Murphy to Play Pryor

A few different sources (EW, Hitfix) have confirmed that Eddie Murphy will play legendary comedian Richard Pryor in a new drama called Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? for director Bill Condon, who's reuniting with Murphy following their 2006 hit Dreamgirls.

World Mourns Legend

Yesterday, the world lost RUDY RAY MOORE, a name most of us don't recognize... but without him there would be none of today's multimillion selling black comics like the late great Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Robert Townsend, Whoopi Goldberg, The Wayans Brothers, etc., etc.
And, in our opinion, Samuel L. Jackson owes every acting role he's ever had to RUDY RAY MOORE.
