Hey, remember back in May, when director Lee Daniels dropped out of the long (long, long, long)-developing Richard Pryor biopic?
As previously announced, the cast of Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? also includes Oprah Winfrey as Pryor’s grandmother and Kate Hudson as his widow, Jennifer Lee Pryor.
When Daniels dropped out of Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? back in May due to scheduling conflicts, The Weinstein Company (oh, you didn’t think this wouldn’t be an awards contender, did you?) postponed the film.
Okay, just forget that ever happened because Daniels is returning to the project, and this time he’s bringing Jay Z with him — as a producer.
