LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Comedian/actor Bernie Mac is in final negotiations to sign on for his first role in a big-screen drama, co-starring with Terrence Howard in “PDR” for Lionsgate Films.
“PDR,” or Philadelphia Department of Recreation, chronicles the real-life story of Jim Ellis (Howard), who in the 1970s transformed a group of troubled inner-city kids into one of the best swim teams in the country.

As soon as we get rid of Rocky, we get Bernie. Figures. This is like a bad party that refuses to end.
