@theoriginalbigdaddy , @eppsie , and me just finished a great 1st read session. #RichardPryorMovie

 

Oprah went to social media to announce that Mike Epps had not only secured the lead role in the Richard Pryor movie but also Lee Daniels will be producing it and she will be playing the role of Marie Carter Richard Pryor’s violent and abusive grandmother.

Epps beat out a long list of people wanting the role of Pryor including Marlon Wayans, Nick Cannon and more.  And by the looks of it Mike Epps is already starting to look the part of Richard Pryor.  Correct me if I’m wrong but this might just be Epps first serous leading role.  Can’t wait to see this one!
