Miles Ahead moves ahead
Cheadle will direct and star in the film Miles Ahead, which is based on the life and journey of jazz musician Miles Davis.
The project first had traction in 2008 when Miles was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and his nephew told reporters that I was going to be playing him in the movie, which was the first I’d heard of it. People started calling to try and put the movie together because the family had given their blessing for me to be in it.
