Really, it’s supposed to be happening this time. 

The cast is set with Mike Epps, Eddie Murphy, Oprah Winfrey, and Kate Hudson and Lee Daniels is at the helm and now the entire Richard Pryor biopic is finally set to go into production with The Weinstein Company in March of next year.

After all the years and accompanying problems of trying to do some sort of filmic retelling of any portion of Pryor’s life story, documentary or narrative, one can only hope that now it’s smooth sailing from here all the way to the theatrical release.
