Prime Video just shared an explosive trailer for a new action comedy movie with Eddie Murphy — and it looks like a wild ride
Prime Video looks to be bolstering its summer movie line-up with another crime comedy, and, based on the trailer, it looks like a chaotic watch. In addition to the explosive John Cena/Idris Elba buddy comedy, "Heads of State" (streaming July 2), the Amazon streaming service is due to add "The Pickup" just a few weeks later. Tim Story's new crime comedy sees Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson as a pair of armored truck drivers being hijacked. Chaos ensues, and you can get a taste of what's in store below: On a seemingly ordinary day, armored car drivers Russell (Murphy) and Travis (Davidson) hit the road... and find themselves targeted by dangerous criminals. The trailer sees the mismatched pair trying to fend off the hijackers, only to learn that their leader, Zoe (Keke Palmer), is standing in the back of their truck. And after that wild chase, Zoe reveals she has very ambitious plans to rob a casino, and she needs their help to do so. Cue a montage of more action, antics, explosions and lewd banter. If you liked seeing Axel Foley back in action on Netflix last summer in "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F," it might be the watch for you. Looking forward to watching "The Pickup" on Prime Video this summer? Good news: you only have to wait a couple more months, as the trailer confirms the new crime-comedy will release on the Amazon streamer on Wednesday, August 6. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The trailer already gives us a pretty clear idea of what to expect from "The Pickup," though Amazon's also shared a plot synopsis for the new comedy caper. It reads: "In the action-comedy 'The Pickup,' a routine cash pickup takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson) are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (Keke Palmer), with plans that go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds around them, the unlikely duo must navigate high-risk danger, clashing personalities, and one very bad day that keeps getting worse." In addition to the above names, "The Pickup" also stars Eva Longoria, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Jack Kesy, Andrew Dice Clay, Marshawn Lynch and WWE's Joe "Roman Reigns" Anoa'i.

No joke: Two of the funniest actors in Hollywood are officially in-laws. Eddie Murphy confirmed during a May 29 appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" that his son, Eric Murphy, has married Martin Lawrence's daughter, Jasmin Lawrence. Murphy said the couple opted against a large wedding and instead tied the knot quietly. "They got married like two weeks ago," he revealed in a clip shared by Entertainment Weekly. "Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them. "They went off and they got married at the church," he went on to add. "They just had the two of them and the preacher." Though the pair skipped a large wedding, Murphy said there will likely be a "big party" to celebrate the union. He noted that he and Martin Lawrence, who co-starred in the films "Life" and "Boomerang," are "in-laws" and joked the "Bad Boys" actor doesn't have "to pay for the big wedding now." Eddie Murphy's son is marrying Martin Lawrence's daughter: 'A love that feels like destiny' Jasmin Lawrence and Eric Murphy confirmed their relationship in 2021. In 2022, Lawrence told InTouch that they met through her uncle, not their famous parents. "It wasn't even our dads, and they've done two movies together," she told the outlet. "They're friends. I don't even know. It's crazy. But we met through my uncle, and we became really good friends. We bonded on a lot of things. Obviously, we have similar backgrounds, so we understood each other on a certain level." The pair confirmed their engagement in November by sharing a romantic video on Instagram showing Murphy getting down on one knee in a room filled with candles. "We're engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter," Lawrence wrote on Instagram at the time. Eddie Murphy's son is 'head over heels in love' for Martin Lawrence's daughter Speaking to "CBS Mornings" last year, Eddie Murphy joked that if Eric and Jasmin "get married and have a child, I'm expecting the child to be funny." In his own appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show," Martin Lawrence praised Eric Murphy as a "great young man."

Taylour Paige pregnant with first child
Taylour Paige is expecting her first child. The Zola actress announced her pregnancy news on Instagram on Monday by posting a photo in which she wore a form-fitting white dress that hugged her baby bump. She did not caption the post. The 34-year-old received congratulatory messages in the comments from fellow celebrities. "Omg YEASSS. Sooo happy for you," wrote Lily Collins, who became a mum in January, while Aja Naomi King posted, "Oh Congratulations," with multiple heart emojis. Actors Rachel Zegler, Julia Fox, Laura Harrier and Jay Ellis also reacted to Taylour's happy news. This will be the first child for the Ma Rainey's Black Bottom actress and her fashion designer husband Rivington Starchild, who have been married since October 2022. Earlier this month, Taylour opened up about her battle with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it. In an Instagram post, she revealed that she experienced "so much agony and turmoil" over the 20 years it went undiagnosed. She underwent surgery in 2023 and candidly shared pictures of her scars in honour of Endometriosis Awareness Month. Taylour experienced her breakout film role with Zola in 2020, but she has also starred in the TV show Hit the Floor and the films Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, Mack & Rita and White Boy Rick.
