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... :yeshrug:

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.

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....:yeshrug:
