Eddie Murphy Is Back As Henry Joseph Church In First MR. CHURCH Trailer

Opening just in time for awards season is MR. CHURCH. Starring Eddie Murphy and Britt Robertson, MR. CHURCH hits theaters on September 16, 2016.

MR. CHURCH tells the story of a unique friendship that develops when a little girl and her dying mother meet a talented cook – Henry Joseph Church. What begins as a 6-month arrangement ends up enduring for 15 years and creates a bond that lasts forever.

Set 1965 Los Angeles, Mr. Church begins with a stranger arriving on the doorstep of 10-year-old CHARLOTTE “CHARLIE” BRODY and her single mother MARIE BRODY (40), who is battling breast cancer. They soon learn that the quiet man, HENRY CHURCH (40), has been hired by Marie’s recently deceased former lover to cook for them and help maintain the household. As Mr. Church’s time with the Brodys extends from months into years, he becomes a father figure for Charlie during her formative years, nurturing her love of literature and making a lasting impact on her life. Even as Mr. Church tries to keep his own life separate from the Brodys, he eventually learns that the connection he feels to Charlie is what family is all about.

Die-hard Murphy fans know BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984) was the film that made the actor a box-office superstar and most notably made him a celebrity worldwide, and it remains one of the all-time biggest domestic blockbusters in motion-picture history. Murphy’s performance as a young Detroit cop in pursuit of his friend’s murderers earned him a third consecutive Golden Globe nomination. Axel Foley became one of Murphy’s signature characters. Murphy was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in DREAMGIRLS (2006).

Could Murphy have another shot at an Oscar nomination with his latest film?

MR. CHURCH is from director Bruce Beresford. Beresford is best known for CRIMES OF THE HEART (1986); DRIVING MISS DAISY (1989), which won the Oscar for Best Picture; and DOUBLE JEOPARDY (1999).
