, starring Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore in the biopic about the comedian, film producer and star of the blaxploitation Dolemite films.
The logline: Stung by a string of showbiz failures, floundering comedian Rudy Ray Moore has an epiphany that turns him into a word-of-mouth sensation: step onstage as someone else. Borrowing from the street mythology of 1970s Los Angeles, Moore assumes the persona of Dolemite, a pimp with a cane and an arsenal of obscene fables. However, his ambitions exceed selling bootleg records deemed too racy for mainstream radio stations to play.
Hustle and Flow‘s Craig Brewer directs a script by Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski, John Davis and John Fox are producing with Murphy. Supporting cast includes Mike Epps, Craig Robinson, Tituss Burgess, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Snoop Dogg, Ron Cephas Jones, Barry Shabaka Henley, Tip ‘TI’ Harris, Luenell, Tasha Smith.Subscribe to
