New on Blu-ray: KUSO (2017) - Surrealist Body Horror Comedy Anthology Film

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: Broadcasting through a makeshift network of discarded televisions, KUSO is a shifting series of vignettes tangled in the aftermath of Los Angeles's worst earthquake nightmare. Travel between screens and aftershocks into the twisted lives of the survived. Blending nightmarish visions, animation and a shocking image of a distorted America, this is the daring debut and Sundance sensation from director Steve, aka renowned musician Flying Lotus. Delirious, provocative and darkly hilarious, KUSO is as verbose with macabre, music, melancholy and unimaginable imagery. You won't believe your eyes, or your mind.

Eddie Murphy to Play George Clinton in Biopic From DREAMGIRLS Director Bill Condon

Eddie Murphy is set to reunite with "Dreamgirls" director Bill Condon for an upcoming biopic focusing on Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton which is being developed by Amazon MGM Studios. The screenplay is currently being written by Virgil Williams ("Mudbound", "The Piano Lesson"), from an original draft by Max Werner. The project was initiated by Catherine Davis, a lifelong George Clinton fan, who brought the idea to Murphy.

The film is based on Clinton's memoir, "Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard On You?", and it chronicles the untold story of the influential pioneer of funk and his tumultuous journey to founding musical collective Parliament-Funkadelic. Known for their outlandish sci-fi themes, surreal sounds and psychedelic shows, Clinton and his band's wild road redefined music and culture.

The film will be produced by Murphy via Eddie Murphy Productions, John Davis via Davis Entertainment, Davis and Greg Yolen. Eddie Murphy Productions' Charisse Hewitt-Webster, as well as Clinton, Archie Ivy and Jeff Jampol are executive producing.

Murphy is next set to star in "The Pickup" with Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson. Condon is currently in post-production on "Kiss of the Spider Woman", a feature adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical starring Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna.

Eddie Murphy To Play Godfather Of Funk George Clinton In Upcoming Biopic

Academy Award-nominee Eddie Murphy is in early talks to star as Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton in an upcoming biopic. Murphy also produces the film, which is said to be a passion project of his. The filmmakers are currently working to secure the rights with Clinton, before setting up writers and beginning to shop the movie.

Clinton is widely considered to be the Godfather of Funk, rivaling James Brown and Sly Stone as the foremost innovators in that musical genre. The film will chronicle Clinton's life and legacy, from his childhood in 1940s North Carolina, to the formation of his groundbreaking bands Parliament and Funkadelic in the late 1960s.

The movie will also explore Clinton and the bands' impact of the future of hip-hop and artists like Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Outkast and the Wu-Tang Clan. Clinton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, alongside 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. In 2019, he and those members were given their Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards.

Murphy will next begin work on the Netflix comedy "You People" directed by Kenya Barris. He is also set to star in "Beverly Hills Cop 4" this summer. The actor currently has a three-picture, first-look film deal with Amazon Studios, which he signed last year.
