Smiles, everyone, smiles

From Iwatchstuff, "Unless this is a jest of the devil, Eddie Murphy is set to star in Fantasy Island, a film adaptation of the Ricardo Montalban and Hervé Villechaize series most commonly noted for the small guy's famous aerial sightings, "De plane! De plane!" As contractually obligated, Murphy will be playing several roles with the help of hilarious fat suits and voices.

Now, you're probably thinking what I did: It can't be as side-splittingly funny as Norbit, the new standard for our planet's comedy. Well, think again, friends. Fantasy Island is being written by the very same writers who brought us Norbit. We may have to rethink the rapidly developing saying, "Norbit can't strike twice." It just might!

Hey man, Fantasy Island wasn't a comedy, it was serious drama about people finding that last chance for happiness in the form of a lifelong dream come true. And also Roddy McDowell was there, playing Satan.
