For several years, a biopic about legendary comedian Richard Pryor has been attempted to be made several times and has fallen short of being that very biopic. 

Perhaps, critically acclaimed director Lee Daniels will be the one to spearhead the movie to being made as he in talks with The Weinstein Company to do this elusive project.

If this happens, this might be the first Lee Daniels movie with a little bit of humor in it.
