[Galactus10]

Does the script has any scenes with women snorting lines off Pryor's ****?


They need to go all out.



Tell da troof!

..... or is it?

Seriously, how is it THIS hard to execute?

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah I was just thinking about this last week. Don't know what's taking so long. But I rather they take a while and get it right. There's some good directors out there that could handle this. Ava Duvernay, Barry Jenkins, Ryan Coogler...but I think they're all busy

Did anyone see that movie Nina? Epps played Pryor in that movie, but I haven't been able to find any clips and I don't feel like sitting through the whole movie.

Somebody said Justice Smith and granted he does look like him, but could he pull it off?

 

[Pennywise]

Mike Epps could still play him.

 

[MadVillainy]

Mike Epps should still play him. Pryor handpicked him before his death. He's had convos with Jennifer Pryor and I'm sure he still wants to do it

And Justic Smith doesn't look a thing like him. That's a bad idea and he's way too young. Even once you add old person makeup

 

[Pennywise]

He posted this last year. There’s always a possibility he could have changed his mind in the last few years, but I’d like to assume he would still love to portray him.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yep unless Epps changed his mind, it's pretty disrespectful to go with someone else.

 

[Drizzle]

I say give Epps a shot. He's never been a leading man but in this case, I think people would be interested in a Pryor biopic regardless of who's playing him.

 

[Pennywise]

I mean, seriously! The resemblance is uncanny! Not that it matters, but still, he should get it!

They’ve been talking about this movie for years.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Pryor was living with a transsexual woman his last 10 years of life or so. He was also intimate with Brando back in the day, allegedly. His private life was wild. So wild that even Rick James told him to take it easy.

I heard about that tidbit of him and the transsexual. Wasn’t the same person involved with Redd Foxx too or it could’ve been another transwoman? Never knew he had a possible tryst with Brando though, interesting.

 

[DarkKnight88]

His grandma ran a brothel and his mom was one of the prostitutes. He was sexually abused at age 7. He was abandoned by his mom at 10. His grandma beat him up.

His story is tragic, which is why he managed to harness it into raw comedy onstage.
