized battle with an eating disorder , in the 2003 book , room to grow : an appetite for life , and has made recent appearances in tv movies .
while she picked up early roles in the dean martin show and gunsmoke , melissa gilbert is best known for her 1978 debut as laura ingalls on little house on the prairie . she appeared on the original series for nine years , also reprising the role for tv movies . gilbert is still acting decades later — recently appearing as lisa daly on secrets and lies — but has shifted her focus as of late . the former child star announced in august 2015 that she was running for u . s . congress in michigan’s 8th congressional district in the 2016 election .
with a career lasting over three decades , eddie murphy has his fair share of film parts he came close to playing . i know what you’re wondering , and yes , there are roles eddie murphy has turned down . every major actor has a roster of missed opportunities and close calls , even — how shall i put this — those who are “less selective . ” here’s a rundown of eddie’ murphy’s lost roles .
the first time i saw moonlight , i was worried that it could create a dangerous takeaway message : that if black gay men want to lead full lives , they should try to escape from the violence of other black men and into the arms of whiteness . a reading of the film to that point could be saying that chiron’s precious boyhood could not be trusted to other black boys and men and might better be nurtured elsewhere .
following appearances in two episodes of the twilight zone , danica mckellar snagged her second onscreen gig as winnie cooper in the wonder years . the child star played winnie for five years , going on to spend her late childhood and teens in front of the camera . mckellar , whose recent credits include voice work on transformers : rescue bots and phineas and ferb , earned a bachelor of science in mathematics from ucla in the late ’90s and authored four books on math in recent years , including 2009’s kiss my math : showing pre - algebra who’s boss , and 2012’s girls get curves : geometry takes shape .
viewers first met ricky schroder in 1979 , when the then - child star appeared alongside jon voight and faye dunaway in the champ . after a handful of other big - screen turns , schroder hit the small screen as ricky stratton on silver spoons . he grew up in front of the camera , spending five years on the sitcom from 1982 to 1987 . he filled his filmography over the next two decades , playing dr . dylan west on strong medicine and mike doyle on 24 . he made a cameo as himself in 2010’s get him to the greek and stepped behind the camera with directing and production company work .
after picking up early gigs in tv movies , soleil moon frye became a bona fide star at the age of 7 , when she nabbed the lead role in punky brewster . frye played the title character from 1984 to 1988 and continued to spend her childhood acting with cameos in tv shows like the wonder years and saved by the bell . decades later , frye still occasionally acts , lending her voice to animated series like planet sheen and robot chicken through 2014 . now the mother to three children with a fourth on the way , frye also co - founded moonfrye , a kids crafts company .
the same week moonlight opened , a sign commemorating emmett till , murdered for whistling at a white woman , was riddled with bullet holes – a 14 - year - old still considered suspect , six decades after being lynched . but white boys , like boyhood’s mason , are considered innocent by default . as we saw the same actor , ellar coltraine , grow up on film over 12 years , we were encouraged to see him as the future of america , worth protecting .
lukas haas spent his childhood in front of the camera , making big - screen turns in 1983’s testament and 1985’s witness , in addition to other tv and film projects . he filled his filmography with dozens of roles in the ’90s and 2000s and , in recent years , was featured as a part of critically acclaimed films . haas appeared alongside leonardo dicaprio , joseph gordon - levitt , ellen page , and tom hardy in 2010’s inception , and reunited with dicaprio for the 2015 release of the revenant .
the film moonlight is extraordinary for many reasons , but to me it is most so for two . first , it considers black boys to be precious , at a time when news stories perpetually make it seem as if the united states considers them to be utterly expendable . second , it acknowledges the effects that the stalking ghosts of premature death and incarceration have upon gay black masculinity – and it manages to do so without ever diminishing the lives full of complex humanity that black gay men still manage to have in america while navigating that reality .
eddie murphy admitted to passing on roger rabbit , saying he had thought it would be a disaster . he now regrets the decision and says he “feels like ‘an idiot’ every time he sees it . ” although murphy missed out on a major hit , i don’t think roger rabbit would have worked as well with him playing eddie valiant . considering murphy’s r - rated persona in the ‘80s , i was surprised disney offered this to him . eddie murphy’s presence couldn’t have hurt the film too much , though , as he was much more famous than actual star bob hoskins at the time , and he could have given roger rabbit an extra boost at the box office .
the film’s director , frank oz , managed to pull two great performances out of murphy a decade later in bowfinger . if oz could get murphy to do so well in the late ‘90s , there’s no doubt the two would have worked together well during murphy’s ’80s heyday . although steve martin replaced murphy in the role , i think this really could have worked with martin as the stuffy character that michael caine ended up playing and murphy in the role that went to martin . it could have been a big hit and it would have certainly been more satisfying than the unnecessary beverly hills cop and 48 hrs . rehashes that populated eddie murphy’s filmography in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s .
