IS IT SOMETHING I SAID?

marlon wayans is in talks to play richard pryor in 'is it something i said?' eddie murphy was supposed to play the part but since the production company was changed, he was no longer considered.

Sources tell EW.com that Wayans fought for the role, blowing the producers away with a 13- min screen test where he “transforms into Pryor.” The movie depicts Pryor’s controversial brand of comedy and his battle with drugs and is currently budgeted at $20 million. Chris Rock, Pryor’s widow Jennifer Lee Pryor and Mark Gordon are also lined up to produce. Producers are still working out the terms of Wayans’ deal, and other major aspects of the overall project have not been finalized. Sony did not respond to requests for comment. [ SOURCE ]

Marlon is my nigga and would murk the role, but I think Mike Epps would do the late, great Rich Pryor some justice as well.
