I'm a little glad this movie didn't happen. Honestly, neither Murphy, Wayans or Epps could play him. Funny how he didn't even answer her question about what happened with the role. Maybe a little defensive because no one else could see him portraying Pryor. There will never be a movie on his life, other than Jo Jo Dancer, probably. And if they film one, I hope they cast the role to an unknown who kind of favors Rich. Anyway, RIP Richard. You are a one of a kind.
First of all there is no need for name calling it was my opinion and im entitled to it. second Marlon is a very good actor but most people only remember his comedies.
Third i never said Eddie Murphy should have played the part for on thing i hate Eddie they guy gas never made a good film since he picked up that male hooker on sunset blv. all i was simply saying is Epps is funny But is a major stuck up ass hole
Lmao how bad of an actor do you have to be to lose the Role of Richard Pryor to Eddie Murphy And then to still not get the part when Murphy drops out because he is a stuck up fuckwit who has not made a good movie since Beverly Hills Cop. to Marlon Waynes who is with out a shadow of doubt the best man for this roll.
@thecritic2007 STFU! Are you retarded? Eddie Murphy shouldn't have played Richard anyway. A great comic should not portray another great comic in a feature film. That'd be like Bill Cosby playing Redd Foxx! It'd be akward as shit! Mike Epps honestly could make a great Richard...with a few more years of experience. This is obviously going to be a serious movie about comedy but who takes Marlon Wayans seriously?
LMAO@ HIM BITCHIN UP WHEN SHE ASKED ABOUT HIM LOSING THE RICHARD PRYOR ROLE. LOL That's sum str8 HATER shit mike. lol Marlon got it and you wasn't good enough shit suck it up n on to the next u gon make yo paper. Just not as much as that role woulda brought. lol DAM that was a fat ass check yanked out dat niggas mouth. lolol He HURTTT!!!
@knockout1981pro COCK? That's sum gay cracka ass shit. lol You bitchin n whinin like a lil school bitch just like HIM. i BELIEVE YOU WANNA SUCK HIS DICK. i KNEW YOU WAS SUSPECT. Dick in the booty ass biotch!!!
an actor im thinking is best as pryor when you are distinctiveley yourself in your comedy style i think it would be hard to duplicate another style . whereas an actor can adapt to someon elses spirit .
@Mikencollege08 because at times its confusing.. and its her job to get the answer....she dont care about creating a bond with him after.. just getting the answer for all of us.. she knew he was uncomfortable..but she wanted to know why..
Epps ! no more than a Class clown! PRYOR a COMEDIC ICON!!!! PRYOR Class! Epss ASS!! Kiddy comedy album,Rapper wanna be! Before i saw this~ i respected Epps! He don't know what he wanna be! i've heard 3 year olds talk better than this Clown! He graduated from the school of Ebonics! what happened? stupidity! happened! many oddor more!! WTF??? ion't knoe nuttin bout dat!! ignant!! Holla!!~~Black and i'm proud! not so sure anymore~~guys like him cheapen the ARTS!!
its not really a matter of being funny. yeah, he's playin a comedian, but this movie is a drama. marlon wayans won the part fair and square. he sent a tape for his audition where he actually "became" richard. i have hope for marlon and im sure its gonna be a great movie.
I'm just saying that they should at least cast a person that has a stand-up comedy background. Marlon has more of a sketch comedy/sitcom background. I just think that Mike Epps is a better match.
@DarkProphet94 What I would give to see that screen test/tape that Marlon sent in to be chosen to play the role of Richard Pryor. I heard that it was was 13 minutes long and that everyone said that Marlon "became" Pryor on the screen. Eddie Murphy even gave it really high praise he said when he saw it when he was on the Letterman show.
horrible interviewer.she must have "trained" at watts community college.
