Get On Up! Watch The Super Bad Trailer For The New James Brown Biopic
The Mick Jagger-produced film is due out later this year.
JAMES BROWN, THE GODFATHER of soul, is the subject of a new biopic produced by Mick Jagger and directed by Tate Taylor (The Help). Chadwick Boseman will play The Hardest Working Man In Show Business in Get On Up: The James Brown Story, a film that looks set to chart Brown’s rise from his beginnings in rural Georgia through his truly thrilling R&B/gospel stylings and revolutionary funk grooves to jail terms, drug addiction and the battle for survival.
Dan Ackroyd, Jill Scott, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer will star alongside Boseman.
