Mike Epps will be joining the cast “Nina” the biopic picture of the late great singer Nina Simone, which is directed by Cynthia Mort. Epps will play the late Richard Pryor… Even though I can’t see him playing that role… It should more go to Rocko.. Monica’s baby daddy, because he has the look… Maybe not the personality……

 That can be taken care of.. Nothing like a little role playing and studying of Richard Pryor and how he was can help… Anyway Pryor opened for Nina Simone when he was first starting out in his career as a comedian. As we all know Zoe Saldana is playing Nina which should of went to someone who looked a little more ethnic if you ask me, but hey this is Hollywood we are talking about here!  There is alot controversery surrounding her playing this legend.  Also Nina’s daughter Simone Kelly has been left out of the planning and the production of the film…. I mean she would know better,  wouldn’t she? That is her mom for God’s sake! Anyway filming begins this week in LA…Nevertheless congrats to Mr. Epps……..
