Well, almost.
Following fall outs with the film's previous backers Paramount (the film has moved to Sony), Eddie Murphy is out of the running to play iconic stand up Richard Pryor in the upcoming biopic. Lined up and in advanced talks for the role now is Marlon Wayans, who wowed producers with a 13 minute audition tape.
