Cheadle to play Miles Davis in long planned biopic NEW YORK (AP) — Don Cheadle will play Miles Davis in a biopic the actor has long planned on the innovative jazz pioneer. BiFrost Pictures told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it will finance and produce "Kill the Trumpet Player," with Cheadle also making his directorial debut. Cheadle has been trying to make the film for years. Production is finally set to begin in June. The production company said the movie will focus on when Davis temporarily retired from making music and then re-emerged in 1979. The script is written by Cheadle and Steven Baigelman. Ewan McGregor will co-star as a Rolling Stone reporter, and Zoe Saldana will play Frances Davis, the trumpet player's former wife. Davis collaborator Herbie Hancock will be involved in the production. Davis died in 1991 at age 65. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

He kind of looks the part, and I think he´s a good actor, too.

I've been browsing other message/comment boards and it seems like the overwhelming majority of people are thrilled to see Cheadle cast as Miles Davis. I am looking forward to it. I imagine that it won't be in theaters until mid-to-late 2015. I wonder how long he's been trying to get the project off the ground? None of the articles that I have seen mention how long he's been trying to get this up and running. Does anyone know? And I wonder why the delay? Someone who is an A-lister like Cheadle should easily be able to pull this together, right? Trolls be gone! | |

I'm sure Don will rock this. I bet he gets the best actors to make cameos, since he has many friends in Hollywood. Just Music-No Categories-Enjoy It! |
