so there's talk of nick cannon playin' richard pryor in an upcomin' biopic directed by lee daniels

[Methodical]

what happened to Marlon doing that?

This. I thought Marlon Wayans won the test screen for playing Richard?.

 

[TRIPLE M]

nick cannon doesnt have a good cadence,he sounds like a bytch when he talks and i cant take him serious

id rather see mike epps with the role

 

[International S.]

...so we are going to see Nick Cannon get set on fire?

we gonna see him freebasing too ... this is a lil too much...fukk all that, I'll just watch jojo dancer again..
Debbie Allen in that club scene

Richard's wife said he didn't like mike epps...met him before his death and called him unfunny and country and some other shyt...according to his wife

 

[jwinfield]

I would give it a shot but the only person who should be playing Ric is Eddie murphy

They both like(d) trannys

 

[International S.]

They both like(d) trannys

Word?...I heard this story from an old connect about Rayful Edmond, Eddie Murphy and Sugar Ray Leonard beefin over a certain Tranny, that mysteriously disappeared.... Paul Mooney looked kinda sweet back in the day too

 

[Danie84]

...and will Mariah make an appearance too

He'd kill it.

 

[Achille]

Damon Wayans always said he would do it if they approached him for it.

 

[Young Bishop]

Lee Daniels

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

It's hard for me to root against Nick.That's my middle school alumni

So while a part of me is a lil, I still gotta

 

[Sunalmighty]

A film about Richard Pryor would be more drama than anything. Lee Daniels? Nah. Wanna read a great book? Read his autobio "Pryor Convictions", that's some real shyt

 

[pete clemenza]

Richard Pryor made a few jokes about "f*cking f*ggots" back in the day..




I'm positive Lee Daniels will make sure that gets covered fully in the film

 

[Piff Perkins]

It could work with a good director, but I don't trust Daniels is that guy. Imagine Scorsese doing this for instance....then I could at least buy the potential since he's a legendary director with a history of getting the best out of non dramatic actors (Jonah Hill), and makes great period pieces.

What about Anthony Mackie?

 

[Jplaya2023]

Damon is to tall to play Richard, Eddie only does safe roles now.

Canon might look like him but he's 2 young to play this role.

Marlon should do it.
