Eddie Murphy to Star as George Clinton in New Biopic

The film, directed by Bill Condon, will explore the life of the Parliament-Funkadelic leader and is based on his memoir.

Eddie Murphy will portray funk legend George Clinton in an upcoming biopic directed by Bill Condon for Amazon MGM Studios.
The film's script, written by Virgil Williams, is adapted from Clinton's memoir, detailing his rise from North Carolina to founding Parliament-Funkadelic.
George Clinton will serve as an executive producer alongside Murphy, who is producing through his own production company.
Murphy and Condon previously collaborated on the 2006 film 'Dreamgirls,' which earned Murphy an Oscar nomination.
The biopic was initiated by Catherine Davis, a devoted fan of Clinton, who brought the project idea to Murphy.
