Michael B. Jordan's Vampire Pick: Eddie Murphy's Classic
7 Dec
Summary
- Michael B. Jordan favors Eddie Murphy's 1995 vampire film.
- Jordan stars as vampire twins in his new movie, Sinners.
- Vampire in Brooklyn features Murphy as the last vampire.
Michael B. Jordan has named Eddie Murphy's character from the 1995 cult classic "Vampire in Brooklyn" as his favorite on-screen bloodsucker. The revelation came during an exclusive chat at the Gotham Awards in New York City on December 1.
Murphy portrayed Maximillian, the world's last vampire, in the 1995 horror-comedy, seeking to turn Detective Rita Veder into his eternal lover. This choice comes as Jordan himself has recently entered the pantheon of cinematic vampires with his acclaimed performance in "Sinners."
In "Sinners," Jordan takes on a dual role as twins Elijah and Elias Moore, who are tasked with defending their hometown from an invasion of vampires. This showcases a different take on vampire lore, thirty years after Murphy's iconic portrayal.
