Comedian, actor, writer, producer and author George Lopez and producer Salvador Vasquez are teaming up with Truly Original to develop a pair of unscripted projects.<\/p>\n

The collaboration will cover a documentary and a competitive, comedy-driven reality series. The first project is the feature documentary Darkness: The Charlie Murphy Story<\/em>, which chronicles the life and career of writer and comedian Charlie Murphy, who passed away from leukemia in 2017 at the age of 57.<\/p>\n

The older brother of Eddie Murphy, Charlie was best known for his work as both a cast member and writer on Chappelle\u2019s Show<\/em> and for BET\u2019s mockumentary series Comedy Get Down<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The documentary is already in production and is being produced by Truly Original, Richard Murphy (Charlie Murphy\u2019s cousin and former manager), Lopez and Vasquez.<\/p>\n

Lopez commented, \u201cCharlie Murphy was so much fun to be around. I\u2019ve never laughed so hard, and I want everyone to see what I saw!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a ton of reasons why we wanted to team up with George on these unscripted projects, and they all come down to this: there\u2019s nothing he can\u2019t do,\u201d said Truly Original co-CEOs Steven Weinstock and Glenda Hersh. \u201cBeyond his renowned comedy chops, George is a seasoned producer whose star power and longevity offer a vantage point that\u2019s rare in our business. We\u2019re delighted to be working together and excited about the projects we\u2019re developing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truly Original’s executive VP and head of development, Chachi Senior, said, \u201cIt all really began with Charlie and this documentary passion project that brought us together with Rich, Sal and George. Collectively, our entire team sees a big future for George in unscripted, and we\u2019re thrilled to be working together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
