Get On Up

Film Appearance0 Comments

Aykroyd plays Ben Bart, James Brown’s manager, in Tate Taylor’s Get On Up, the man who is credited with discovering Brown in an Atlanta nightclub. Get On Up tells the story of Brown’s rise from poverty to music stardom. Co-starring Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, and Jill Scott.

So, when Danny Ray came out and dropped the cape on James Brown on Please Please Please, that was a seminal moment for myself and my six friends, who squeezed into one of my friend’s mother’s Mustangs and all came down from Ottawa to see this show. And there was James Brown — his bolero heels like this far from our beers, dancing up and down the Esquire Show Bar. A full band, they had to pack on this small, little stage, but the horns, the rhythm. … So, really early on, I loved him.

Spencer plays Aunt Honey, James Brown’s aunt, who raises him after he is abandoned by his mother, in Tate Taylor’s Get On Up. The movie explores the “tough love” relationship between the pair and how it contributes to Brown’s rise from poverty to music stardom. Co-starring Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Jill Scott, and Dan Aykroyd.

She doesn’t use him. She lets him know that if he’s going to be under her roof, that he has to be a contributing member of the household.  When you have mouths to feed, everybody has to contribute. At the end of the day, she did take this child in, and she already had the women there that she had to take care of, and their kids.  So, she could have easily said, ‘No.’

Scott plays Deidre “Dee-Dee” Jenkins, James Brown’s second wife whom he physically abuses, in Tate Taylor’s Get On Up. The film chronicles Brown’s rise from poverty to music stardom. Co-starring Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, and Dan Aykroyd.

We had to approach it very gingerly. The family is definitely involved in this film, and we didn’t want this to be the highlight of his existence. We look around and see pictures of James Brown when he went to prison…and they’re talking about drugs, but there’s so much more to this man. And when we approached this particular scene where there was some spousal abuse we were very careful about it because we don’t want to taint this man’s image or his legacy.
