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 intends to produce and topline.

The key word here is ‘intends’, which means this project is still a ways off from production.

But he’s practicing the trumpet, and that’s a good sign for Miles Davis Biopic watchers.

We recently reported that the film’s title, as of this second, is Kill the Trumpet Player. No comments so far from Cheadle on the movie title.
