While Eddie Murphy doesn’t necessarily compare his career trajectory to that of comedian and film producer Rudy Ray Moore, who he portrays in the Netflix film,Moore, who was stung by a string of showbiz failures, took his fate into his own hands. Borrowing from the street mythology of 1970s Los Angeles, Moore assumes the persona of Dolemite, a pimp with a cane and an arsenal of obscene fables.
“When I got older and I found out that he had financed his movies, and financed his records, and put his stuff together, and he was like an entrepreneur and guerrilla filmmaker, that’s the part of his stuff that was really interesting, and I thought that would make a great movie,” said Murphy during his stop at Deadline’s TIFF studio.
For director Craig Brewer, whose “career started as a guerilla filmmaker,” relating to Moore’s experience came easy. “The more I started learning about Rudy’s experience with it, I realized, he really is kind of the unappreciated, unknown patron saint of guerrilla filmmaking. He did it all himself. He was producing it, he was putting it together—the whole look, everything—and even if it falls short, to some people’s standards, it doesn’t stop it from becoming a classic.
