Eddie Murphy to Play Richard Pryor
Eddie Murphy might be hatching some Oscar buzz in the near future with his new role of portraying the legendary late comedian, Richard Pryor.The project to be called, “Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said?” will be directed by the Dreamgirls director! When you consider Pryor’s career highs and lows, including his well-publicized battles with alcohol and drug addiction and his struggle with multiple sclerosis this should be a good meaty role for Eddie Murphy to dig into.So long as Murphy doesn’t have another “Meet Dave”-esque movie on the horizon, the next few years is looking pretty good. No filming date has been set.
