The Miles Davis Movie: Don Cheadle Gets Involved – In 2007!
I think it’s interesting to see various newspapers and websites commenting on the ‘news’ that Don Cheadle is going to play Miles Davis in a biopic of the jazz legend. Obviously they are not reading my work(!). It’s no big deal to be delayed in reporting/commenting on an entertainment story, but I kicked-off the Biopic [...]

Miles Davis And The Oscars
From what I understand Miles Davis has never been nominated for an Oscar or attended the event. But, by all means, please let me know if I’m mistaken.

The Miles Davis Movie: Don Cheadle: “I’m trying to make a movie that Miles Davis would want to make.”
That’s a quote from a Don Cheadle interview with Vibe. I’m not sure anyone knows what kind of movie Miles Davis would want produced about his life.
