Jay Z Producing Richard Pryor Biopic


Rapper Jay Z joins the production side of the upcoming Richard Pryor biopic directed by Lee Daniels and starring Mike Epps...

From Variety
Lee Daniels has committed to directing The Weinstein Company’s Richard Pryor biopic with Jay Z on board to produce.
The Weinstein Company had decided in May to postpone the project, titled “Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said,” after Daniels, the showrunner of Fox’s hit series “Empire,” left the helming gig when he was unable to fit the movie shoot into his schedule. A start date is now set for early 2017.
