Zoals we al eerder meldden zal Mike Epps de rol van acteur/komiek Richard Pryor spelen in een biografische film die geregisseerd zal worden door Walter Hill (Brewster's Millions). Website Latino Review sprak met de Amerikaan:

[eng]“I love Richard Pryor. I love him to death. The only thing I can do is be at your services if you ask me to, and represent the man. The master. He’s a wizard. He’s a wizard of comedy. So everybody’s got to bow down to him. My job is to represent him right. I can’t do an impression of him. I’m just telling a story through me. I’m telling a Richard Pryor story through me.”[/eng]
