Eddie Murphy is reportedly slated to act as Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton in an upcoming biopic.
He'll also serve as a producer on the film along with John Davis, Cathrine Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment. The four industry heavyweights are currently trying to sort out the rights to the movie with Clinton, who is a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Until then, they won't set out to find writers and workshop the project.
Murphy has a few things in the works, including a Kenya Barris-directed Netflix comedy, You People, which was co-written by Jonah Hill and Beverly Hills Cop 4, set to release this summer.
Clinton was inducted into the Rock Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in '97, along with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic and in 2019, he and those members were given their Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards.
