"Coming to America" was supposed to feature a dance-off involving Eddie Murphy, Michael Jackson and Prince
The article "The most hilarious comedies, from 'Coming to America' to 'Ghostbusters,' had a dark side: book" by Larry Getlen (16 May 2019, New York Post) quotes several anecdotes from Nick de Semlyen's upcoming book "Wild and Crazy Guys: How the Comedy Mavericks of the '80s Changed Hollywood Forever" (Crown Archetype, out May 28).
Of particular relevance is this part:
While that particular feud was not his doing, Murphy caused plenty of drama, according to de Semlyen.
His much-loved "Coming to America" (1988), which is getting a sequel in 2020, starred Murphy as an African prince who comes to America to find his queen.
The biggest star in Hollywood at the time, he chose his "Trading Places" (1983) director, John Landis, to helm the movie.
But the joy we see on screen was not replicated on the troubled set.
"Eddie was such a monster star now, and it was different," Landis says in the book. "He had lost the sparkle. He could summon it forth and still be incredibly creative and brilliant, but he was dark on that movie."
The schedule for the filming was shorter than what Landis felt was needed — a dance-off on a New York street involving Murphy, Michael Jackson and Prince was scrapped.
As it turns out, this has been mentioned before: "11 things you didn't know about Coming To America" (26 June 2018, VirginMedia):
5 - It almost starred Michael Jackson… and Prince
When the movie went into production, there was a plan to include a cameo-studded scene in which Akeem has a dance-off in a New York street with both Michael Jackson (whose Thriller video had been directed by John Landis) and Prince. However, thanks to a very tight filming schedule, it proved too ambitious to pull off.

Well, they never said either party agreed to it. They said it was their plan to try and make it happen. But I agree with the overall opinion that the movie is perfect as is.
This experience will cover courtship, sex, commitment, fetishes, loneliness, vindication, love, and hate.

Coming To America 2 Delayed Four Months to December 2020
by Mike Jones • May 08, 2019 • Screen Rant
Coming to America 2 has been delayed four months to December 2020. As the 1980s drew to a close, few comedians could match what Eddie Murphy had accomplished during the decade. Having gone from SNL to cinema in a big way, Murphy built up a reputation as an often foul-mouthed but otherwise hilarious Hollywood star.
Though there have been numerous titles in Murphy's lengthy career that fans love and can't get enough of, it's perhaps 1988's Coming to America that's remained one of the comedian's most widely appreciated hits. Often overshadowed by the likes of the Beverly Hills Cop franchise or even Murphy's later work in The Nutty Professor films, Coming to America marked the first time that fans could watch Murphy lose himself in a variety of different characters - something that he would later become known for in a handful of films like the aforementioned Nutty Professor series, Bowfinger and Norbit. In fact, it was Coming to America's characters and feel good tone that's played a major part in the film being the fan favorite that it is today.
As fans of Murphy and Coming to America will likely know, a sequel to the 1988 hit has been on its way since 2017. Now, however, Deadline is reporting that the film's release has experienced a slight setback, with Paramount bumping the release date four months from August 7, 2020 to December 18, 2020. The move reportedly comes after Paramount decided to give the August 7 date to director Antoine Fuqua's Infinite, an adaptation of the novel, The Reincarnation Papers.
This switching of release dates may irritate some, but Paramount just might be making the smarter move here. The Reincarnation Papers stars Chris Evans and deals with the character of Evan Michaels, a man who can recall his past lives and discovers a secret society called the Cognomina, whose members all possess the same skill. The Cognomina's members have been agents of change throughout history and Michaels sets his sights on joining the centuries old organization. Compared to Coming to America 2, Infinite sounds like the kind of popcorn movie that does well during the summer season, while Coming to America's sentimentality and feel good vibe might be better received in December, when festive spirits are in full swing for many. Of course, there's no guarantee that Coming to America 2 will possess the same tone or sentimentality as its predecessor, but given the film's rumored storyline regarding Prince Akeem's long lost son, the potential for an emotional journey is high.
What's perhaps more concerning for fans than a bump back in the release date is whether or not this will be a sequel worth waiting for. As fans of older hit films are well aware, a modern day sequel doesn't always land on its feet. There are numerous reasons why a Coming to America sequel might not work, yet at the same time, there's also no discernible reason why Murphy and company can't pull off a Coming to America 2 that does just what a good sequel should: entertain those who've been waiting for it and explore the characters in a new and hilarious way.
For 65 years straight, the #1 genre in music, selling wise, was rock n' roll worldwide. Last year (2017) in June, it got de-crowned by hip hop. Hip hop is the #1 genre. It's hip hop - rock - country - pop or pop - country. ~ Pras

The 4 month delay doesn't really bother me. I'm just glad that it's happening at all. I hope Darryl Jenks, AKA The Prince of Soul Glo, is in it. And I hope his character went bald from using all that Soul Glo.

