Don Cheadle Plays Miles Davis
Sony Pictures has revealed the first trailer for Miles Ahead, an upcoming Miles Davis biopic directed by and starring Don Cheadle as the jazz great.
In his directorial debut, Cheadle plays the role of Davis in 1979, instead of a typical round-up of a musician’s life. Ewan McGregor stars as a Rolling Stone journalist who at first is a nuisance, but becomes an ally when a recording tape goes missing. Co-stars include Emayatzy Corinealdi, Austin Lyon, Michael Stuhlbarg and Keith Stanfield.
Davis’ nephew Vince Wilburn once said that Cheadle was the only actor who could play Miles Davis, and finally, the film is coming out April 1st.
