Indeed, the cast of Lee Daniels’ Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? came together this week, and it came together quite nicely.
Stand-up comedian/actor Mike Epps is confirmed to be playing the comedy legend in the Weinstein Company-produced film, while Eddie Murphy will portray his father, “Uncle” Buck, and Oprah his brothel-owning grandma.
Kate Hudson is set for the role of Pryor’s widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor, who is on board as a producer, btw.
Production on the biopic scripted by Bill Condon and Danny Strong (TV’s Empire, Lee Daniel’s The Butler) will get underway next spring.
