'Miles Ahead' Trailer Stars Don Cheadle as Jazz Legend Miles Davis
The life of legendary musician Miles Davis will be told on the big screen later this year in the biopic entitled Miles Ahead, which debuted at the 2015 New York Film Festival and is set for theatrical release on April 1. Today we have the first trailer for this upcoming drama, starring Don Cheadle as the musical icon, with the actor also making his directorial debut. The actor/director also spoke with Entertainment Weekly, shedding new light on this unique story.
10 years ago, when Miles Davis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the musician's nephew Vince Wilburn told reporters that he thought Don Cheadle was the perfect actor to play his uncle. The actor admitted that he wasn't pursuing the role at that time, but at first, he was only interested in starring, not directing. The actor/filmmaker revealed how he came around to making his directorial debut on Miles Ahead.
