Don Cheadle IS Miles Davis!

2007-03-16 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 13 Comments
'Best Actor' Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle is set to star as Miles Davis in an upcoming film depicting the life of the jazz legend.

Cheadle will direct the film, due sometime next year, while the script will be written by Stephen J Rivele and Chris Wilkinson, who wrote the 1995 biopic Nixon. Cheadle has reportedly secured the rights to use Davis' music in the film.

This is becoming a real fad - depicting the life of music legends in movies.

Fucking awesome!!!! I wonder if it's based on Miles' autobio!

I don'know bout Cheadle playing Davis, but the writers of Nixon... that's cool

So who's gonna play Coltrane? Denzel Washington? I'll puke if they don't put Trane in the movie. And I also hope they don't fuck over the Bitches Brew period.

This is pretty unreal.
I agree, Coltrane needs some bumps here. Sidney Poitier.
