High concept comedy comes from the 'Bill & Ted' writers

Eddie Murphy, nominated for his first Oscar earlier this week, is set to take a trip to "NowhereLand."

The comedy, scripted by Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson, could be Murphy's next project after Fox's "Starship Dave," according to Variety.

Murphy would play a financial executive who loses his mojo, but regains his confidence after taking a trip to the supposedly imaginary world created by his daughter.

Solomon and Matheson previously wrote together on "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey."

Murphy has already won a Golden Globe for his supporting performance in "Dreamgirls." His next film, "Norbit," opens in early February. Variety also reported in November that Murphy and Paramount are eager to mount a "Beverly Hills Cop 4," though that unnecessary sequel will probably have to wait for tiny details like a script and director.
