About Dolemite:
Eddie Murphy is about to return to the screen for the first time in awhile. He’s starring in Dolemite Is My Name. Hustle and Flow‘s Craig Brewer is directing a script by Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski. According to reports, John Davis and John Fox are producing with Murphy, who has been excited to play this role for a decade.
The movie centers around the life of Rudy Ray Moore. Moore worked in a Hollywood record store in 1970 when he began hearing obscene stories of pimp and hustler named Dolemite. He started a club act where he became Dolemite. He then began generating records that mixed humor and a ghetto fantasy character, burnishing the legend. While too racy to be put on display in record stores, the records became a big inner city underground hit. The proceeds allowed Moore to finance the 1975 film Dolemite, which he starred in as a kung fu-capable pimp ghetto hero who stuck it to The Man.
