30 Rock star Tracy Morgan is in
negotiations with The Weinstein Company to star in Lee Daniels' upcoming
Richard Pryor biopic as Redd Foxx (Sanford and Son, Harlem Nights).
In the film, Foxx will be portrayed
as a "brash comedian who owned a local comedy club and encouraged Pryor to
open up is act and embrace his culture."
The biopic stars Mike Epps as Pryor,
Kate Hudson as his wife Jennifer Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Taraji P. Henson as
his parents, and Oprah Winfrey as his grandmother, the one that raised the
comedian.
