Kenya Barris’ Richard Pryor Biopic Is a 10-Episode Series; New ‘Wizard of Oz’ Is Set in Inglewood and ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Remake Has POC Lead

[Kooley_High]

Why do these directors choose the most embarrassing material for black film? We already have a “reimagining” of The Wizard of Oz and we don't need a remake of Its a Wonderful Life. These people love chasing controversy for mid films

 

[Rekkapryde]

As a miniseries, I think Kenya will deliver

Who's playing Richard tho?

 

[Rollie Forbes]

WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE REMAKES!!!

My issue with turning Pryor's life into a series is that a similarly seminal white figure would get a film and likely a shot at awards season if the script is good. A great script and actor for a Pryor film could be an amazing film. Decisions like this are why we end up with a bunch of civil rights and slavery movies instead...

Kenya Barris not clever enough to tell this story.

Eh, I get it, but honestly, a lof of historical figures, condensing their entire life into a 2 hour movie means you're cutting out a lot of shyt, unless you're focusing on a particular moment of the person's life.

Like the Michael Jackson movie, how do you fit that into a 2 hour movie unless you were focusing on like the time period when he was making Thriller.

My G, I want the reality. He did that and didn’t give a fukk about her.

I’m pretty sure him doing that gave her cancer ten years later too.

don't think it was cancer, but she can't have kids because of it.

She had cervical cancer and almost died in 1989

I just wanna see who would play her cause I’m judging that actress's ability completely on her titties. Call me a neanderthal, IDC

lmao wtf. I met bro once he's hella awkward. I don't know how these types are always the one who get the keys to tell black stories. Boy jewelery was shining like a mfer though.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Why does he keep getting these opportunities.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

More remakes

That's exactly how I felt about the Tupac movie, unless they Dune that bytch where you tell it in two parts
