Pryor Biopic To Shoot This Summer
It is being reported that Lee “Empire” Daniels‘ Richard Pryor biopic is a distinct (though far from guaranteed) possibility as far being a late 2015 release. Yet another biopic about a genius with demons whose life was destroyed by drugs and then died too soon. How many times has this story been told? Pryor’s widow Jennifer Lee has said during an “Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend†podcast that the biopic will roll in July. Mike Epps as Pryor, Kate Hudson as Jennifer and Oprah Winfrey “so far†attached as Pryor’s grandmother. Daniels rewriting Bill Condon‘s script.