if eddie murphy had landed the grinch part , it could have thrown jim carrey’s career off track . the grinch was a huge hit for jim carrey , proving he still had it and that his movies could still attract big crowds . the grinch was jim carrey coming up for air to make a sure - fire hit in between endangering his career with risky roles in man on the moon and the majestic . neither of those films ended up being commercial successes , and without the grinch to back himself up , carrey might have seen his career take a downturn . studios likely wouldn’t have felt confident enough to cast him as the lead in bruce almighty , if his most recent hit had been in the 90s , and another actor could have taken that part . bruce almighty was the gasp for commercial air that kept carrey’s career breathing while he plunged back into the less - commercial depths to make eternal sunshine of the spotless mind . without that part , his career may have been dead in the water .
murphy , a close personal friend of richard pryor’s , who cast pryor in his directorial debut harlem nights , seems like he would have been a solid choice to play the comedian . it’s going to be hard to please us pryor fans with any actor playing him , but i feel like murphy was a respectable selection and he showed in his stand - up film raw that he has pryor’s voice , cadence , and mannerisms down . i’m dubious about the marlon wayans casting , but he reportedly gave a 13 - minute screen test that impressed the producers , with some claiming he “transforms into pryor . ” time will tell if this project ever sees the light of day , as bill condon recently put it on hold to direct parts one and two of breaking dawn , the final two installments in the twilight franchise .
studio executives considered casting bette midler and eddie murphy as the leads in this oscar - winning film . this is perhaps the most shocking entry in murphy’s cache of missed opportunities , and it’s a part i don’t think he was ready to pull this off at the time . morgan freeman’s age is a big part of his character , and one of the reasons i can’t imagine murphy in this role is that he was so much younger at the time . he was still in his 20s while this one was in production . slotting bette midler in the lead role is another odd notion , although she’s done better with dramatic roles than murphy has . the midler - murphy version of miss daisy would have lacked the critical appeal and effectiveness of the jessica tandy - morgan freeman one that actually came to exist , but if murphy and midler’s performances ended up being good , this may have still been a success and not the disaster that it sounds like .
murphy’s four - year stint at snl was arguably what saved the show from the jaws of cancellation during the non - lorne michaels years , and every cast member and comedy writer who has used the show as a springboard to fame since owes their career to eddie murphy . he dominated the show , appearing in nearly every sketch and introducing a bevy of hilarious characters and impressions . his comedic persona was surprisingly well - formed for someone who was only 19 when he joined snl . murphy’s first few movies , too , were just as strong as his snl work . 48 hrs . , trading places , and beverly hills cop were all massive blockbusters and critically - acclaimed comedies too , each one funnier and more financially successful than the one before it . murphy’s early career had some real momentum going , more so than any film comedian i can think of at the start of their career . can you name someone who starred in three great movies right off the bat , without a slip - up ? if eddie murphy’s entire career had gone as well as those first five years did , then he would without a doubt be deserving of icon status .
driving miss daisy was well - received at the time , scoring a boatload of oscars and nominations , including a best picture win . while this wouldn’t likely have happened with midler and murphy as the leads , i doubt the presence of those actors could have steered the project too far off course . driving miss daisy may have still ended up acclaimed by critics and this could have been a transitional role for eddie murphy , allowing him to take on more highbrow and dramatic fare and helping him to bypass his fart - heavy mid - ’90s family film comeback . hell , driving miss daisy was so beloved that murphy’s trading places costar dan aykroyd even received an oscar nom for best supporting actor for his work here . it was the first - ever oscar nomination for an ex - snl star , long before bill murray’s turn in lost in translation or murphy’s own in dreamgirls . maybe murphy could have earned himself a nomination if he had been cast in this role . tom hanks and robin williams both pulled off the tricky comedy - to - drama transition around the same time , and if murphy had given it his all in driving miss daisy , he may have been able to follow their paths .
back in 2005 , before inglourious basterds went into production , actor michael madsen announced to a reporter that quentin tarantino’s cast for the film was to include himself , tim roth , eddie murphy , and adam sandler . while this sounds completely unbelievable and like madsen was just making this up , it is confirmed that roth and madsen were at one point attached and tarantino has said he wanted sandler to play the part that went to eli roth . but eddie murphy’s casting sticks out most , and he’s the one actor madsen mentioned whose involvement hasn’t been confirmed outside of this one interview . tarantino has made a habit of casting forgotten actors and reviving them out of career dry spells ( john travolta , pam grier , david carradine , etc . ) , but eddie murphy still seems a strange choice for this one . tarantino has proven he has a strong eye for casting , and i doubt he would consider murphy unless he had the perfect role for him . it sounds absurd on paper , but maybe tarantino had figured out a great way to use him . this is something that could have revitalized eddie murphy’s career and introduced a new side of him to audiences , but chances are this was just michael madsen feeding the press some misinformation .