Sterol 14alpha-demethylase (CYP51), a major checkpoint in membrane sterol biosynthesis, is a key target for fungal antibiotic therapy. We sought small organic molecules for lead candidate CYP51 inhibitors. The changes in CYP51 spectral properties following ligand binding make CYP51 a convenient target for high-throughput screening technologies. These changes are characteristic of either substrate binding (type I) or inhibitor binding (type II) in the active site. We screened a library of 20,000 organic molecules against Mycobacterium tuberculosis CYP51 (CYP51(Mt)), examined the top type I and type II binding hits for their inhibitory effects on M. tuberculosis in broth culture, and analyzed them spectrally for their ability to discriminate between CYP51(Mt) and two reference M. tuberculosis CYP proteins, CYP130 and CYP125. We determined the binding mode for one of the top type II hits, alpha-ethyl-N-4-pyridinyl-benzeneacetamide (EPBA), by solving the X-ray structure of the CYP51(Mt)-EPBA complex to a resolution of 1.53 A. EPBA binds coordinately to the heme iron in the CYP51(Mt) active site through a lone pair of nitrogen electrons and also through hydrogen bonds with residues H259 and Y76, which are invariable in the CYP51 family, and hydrophobic interactions in a phylum- and/or substrate-specific cavity of CYP51. We also identified a second compound with structural and binding properties similar to those of EPBA, 2-(benzo[d]-2,1,3-thiadiazole-4-sulfonyl)-2-amino-2-phenyl-N-(pyridinyl-4)-acetamide (BSPPA). The congruence between the geometries of EPBA and BSPPA and the CYP51 binding site singles out EPBA and BSPPA as lead candidate CYP51 inhibitors with optimization potential for efficient discrimination between host and pathogen enzymes.

There are at least two Devil's Dykes in the south of England. I decided that I'd be walking the one in Cambridgeshire, following a mention both in an autumn walks supplement in The Guardian, and an appearance in Tony Robinson's Britain's Ancient Trackways part of the Icknield Way. Naturally, I took my drone with me.
Devil's Dyke from Adam Bowie on Vimeo.
I was going to start in Newmarket, but instead alighted the Cambridge to Ipswich train a stop earlier at Dullingham. The station is a short walk from the village, and my reason for getting off earlier was that I should be able to do more of the Dyke. However, the onlhy real option for the route was a walk along the quite busy B1061 – a road that doesn't have a suitable grass verge to walk along. Going slightly further out of my way, and joining the path at Stetchwork Park might have been more sensible.
Almost instantly I was on the Dyke, an ancient earthwork built sometime in the 6th or 7th centuries. It actually runs over 7 miles in length stretching between the villages of Woodditton and Reach. I was walking the northern end – a stretch of about 4.5 miles, and skipping a woody section.
The Dyke comprises of both a bank and a ditch. It must have taken years to complete and involved significant labour to get it done. Even today, with heavy lifting equipment it would take a long time to build.
Crossing the A1304, you reach Newmarket Racecourse sat on top of the expanse of Newmarket Heath. There are stables all around these parts of the country. The Dyke itself (marked as Devil's Ditch on Ordnance Survey maps), bisects the course, with the July course being on one side of the Dyke while the main stand is the other. Eventually the Dyke falls away as the Cesarewatch Course runs across your path and circles around to the main grandstand.
The A14 is as busy as a motorway, and a footbridge lets you cross it, before the Dyke continues.
The Dyke runs between the villages of Swaffham Prior and Burwell, and the path crosses the road that connects them, as well as a dismantled railway before finally ending at the pretty village of Reach.
I stopped at the very nice Dyke's End pub where I just about managed to squeeze in for lunch. Reach is where many people start and end their walk along the Dyke. However I was heading onwards, to get to Waterbeach where I could catch another train.
My initial plan had been to follow Reach Lode as far as the village of Upware and the enticingly named Five Miles From Anywhere pub. But I decided to shorten the route a little (it was long enough as it was), and instead headed west along the Black Droveway past some caravans, and then on towards Slades Farm which sits close to the Swaffham Bulbeck Lode. There's a nice cycleway in this area, and I saw a couple of families making use of the autumn weather to follow it.
The banks of the Lode got me as far the pumping station at Swaffham Lock. Here the channel met the River Cam which flows on to Cambridge. I turned southwest and followed the south bank of the Fen Rivers Way, passing a small marina and a number of anglers.
The last strech was a bit of a march as I realised I could just about make the hourly train at Waterbeach station. I arrived with about five minutes to spare, thus avoiding an hour's wait.
All told, a really nice, if quite long walk – just short of 15 miles. But aside from climbing up and down the Dyke at intervals, it's entirely flat, and is very reachable from London.
