Wesley Snipes, Craig Robinson, Mike Epps and more join Eddie Murphy in Dolemite Is My Name

June 15, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Last week it was announced that Eddie Murphy is set to star in Dolemite Is My Name, a biopic of Rudy Ray Moore, star of the blaxploitation film Dolemite, and now comes word of more additions to the cast.

The film, which is being directed by Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow), has added Wesley Snipes (Blade), Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine), Mike Epps (Meet the Blacks), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Office Christmas Party) and Titus Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt).

Dolemite Is My Name sees Murphy portraying raunchy stand-up comedian Moore, best known for his character Dolemite, whom he took to the big screen in 1975 with a movie of the same name (as well as three subsequent sequels).

Production on Dolemite Is My Name is underway now, and the film is expected to arrive on Netflix in 2019.
