Rick James Movie!!! Uh... Bitch!

[Ananas]

I'm Rick James bitch Jun. 10, 2004  Source: Hollywood Reporter  by: Mike Sampson    I've said it before and I'll say it again - Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show" is the funniest half-hour on television. And it was only a matter of time before sometime parlayed that humor into a feature film. Well now Paramount and producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura are looking to take one of Chappelle's most popular skits - Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories with Rick James - and adapt it into a movie. The film will actually play out more like a Rick James biopic as the project is said to be based on the rocker's upcoming biography MEMOIRS OF A SUPER FREAK. One can only hope they'll somehow find a way to work Charlie Murphy into the film somehow. Chappelle is also working on another film project, an untitled film about his family's fictional participation in historic events. The comedian just wrapped a stand-up tour and is currently negotiating a return to Comedy Central for a third season of his popular sketch show. It's definitely a celebration bitches.

Chappelle is so on the verge of superstardom. If either of these films hit, it'll be an excuse to get him into the mainstream media. Discuss.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Like it has already been said, Dave Chappelle is soon to be a guaranteed superstar,

It's a celebration! Dave Chappelle does have the best half-hour on TV and now he could have the best hour and a half on the big screen with these projects.

Why hasn't any channel in the UK picked up Chappelle's Show?

[Media 2.0]

That's awesome, for him.

Wonder if he'll actually star in it, playing the role from the show. I just think it'd be odd seeing him like that for a whole hour and a half. But still, I'd go and see it when it comes out.

From what mtv.com is saying, he probably will.

Mark..........OUT! Rick James movie would be the shit, period. Ill see it day 1.

[Guest Pulp]

Looks like the tables have turned darkness....

This would be good. They should do "Charlie Murphey's True Hollywood Stories" next season too.

[Mysterio2000X]

This shit is awesome, Dave Chappelle is THIS close from being a huge star, as opposed to a cult favorite that he is now.

[Hellfire]

Thats awesome. Cheppelle's Show is the funniest show on TV, and one of my favorites. I would go see both of those movies if they come out, and i hope they do. I want to see him become a superstar, he deserves it.

I remember flipping through the channels and saw it on Comedy Network(Canada's Comedy Central) amd it was really funny, I think I'll watch more eps of it soon

[Underage Politician]

Bleh. I don't think it'd work for a full movie. The sketches are pretty funny but I think it'd get kinda old in a 90min+ flick. Anyway, I like the Chapelle Show. Pretty funny, but it gets overrated by its fanboys.
