Eddie Murphy is in talks to join the cast of the upcoming Richard Pryor Biopic.

According to reports, Eddie Murphy will team up with Lee Daniels’ untitled Richard Pryor biopic. He will play the late comedian’s father, LeRoy “Buck Carter” Pryor, a boxer and World War II veteran.

Mike Epps is also attached to star as Richard Pryor in the upcoming feature film.

“Harvey (Weinstein) would like it to be released for the Oscars. Because, you know, Harvey is good at that sh-t,” said Pryor’s wife and producer of the film, Jennifer, in a recent podcast.

Daniels hinted Eddie Murphy was going to join the cast earlier this week on Instagram by posting this:

Strap in and brace yourself. They done let me and him out of our cages! #idonteventhinkimreadyforthisone! #excited #proud #OMG

A photo posted by Lee Daniels (@theoriginalbigdaddy) on

Eddie Murphy revealed in an interview that he grew up watching and idolizing Richard Pryor. “Richard’s the one that made me want to do comedy,” he has previously said. “When I was little I used to sneak into my basement and put his albums on.”

Kate Hudson and Oprah Winfrey are also rumored for supporting roles in the Richard Pryor production.

Lee Daniels is on fire. His new TV drama “Empire”, which was renewed for a second season, is on track to become the most watched television show.

Disneyland Surveillance Cameras Catch Ghost Walking Around and It’s Amazing

A 2009 YouTube video has gone viral showing a grinning ghost walking around Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion and Rivers of America areas after hours. Disneyland is completely empty, giving the ghost a chance to walk around sidewalks, grass and through gates. The ghost even walks on water near the end of the video tape.

You may have to look closeley, but you can see something is walking around.

https://youtu.be/jnjibWcbV2o

Reddit user _littlehelll resurfaced the video on Friday. Users speculate the apparition may be the result of re-using VHS surveillance tapes. Some say it’s Walt Disney’s ghost, and others don’t know WHAT the heck is going on here.

One thing is for sure, this ghost isn’t waiting in line for hours to ride Space Mountain.

People want SNL Canceled after Dakota Johnson’s ISIS commercial parody.

From being cherished and loved during the 40th anniversary to being despised and hated a few weeks later, Saturday Night Live is having a rough week.

In an otherwise routine and boring episode of SNL, one particular sketch featuring special guest Dakota Johnson has the world going crazy. The skit was a Toyota commercial parody where a young girl joins ISIS.

Needless to say, people hated the skit:

Can’t be serious. Isis skit? Like going to college? When so many people are being kidnapped and killed? Depraved. #SNL

WATCH: Marlon Wayans’ Audition Tape for Richard Pryor Biopic

The role now belongs to Mike Epps, in an upcoming movie that will be directed by Lee Daniels (Empire) with Oprah Winfrey also attached to play Richard Pryor’s grandmother. But, when the movie was in early development, Marlon Wayans was tapped to play Richard Pryor in a film that Chris Rock was expected to produce. But, that was 5 years ago in 2010. When Rock wanted to make the movie he was shocked to see Marlons’ audition tape.

Lee Daniels has not really spoken publicly about the project, although he did point out that Chris Rock loved Marlon Wayans’ audition, however producers and casting directors loved Mike Epps’ performance even more.

There were several other actors that were tapped to audition for the role of Richard Pryor including Nick Cannon and Michael B. Jordan. However, the role was later given to Mike Epps.

Here’s the footage; the first half, I’m told, was written and directed by Bill Condon (director of films like “Dreamgirls” and “The Fifth Estate”); the second half is a Pryor monologue.

Check out the audition below:
