In 1992 Murphy formed JD Productions in Los Angeles with Jane Hamsher. The early days of the company are documented in her book KILLER INSTINCT.

Murphy also played a key role in getting Disney to develop a live action version of Kiki's Delivery Service. He is the originating producer of the Transformers film. As of 2005, Murphy's AngryFilms was set to produce an adaptation of We3, a Vertigo Comics miniseries, for New Line Cinema; Susan Montford and Rick Benattar are also named in Variety reports.
