The Director
Though Eddie initially wanted John Landis, (Coming To America) to direct the film, the job ultimately went to Tom Shadyac. Nutty Professor was Shadyac’s third movie and from there he went on to direct films like Liar Liar, Patch Adams, Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. Basically, if you’re a comedian at the top of their game and you’re looking to make a blockbuster, then Shadyac is your man.
