According to Hollywood insiders, Eddie Murphy is rumored to be playing Richard Pryor in an upcoming biopic on the historic comedian. The biopic is to be written and directed by Bill Condon, who wrote and directed Dreamgirls as well as producing the Oscars this year, interestingly enough.
From Norbit to Meet Dave to a host of other shitty movies, Eddy Murphy has had a lot more strikeouts in recent years than he ever did in his past when his movies were box office gold. However, I have faith in the man to honestly portray his good friend and mentor, Richard Pryor. There is no one else in Hollywood who I could imagine doing a better job or being more fitting for the role. He's been doing it since '87 anyways...
