Universal Studios is in their early stages of creating a new “Nutty Professor” movie, which would be the third installment of the remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis vehicle. An open call is out to writers to take on this new Nutty idea. Although it has been eight years since the last “Nutty” came out, many executives are under the impression that this new movie would be more a sequel to ”The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps.”

Like “The Nutty Professor,” “Klumps” focused on Sherman Klump, a portly, gentle scientist, played by Eddie Murphy, who turns obnoxious after trying one of his own cures. In the second film, which expanded to include more of Klump’s family members, mostly played by Murphy.  As of right now Eddie Murphy has not been signed on to play th lovable family but since the movies have always done well their is no reason why he will not get the call.
