Chappelle's Show Movie... :-|
Di Bonaventura mad for 'Freak'
By Liza Foreman

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 adaptation of the funk rocker's memoirs for Paramount Pictures. James, best known for his hit "Super Freak," has been working on a 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 also has impersonated James on his Comedy Central series, "Chappelle's Show." Other Di Bonaventura projects in the works include "Derailed," starring Clive Owen; "Detour," based on the book by James Siegel, and "Doom," which he is producing with John Wells for Universal.

If one episode of the show ended up with half of the English-speaking world saying "I'm Rick James, bitch!" at any and every given opportunity, I shudder at the thought of what a whole movie about that could do.

Yeah, that's going to be crazy.

But it's gonna bomb because it would be a really long time between the episode of Chappelle's Show and when this movie comes out.

I don't see any point in making a Chappelle movie right now when most of the casual viewers only know the show by the Rick James sketch.
