Gabe at The Playlist recently caught up with Antoine Fuqua to chat about his current and upcoming films. Lucky for us Gabe mentioned the Miles Davis Movie that has been in development for what seems like 20 years. It has been reported here at Miles Davis Online for months, as well as on other websites, … Continue reading »

In the meantime, here are some posts about the Miles Davis Film you might have missed! Don Cheadle On Miles Davis Biopic: “We’re Not Letting … 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 »
We’ve been keeping the updates on the Miles Davis Biopic over at Miles Davis Online, but we figured we’d provide a nice update to the original Blog – where it all started! Don Cheadle Exits Director’s Chair For Antoine Fuqua Antoine Fuqua IMDB Page Now Lists Miles Davis Project Don Cheadle Still Mum On The … Continue reading »
In the beginning – March 14, 2007, to be exact – when it was officially announced that Don Cheadle had struck a deal between his Crescendo Prods. and the Miles Davis Estate to star in a movie about Miles Davis, it was also revealed the film would be his feature directing debut. On that same … 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!). So while the news of Antoine Fuqua jumping into the directors chair to help navigate … Continue reading »
I posted an item yesterday about Antoine Fuqua looking like the pick to direct Don Cheadle in the Miles Davis Biopic. Cheadle was originally going to direct, but it looks as though a busy schedule (perhaps) and the demands of the leading role gave him reason to bring in a director to work with. A … Continue reading »
Back in November I asked: Is Antoine Fuqua Directing The Miles Davis Biopic? I brought it up because I read an interview in Spain-based online newspaper ABC.es where Erin Davis, son of Miles, said that Antoine Fuqua is the director. It’s not news the Miles Davis estate and Cheadle have been talking to Fuqua. But … Continue reading »
When it comes to the subject of potential films about the life and times of Miles Davis, we have two projects to discuss: Don Cheadle’s longtime-in-development, not a Hollywood biopic thank you very much, project, that is backed by the Davis estate. Then we have the more recently announced biopic put together by director George … Continue reading »

The 65th Cannes Film Festival is underway, which gives me yet another, yearly opportunity to speculate whether or not the Miles Davis Movie will, or should, premier at Cannes if and when the movie is ever completed. So here we go – more fun conjecture to fill space until we know more details about what … Continue reading »
Not much has changed since late December when Don Cheadle opened up to the Wall Street Journal about the state of the Miles Davis Movie. It was a nice slab of red meat to chew on as we wait for the project to pick up steam. Sure, no one still has a clue what he … Continue reading »

Don Cheadle recently discussed the status of the Miles Davis Biopic in an interview with Collider.com. For me, the highlight of his comments was describing the film as taking place “over a day and a half of his life — a very intense day and a half of his life…” We’ve known for awhile now … Continue reading »
I have not posted one of these in awhile. But it had to be done. A few months ago we had a nice flurry of info provided by Don Cheadle, who noted that they had a studio offer. But he has not elaborated. And so we wait…. Continue reading »
