Eddie Murphy has been cast to play George Clinton in an upcoming biopic...
From The Wrap
The “Dreamgirls” team is getting back together.
Director Bill Condon has signed on to direct Amazon MGM Studios’ untitled George Clinton biopic, which will star Eddie Murphy as the Parliament-Funkadelic leader.
The script is currently being written by Virgil Williams, who co-wrote this year’s awards contender “The Piano Teacher,” based on an original draft by Max Werner. The project was initiated by Catherine Davis, a Clinton fan, who brought the idea to Murphy.
The movie is based on Clinton’s 2017 memoir “Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard On You?” According to the official release, “The film is the untold story of influential pioneer of funk and his tumultuous journey to founding musical collective Parliament-Funkadelic. Known for their outlandish sci-fi themes, surreal sounds and psychedelic shows, Clinton and his band’s wild road redefined music and culture.”

Brilliant. Maybe Eddie can finally get his Oscar.
Oh, now this should be a must see. Eddie doing all of GC "ism" like he does James Brown will be epic. Will Eddie wear a fat suit for the later years of GC? LOLO
I'M VERY MUCH INTRIGUED......
I can't wait to see.
I will be in line to see it.
Uncle George is 1 of a Kind. That's a Tall Order. I Don't think He'll be able to Deliver.
EM SHOWED HE CAN DO IN "DREAMGIRLS" & "DOLEMITE".
HE'LL DO FINE IN THE ROLE OF THE FUNK LEGEND GEORGE CLINTON.
NOW THAT I SAID THAT ' CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE FLICK IS CAST & IN PRODUCTION.
Eddie better be funky.
What happened to Tyrese playing Teddy P?
Michael Eugene Archer Could Play Him.
^^^Clinton Not Pendergrass
Wonder if Mr. Clinton ever got his Masters back from that Pawn Shop. Those thieves should have been jailed.
AHHHHHH, I KNEW THAT NAME MICHAEL EUGEN ARCHER SOUNNDED FAMILIAR.
I KEPT THINKING: "MICHAEL EUGENE ARCHER,? WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT NAME BEFORE?"
EVEN THOUGH I LOVE HOM TO PIECES, D'ANGELO GIVES A HECK OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE BUT HE'S NOT AN ACTOR THOUGH.
Ceelo would have been a good choice as well.
YEAH, I CAN SEE CEELO AS MR. FUNKENSTEIN GEORGE CLINTON.
BUT, I THINK MR. CLINTON MAYWANT EDDIE MURPHY IN THE ROLE BECAUSE EM IS ALSO PRODUCING THE BIO.
^ Ceelo is a midget. They would have to role the camera on the floor to see him act. His voice is too high and GC is not that ugly.
^^^^ WOW, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HEARD ANYONE TALK THAT TALK ABOUT CEELO LIKE THAT.
I'M STILL RECOVERING FROM YOUR DIG ON CEELO'S APPEARANCE. LMBO.
I ACTUALLY DIDN'T SUGGEST CEELO, THOUGH-@5:26 PM HAD.
Whoever the actor who played Eddie Winslow from Family Matters could play a stage or two of Clinton’s life.
