This is some interesting news that broke earlier last week about a movie being developed by Bill Condon over at the Weinstein Company that is a Richard Pryor Biopic called ‘Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said?’ and from what everyone is saying Eddie Murphy has been cast as the lead in the movie to play Richard Pryor. Condon and Murphy worked together on ‘Dreamgirls’. Does this mean Eddie Murphy is going to start acting again? With this and ‘Beverly Hills Cop 4′ maybe he is done with the fart jokes. I would love to see Eddie Murphy go back to his roots. If your wonder if Eddie Murphy will be able to pull off playing Richard Pryor here is a little clip from the 1988 Raw comedy special where Murphy does a great Pryor impression. Check it out below!
