Coming to a theatre near you: "Super Freak: The Movie"? Rick James life story being made into a motion picture?
June 10,2004 Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is in negotiations to acquire the film rights to Rick James' autobiography "Memoirs Of A Super Freak",with David Chappelle in early talks to topline the feature film adaption of the funk rocker's memoirs for Paramount Pictures.James,best known for his hit "Super Freak",has been working on the book for some time.In addition to his own pop and R&B hits,James wrote and produced many songs for artists such as The Temptations,Teena Marie and Eddie Murphy.Chappelle,who is repped by UTA,has appeared in numerous feature films,including "The Nutty Professor" and "Con Air".He has also impersonated James on his Comedy Central series "Chappelle's Show".

OH MY...  Dave is NOT an actor though!  It's one thing to do the Chappelle Show, quite another to bring a person to life (in a serious way) for an entire movie. Eh fuck it, nothing gets cast right these days...    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Dave is a good comic actor and can play the straight guy but if you put Dave in that role you got an all out comedy and everyone will be waiting for him to scream "Darkness". It would be funny as hell but I don't think I would want to see a serious Rick James movie anyway! | |
