* Haven’t dropped one of these on the site in awhile. But yeah, nothing is happening. Of course, no one has still yet to make an official comment about Antoine Fuqua joining the project as director, which is just odd. There was for a time ’2013′ listed next to the project on IMDB.com. But no … Continue reading »

First off, there isn’t much there – yet -, but we launched KillTheTrumpetPlayer.com. This is the title of the Miles Davis Film, which we reported on in early November when I caught the title in a news roundup on Deadline.com. There must be numerous reasons as to why the Miles Davis Biopic cannot get up … Continue reading »
Tucked away near the bottom of a Hollywood Reporter interview (wrapped around an expensive watch advertisement) on Don Cheadle, we get this morsel of info: On the set of House of Lies, the sound of Cheadle practicing trumpet is a regular lunchtime treat, says Bell, part of his prep for a Miles Davis biopic he … Continue reading »
A news round-up of TV deals on Deadline.com alerted me to the fact that the upcoming Miles Davis Biopic will be titled Kill The Trumpet Player.

There’s always the possibility it just isn’t going to happen for Don Cheadle’s cubist approach to the movie biopic about jazz legend Miles Davis. As with most non-blockbuster films, money is usually the issue. Cheadle acknowledged this in a 2010 interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

When I posted back on June 19 about Antoine Fuqua set to direct the Miles Davis Movie, his IMDB page at the time did not list the film. But as of right now it’s there. In the Project In Development section we can clearly see Untitled Miles Davis Project, which tells me it’s happening. But … Continue reading »
Antoine Fuqua is going to direct the Miles Davis Biopic. Just because Don Cheadle hasn’t made any official comment on his always enjoyable Twitter page doesn’t mean it’s not true! Fuqua’s IMDB page now has the film listed under Projects In Development, and that’s good enough for me. Word got out last month when I … Continue reading »
There has been no comment from Don Cheadle since I posted a video interview last week where Vince Wilburn Jr. of the Miles Davis Estate mentioned that Antoine Fuqua was the director of the Miles Davis Biopic (Not A Biopic!).
