Just checked imdb and no info on this movie seems dead

I thought I remembered seeing Mike Epps on power105 breakfast club saying that he was involved in this. Something about Pryor's estate was blocking its production or something.. I may be wrong...

There was definitely something about his wife blocking it being reported at one time. I don't even know if it ended up being Epps or Wayans that ended up with the role, but it appears pretty much dead right now.

wasn't chappelle linked to this at some point?

 

[Bud Bundy]

let Murphy play him

 

[Ziggiy]

Murphy, Wayans, and Epps have all at certain points been tied to the role. The last I heard Wayans had actually signed on and it was going into production but that was two years ago....

I saw Marlon tweet somethin the other day saying that he was doin the movie. I honestly cant see him pullin it off.

Eddie murphy is probably the one who will get the role. Dude has met him and worked with him before
