In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, the 47-year-old actor Don Cheadle (best known in his Oscar-nominated performance in 2004's HOTEL RWANDA) has revealed some juicy details regarding about his long-gestating Miles Davis biopic project. Here's what he had to comment below.
... It's three to five years average for most movies to get made, but often it's 10 or 15 years. This is the kind of movie the business 10 years ago may have leapt at. But now, you don't really see movies like this. We have a studio offer and we're trying to back into a budget number, like we always have to do, without gutting the piece. [...] It's not a biopic, per se. It's a gangster pic. It's a movie that Miles Davis would have wanted to star in. Without throwing history away, we're trying to shuffle it and make it more cubist. The bulk of it takes place in '79, in a period where he actually wasn't playing. But we traverse a lot of it his life, but it's not a cradle to grave story...
Hmm... sounds interesting. Let's hope all the long wait is worth it when the Miles Davis biopic finally made it to the theaters one day.
